Default I need help with cv axle choice

i was wondering if I bought cv axles ment for a zr2 well ..1 would they fit on a 97 chevy blazer 4x4 and 2 would they be at a better angle after I lifted it 1.5 in the front then a stock cv axle ment for my non zr2 truck

I personally was just about to ask this same question man..I noticed my CV boots have slipped off..I was going to replace the entire axle and was wondering if I go the ZR2 model route if it would be compatible also...However for the the time being I am going to reclamp the boots after repacking them with new grease in hopes it will hold awhile till I can get extra cash to get the new axles I need... Sorry I couldnt be of help with an answer..Hopefully one of these other great guys on this site can help us both out here on this...

I don't think it's that easy. zr2's have a wider track width, therefore the axles should be longer than non zr2's

ZR2 CV axles are longer.
