Had my driver side key seized too. Nothing an air hammer couldnt get out though.
My pass. side came apart easier than my driver side. I removed my lower arms to install new bushings while I was at it. I cheated with the bushings though, I had a shop R&R them after spending an hour just to get 1 out. Just need to degrease arms and paint them up.

 

Taking in my axle to the shop this week to have new bearings installed and whatever else they find needing replaced. I know my pass tube outer bearing is shot for sure. Been having a horrible shimmy from that thing for over 30k.

 

I've made some small progress yesterday with new lower ball joints and got the front diff back in place today. That was a simple task as I thought it was going to be a pain to get back in place. I found that getting the lower driver side bolt in first allowed the entire diff to be lifted right into place as it rolled right up! Heading out of town for the weekend but should have the front end buttoned up tomorrow.

 

Glad my how to helped you out! Keep at it.

 

The last pictures I took was the front differential back in place and CV's back in. I forgot to take pictures of the rest of the front end parts going in. Everything is back in place with the front end lifted up. I took measurements and I believe I have the keys turned up giving me 22"+/- from the axle center to the bottom of the fenders. I could probably go a little more but I think i'm happy with the way it is now. The measurement also includes the 2" body lift. I'm not sure if this will make any difference but I tightened the upper and lower control arms while on jack stands and then installed the tires, set the front back on the ground and retightened. The reason I went this route was to get the cam bolts back to where I marked them. The front end alignment looks pretty good by eye. The rear add a leafs will be going in this weekend and the rear will be complete. I'll let the suspension settle a bit before I get the front end aligned and put the new tires on.

 

Finished up the lift yesterday. I got the add a leafs in along with the rear sway bar brackets and new shocks. I just need to get the new tires mounted up along with an alignment and i'm all done! i'm pretty happy with the way it sits. it's sitting on the stock 235 tires now. The pictures really don't seem to do any justice. i'm right arount 22.5" from axle center to fender well edge. The add a leafs gave it a nice stance on the rear end. I had a visitor stop by too as i was buttoning everything up.

 

Nice stance. Hope to get mine back together soon to look like that. Shop still has my axle and its holding me up.

 

Blaze is getting it's front end straight today and the new shoes are going on as well!!! i'll post some pictures when i get it back this afternoon!!!!!

 

Blazer looks great! Better than I expected. I will have to trim or roll the back of the front fenders a bit as they rub when turning.
