Default frame swaps
I dont know if im asking this in the right forum or not but can the brakes and hubs from a 2001 blazer convert over to a 1996 blazer or do you have to swap the frame and all? thanks

You certainly won't need to swap the frame, but you might need the steering knuckles off of the 2001.

yeah, I was going to say the same thing. The other difference that you may have to contend with is possible differences in antilock brake sensors in the hubs...

If you do have to switch the knuckle, you're going to need new wheel bearings as well. The 96 has toothed wheel bearings, while the 98+ do not.
