Default RE: trimming fenders

As a minimum Dana 30 in the front, ideally a Dana 44 is what i want. For the rear either a GM 8.5 or Ford 8.8. Much of this depends on what i can afford/find. Either way it seems that I'll be switching to a 5x4.5 bolt pattern as they dont offer dana's with 5x4.75 shafts. Either that or ill just get spacers for the rear if i stick with a GM 8.5 and on the front ill do a spacer adapter that will change it to 5x4.75.

that will kinda suck if you have to change bolt patterns since you already have nice wheels. the project itself will pretty cool

doing it all yourself will be $300-$400

rear shackles can be $50-$100
torsion twist - free
body lift $150-$250
wheel allignment $60-$80
trimming fenders- free.
2WD Blazers dont have torsion bars. You need lift spindles like those from fab tech. Either that or spring spacers work too and they are cheaper but dont lift as much in most cases.
oops, my bad. i missed the 2wd part, figured it was 4wd

For some reason I was thinking that you have a 2dr model, but I show that the AWD was only available on 4dr models in '96. Which body style do you have? It would be easier if you would put your vehicle info into your signature so questions would be easier to answer. See mine for example.
