Question Bastard pack for 2001 ZR2

The rear end of my blazer sags a little and I would like to get it back to level. After researching the forums a bunch I think I want to go the bastard pack route. I have access to '94 chevy 2500 (K2500) leaf springs, my question is can I use a spring from the 2500 on the blazer, or will they not fit?

As long as they are the right width (2.5") you can use them. You might need to trim off of the ends a bit to make them fit better but that's not a big deal.

Alright, ill have to give my dad a call and have him measure. I totaled the 94 chevy 2500 a few years back and we still have everything except the motor and trans. I figure the bastard pack will help level the truck out and help with the bit of towing I do.

I used Chevy 63's out of a 1500. Kept the longest of my leafs and trimmed the 63's to fit. Worked wonders

Where did you put the new leaf? (IE...under which leaf on your blazer?)
