Just curious what kinda of rear diff and the gearing your Blazer came with? I just found out the code in the glove box the other day GT4=3.73's with G80=locking differential. I was pretty stoked when I found that out and kinda figuered I had some kind of limited slip

I swapped my GU6 3.42 open diff for the ZR2 axle GT4 3.73 with a G80. I wanted the lower gears and the wider axle to go with my bigger tire setup.
