Thanks! It cost me around $2800 in parts for axle, steering and drivetrain. Lift was about $120.

 

Now in this case I should have saved my money I spent around 1300 on wheels and rough country kit I need to save for that axle swap, hows the ride feel on that and is it slower

 

It rides firmer than stock for sure. About the same as an xterra or trd Tacoma. It handles far better than with the 5" trailmaster lift I pulled out. It has to be slower than stock,I've added a fair bit of weight. Mileage isn't bad, about 9 mpg in town, 19 on the highway.

 

You wouldn't happen to still have trailmaster lift would you

 

no, sorry. it sold really quick. I wouldn't buy a TrailMaster lift for an S series again. It was decent overall, but it had poor steering geometry, and a little hokey how some of it was done.

If you want a lift, a SAS really isn't too hard, just time consuming.

 

That's what I do want but like you said time consuming, I need to finish my other project first because the blazer is my daily driver I think I might start hunting down piece by piece, what trucks would be donors for the axle swap?

 

it all depends what you want to do with it, how hard you want to drive it and how you fabrication skills are. Cherokee axles are really popular, have good aftermarket support and are the right width. Best of all usually cheap and easy to find. The down side is they are somewhat weak, only the front is a better axle is an s10. I thought about using a couple full width Ford axles a Dana 44 and 9" rear axle, a bit wider, but could work and are pretty tough. The 95+ explorer rear axle is good if you want a decent axle with disc brakes.

I chose my axles because there was nothing bolt on about it...completely custom.

 

And what about the t case

 

You'll need to change out the front output shaft on your transfer case so you can install a standard or CV(preferred) yoke. a late 90s to 2000s cherokee works ok as a doner so long as it has the wide chain. 95 and earlier blazers all had the wide chain and a standard yoke.

 

Thank for all the info now I just need to start hunting down parts on the bright side its almost new years so pretty soon it'll be tax return season
