Default SFA Options?

So this might be a ridiculous question, but I have a 93 full size blazer, and i was wondering if i should post questions here in the k5 or elsewhere? i know k5s have sfa and mine has the crappy ifs..

now on to the question: what are my options for going sfa? I dont care very much about ride comfort as this truck is my work truck and weekend fun getter. I plan on going 37's with a 6-8" lift very soon, but i wanna get the gear and axles sorted first. Any advice is very much appreciated guys!

If it's a K5, then this is the section to post in. BTW, I changed your thread title since you're asking about the sfa conversion.

What are your fab skills. There is a number of companies that make the kits to get you started. You just then gotts decide on your springs and axles.

Making the brackets are pretty easy if you know how to weld.

As for axles, you say 37s, I would go with dana 60s.

I know longer have a shop to work on my vehicles so fabbing is out of the question for now. Looks like I'll have to fork out the $ to have it done. fml lol
