Help with front end parts!
So i just bought a 95 ls blazer but it seems to have most of the stuff and zr2 would have minus the rpo code for zr2. I have skid plates 235/75/15 tires and rear spare tire mount. My front tires also stick out about 1-2" farther than the rear. I have been doing a transmission reinstall on it so havnt pulled the tires or anything yet but i plan on doing all ball joint cv axles and shocks. Dont want to go ordering the weong parts so is there anything i should look for that would tell me it should be zr2 cv axles?

The front track width on non-ZR2 Blazers is about 2 inches wider than the rear. That is why I installed 1.25" spacers on the rear axle of my 4dr. My 4dr also came with the skid plates and many on ZR2 2drs came with the external spare tire mount.
