I have a 97 blazer 4x4 that i did a leaf flip and 3inch blocks in the rear. the drive shaft fell out on the way home last night. what kind of drive shaft will fit my blazer from another chevy truck so that it is longer???? ps my gf is very mad about this so please help asap lol?????

 

IMO You will have to have a competent machine/driveline shop lenghten the shaft.I don't believe there is any other way. But now that youv'e changed the angle of the shaft itself,TOP quality joints are a must! And lube monthly!

 

What would make you think you could lift the truck up that much without getting a new shaft?
Gotta measure the flats on both Yokes and tell the Shaft guy so he can make a new shaft out of the old one.

 

i honestly wasnt expecting such a big lift from a flip and blocks. i took out the blocks and lowered it back down 3 inches and the stock drive shaft fit back in without falling out. i also lifted the front about 1.5 inches with a t-bar adjusment. i still need about 3 more inches in the front though. any suggestons on how to do that without the cost of a lift kit??

 

My little rule of thumb is, Anything more than 3 inches of lift and you are going to have to start lengthening lines and shafts. Now I know this probably won't be true for all vehicles, but from what I've seen 3 inches does seem to be the cutoff for having stock lines and shafts.

But yes, a machinist will have to machine a new shaft from your old one.
