Nice zr2! What size tires are you running? 35s? 37s?

And I was looking at doing a sas eventually. I saw your kit on synergy offroad. I was looking at the long arm sas kit and the leaf spring sas kit. Which would you recommend for the weekend offroad trips but also a decent ride on the road as well? I was leaning towards the long arm kit, and then getting the spring over axle kit. And I would use dana44's for the front and rear.

Those are 37's for now, all the bigger I plan to run.

For ride quality, you can't be a linked setup. Leaf Springs are outdated for a reason. In order to get a soft spring that flexes properly, you get Axle Wrap issues. You can go with expensive Alcan or Deaver custom springs to get the best of both worlds, but if you have the funds to do it right the first time, you'd be money ahead with the Long Arm kit.

Great decision on the 44's. Dana 30's just don't last.

Good luck with whatever you decide, post up a build thread and give us pictures once you get moving on it!

Good looking truck man. So any chance you would be able to offer all your friends on here a discount?

Yes it should work on regular blazers too.
