It wasn't to hard. Would have went a lot easier if they had one with discs on it. The one I got is a g80, but it doesn't work anymore. In my experience with chevys(not just blazers) and g80s its not worth it. Eventually I'm just going to put a aftermarket locker in. They run ~350-400.

If you still have your old axle pull the carrier and put it on the shelf for when you decide to put in another locker because none of them fit in the G80 carrier!

I've got a good rear with 3.73s and G80 if you are interested. I also have the front diff to go with. I'd let it all go really cheap just to get it out of my way. Your not to far from me either lol!

Dang it! Didn't know that. I'll just pull a carrier I guess

Lol I wish I would have know that b4. I'm pretty well set with what I have now. Gonna try to put my front drive shaft in this evening and make sure everything is working as it should.

Would you sell just the rear axle? It might be a drive to get it, but it cuts out the time it would take for me to get into a junk yard, find a blazer with those options, make sure the axle looked good and then pull it. Also what is it from? just a normal 4x4 or from a zr2?

Rex, I thought about buying yours but I have the 3:43s and I don't know if I want to swap the front out also.
