haha thats cool i was just picking,ive been lucky to have never had to add oil in a vehicle before and i sure hope i dont if i find a blazer.my moms rav 4 leaks oil and she has to add quarts left and right,i put some lucas stuff in it the other day,some people say do some dont,i really dont care so i tried it,its pretty thick stuff man.oh my truck leaked from the steering gear box so replaced it and man does it steer better now haha plus i replace the rag joint,that was a pain getting those big rivots out but it worked.yay me.lol dont mean to high jack your thread.yikes
It's under s10 blazer (2nd gen). This is the one for 4wd 4door. There is a separate option for 2wd.
Wish I knew this was only for the 4dr before I bought the 2dr now I'm having trouble getting the lift I need to go off roading 😞 2"body lift and 2" suspension lift (the 2 1/2" causing the ball joints to die quick) anyone have any ideas on the best straight axle and drive shaft (besides a cheerokee) for a 99 s10 2 dr 4x4 blazer?
That's what my issue has been... I was fooled into thinking the 6" would work... Now ppl tell me to swap the axles but I don't like the cherokee suspensions... Any other Chevy axles fit do ya know?

All the chevy axles I know of will be passenger side drop for the differential, our trucks need driver side drop. I'm not a fan or Cherokee alxes, either, if I'm doing all the work of a SAS, I want at least D44 level of strength.
80+ jeep wagoneers have front and rear D44s that are the right width. I'm planning on eventually finding a set of tons, and not caring how far the wheels stick out, Texas doesn't have any laws regarding fender coverage
Wow this thread is awesome. Just read through the whole thing. It's giving me the motivation to rebuild my 4.3 and order a 6" lift kit for my '01 Jimmy. May have to fight some electrical gremlins or do an EGR delete though. Thanks for your build threads, cleburne red and DonL.
So, I had already done some mild trimming, but I was still getting some good rub at the ohv park yesterday.
Now, I disconnect the sway bar when I wheel, I want every bit of articulation I can get; and while I don't do super hard core rock crawling, it's not my daily driver, and I have friends with trailers, so I'm not super afraid of breaking it, either. So ymmv with the amount of trimming vs tire size.
This is what I just did, can't really trim much more, I'm up against the firewall. Hopefully it won't rub next time out
(ignore the oil stains... I'm replacing the front axle seals very soon)
It might look excessive, but when the wheels are turned, and you come down off a rock ledge, the gap closes up significantly
Very nice build. Do you happen to have any off-roading or general build vids on YouTube? Those tires look mean!
