Yeah they are not cheap thats for sure but I got in last minute on a group buy and got a deal good enough to not trust my used surplus center ram and hoses to still be good even tho I have no doubt that they are the PSC stuff is just pretty lol!

Wow. Rex, I just made it through the entire thread and I gotta say there's a LOT of information here. I also see I might as well have kept my mouth shut in my earlier post about your posi-lock on the front diff and possibly putting in a manual transfer case, as all of those questions were answered in the thread anyways.

Great looking rig, man. Looks like it will go anywhere, at least until you snap the front shaft (which hopefully doesn't happen somewhere you can't get out of without 4WD). It gave me a lot of good ideas for what I want to do with my Blazer once I start putting some money together. I'm definitely doing an SAS and an engine swap, but instead of a Chevy power train I'm being offered a Ford 5.0 liter out of a truck my friend is buying just for its body. I'm gonna mate it to a 5-speed manual and the transfer case out of the same truck. I'll start a thread of my own once the project is underway.

Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

^ thanks for the compliments. I try and post everything so others can see it and use it for their own ideas or to just copy if they'd like as well. Start a build thread when you get going!

Swapped a new ruff stuff cover on the rear today. I was really hopeful for my Barnes 13 bolt cover so I could chop off a good bit on the bottom of my diff but with it being a new axle it has a drain plug built in to the bottom which would cause huge issues if I were to cut it so I traded my Barnes cover to my buddy that has my old axle for a new ruff stuff cover so it's a win for both of us in the end.

I will still be able to shave a good bit off the bottom even with this cover. I can realistically gain 1/2-3/4" more clearance still.
