fair enough, thank you! And tbh I kinda really want to do a SAS. Just don't have the money atm. (I go offloading quite a bit and the most common vehicle I go with are jeeps and I can tell they have a much easier time with a SFA!) But that is way out of my skill level do you know how much that would maybe run me? also what years can I get diffs from my local junk yard only has 2 1996 4 doors at the moment
You are looking for a 1992-1996 Chevy blazer front diff. Could get one from the same years jimmy’s as well. If yours in a 96 you will have to get one with the flange style cv’s. Or switch out the cv’s as well. Your call.
EDIT: I miss read the previous conversation
sorry. You do not want the 92-96. You want the 98-2005 diff. My mistake, sorry if I confused anyone. Did you check your gear ratio? Easy way is to throw some tape on the tire and one u-joint cap down at the rear axle. Line them up and start counting rotations of the driveshaft per one rotation of the tire. Any other questions please ask!

I'm really curious why they list this as ZR2 only. I'm certain there is no difference between the ZR2 differential and the non-ZR2 differential. I replaced the factory non-ZR2 diff in my Blazer with one from a ZR2. It's a bolt in swap. No differences. The only differences are that the '98 and up trucks used a plug-in splined style CV axle, and the pre-98 used a flanged bolt-on style like the one on Outfitterdesign.com.

Still, I don't understand why you couldn't use their Dana30 diff with the non-ZR2 flanged CV axles for a 95-97 S-series? <shrug> I don't know for certain that there's not a difference between the flange mounts themselves from a ZR2 to non-ZR2, but I don't think there is.
Well if someone want's to send me one, I'll happily test it out on my '02 Sonoma and report back how it fits.
3.73 gears and a locker please!
