hmmm maybe they will give me a good deal on just the new control arms since i bent the last ones for them all to hell.

The only problem i see with a diif drop is the front driveshaft and the y-pipe. For the 6in kits you have to get a custom made y-pipe to clear the front drive shaft

Heck yea, at that price Im seriously interested. 3-4" suspension lift, 2" body lift and I'll be mounting up 33". Might have to do some fender trimming, which is no big deal.

This is HUGE news IMO. Finally something to solve the CV joint issues the susp. lifts have been having. It's about damn time though, frig, they only stopped building the Blazer oh... 6 years ago.

This is pretty big. I think a lot of people are building up their S10s since they can be had pretty cheap. I'd be all over a kit that would drop the front diff down 3-4 inches especially if it's reasonably priced. I'll be patiently waiting. If it was possible to get a time-frame that would be awesome.

I just peeked under my Blazer, and it looks like there's about 3" of clearance between the stock y-pipe and the front drive shaft. I think you could probably safely drop the front differential 2" without running into any clearance issues. On a 3-4" lift that should still maintain safe angles for the front CV's. I'm super interested in this lift.
