You can use something like this to move the axle back in the wheel well.

There's similar parts available just find the one you want. Another option is to remove your rear axle, cut off the stock perches and weld on these: https://www.wfoconcepts.com/pr/2-5-L...rch/16871/3373

I went with option two to center my axle up in the wheel well.

For your headers I'd recommend Sanderson headers. I used these and they fit and look amazing. Happy to post a pic if you want.

Excellent, thank you for the links, I am looking at the zero rates from ORD, but I like the first link you sent, especially with the top plate that matches. I may have to get that top plate, if I can't alter mine easily enough. I powder coated my axles, so I want to avoid cutting and welding on them now. (Sad face)

I was actually looking at the old school Sanderson manifolds, I didn't look at the headers yet. Thank you for the link on those as well, it is good to know that they fit. I'm going to wait and see how this all meshes together once I adjust the transfer case so the body can be fully mounted. Maybe The header will fit after everything is in place... I doubt ut will, but here is for wishful thinking.

I love your Blazer's stance, what is your lift/tire set up? It looks amazing.

Thank you again for taking the time to respond.
