prerunner a good idea?
so ive been daydreaming a bit..okay alot!! i thought about doing a solid axle swap and putting it into truck/tractor pulls for the crap of it, but then i thought about doing a prerunner (looks more fun) cause i saw an s10 truck prerunnered on youtube and i thought itd be kinda cool to do a blazer like that, im up for suggestions/ideas too and i just wanted to see what yall had to say about it!!

SAS would probably be cheaper and more practical for everyday use. The idea of a prerunner is to have a ton of suspension flex so you'd either have to run no swaybars or easily disconnectable ones. Also, I see you live here in IL. I dunno about you, but I haven't seen a whole lot of hilly areas where a prerunner would be really fun to drive.
I have, however, seen plenty of woody, muddy area that a SAS swapped Blazer would be lots of fun.

ok i live in the west central part of illinois, if i do do a SAS what axles should i consider? i am considering doing a rear sway bar delete anyways for the heck of it, and probably getting a electronic disconnect for the front.

Deleting the rear sway entirely will make it less stable on the road. I would probably go with disconnects front and rear personally.
I think I heard that Jeep YJ axles will bolt right up if you buy a SAS kit.
