You would have to look at the mounts and see if they are dryrotted etc. I am not saying they are/aren't . You are talking about a truck that is nearing 30yrs old. Some of the nicer untouched blazers I have seen needed the mounts replace. Rubber only lasts so long. If thats what it needs you have to get a body mount kit. The bolts are spot welded to the pan so you would have to grind those. most get new bolts. unbolt them and then jack up one side at a time and replace. Theres a lot of threads on replacing mounts. See what some of the others on the board think. I would check all possiblities there first.
