just because it's on bags doesn't mean it can raise up and turn perfectly. It all depends on how high the bags go.
ANd the floor bodydrop is called channeling, and you could channel it as little or much as you wanted. the purpose is to lower the car over the frame. Also, correct me if i'm worng, but isn't the Blazer a unibody? Also, on the stock blazer, no frame sticks out anyway...actually no car that i can think of for that matter. Channeling started way back in the day on hotrods (we could get into a history lesson, but i'm too tired to type it all out)
here's a couple pics of channeled cars (normally the body woud sit higher up, or the frame would show):
