Default Lift swap

I found a 1995 GMC sanoma with a Trail Master 5 inch lift that a guy is is getting rid of because his son blew up the motor and rolled it over on its side. Would I be able to take that lift off that truck and fit it on to my 99 s10 blazer or would it be less work just to swap to a solid front axel?

I would just go with the the solid axle swap, If your going to invest time and money into the suspension, I would just go with a SFA. Or, you could get the lifted truck and toss out the blown motor for a nice 350 and have a decent trail truck.

I thought about the 350 swap but my better half said we could only afford one or the other and not both. so the blazers will get a nice 383 stroker in the future. do you know of any goodSFA kits or is it easier to fab your own. my brother works at a 4x4 shop that has a lot of jeep parts avalible. would that be my best bet

Well their are no bolt of SFA kits for our blazers, but thats great your brother has some jeep parts. I think the easiest thing would be to run I believe rubacon axles with a coil over set up.
