I have Hooker Competition headers on my '82 but it isn't lowered. Since you can see the collectors beneath the truck I assume if I lowered it that would be a problem.

On my '85 GMC parts truck it also had hooker headers but their isn't a "Competition" tag on them. The collectors are above the bottom of the frame; you couldn't see them while looking level at the frame.
I can get the part # off them when I get back on Sunday if you like?

Headman headers makes a shorty header set for the 73-91 blazer. Check out Jegs at www.jegs.com they also have a complete exhaust system from manifolds to tailights for under $200 no mufflers.
I'm getting that kit for mine.

sweet ride man!
