6"s is all you need to run 36"s on these trucks.
Some trimming required but that's normal too.

I have a 72 chevy truck now with the lift I plan on putting under the blazer. Im guessing on the 10'' because it has 73 and newer 8'' lift springs with a 7'' shackle in front and a shackle flip, 4'' blocks and unknown springs in the rear. I estimated 10'' compared to my 4'' lifted truck. It has bald 37''s on it now and its barely legal under the california lift law. The 36''s really werent that much smaller.
vtblazer, I know what you mean about lift, tire clearance and trimming. You are correct. Im just getting by with the tires and wheels and lift that I have. Im kinda stuck with what I got until Im ready to spend the money on all new suspension. Here is a few pics of my 72 currently with the bald 37''s.
