Ok, This Shaky rear axle that came with the Blazer is getting thrown out.
It was screwy when we bought the car.. I just rebuilt it, it has issues. I think the Carrier is bent it's not worth any more time.
I'm just replacing it. Will the axle with Dust shield and all fit up between the Leaf Spring and Frames without dropping one side from it's Shackle?

Just trying to put the Diff on a Floor jack and getting it up over the Springs. Possible?

Yea. You might have to take the drums off. But I've done it a 83 before and didn't have to remove anything it barely slid right in

My '99 is Rear Disc. So the dust cover is probably smaller then your drums. If it gets in there, That'll save me some time.
If anyone else can confirm, I'd appreciate it.
