Swapping is ok but better be careful when you do it coz they might give you brakes that dosent function well...Just found out that the coil springs were broken when I swap the suspension of my car to a much newer one... :sad017:

Yeah, should swap fairly easily. You will have to replace a few other parts though to make them function properly. If you want rear disc's, just buy a conversion kit and use your old R/E. The R/E in the blazer may not have the same gears as yours. Could affect gas mileage / power ect. On a good note, the effect could be good.

im not 100% sure but im sure its close if your truck is close to the same year.

is it swappable though? and yeah ofcourse i would change the pads and stuff on it before i just bolted it up, lol.

by Bwcad1 » Tue Oct 09, 2007 11:06 am

just change the brakes.

ok.. just got a line off a 93 Blazer i believe... while i was there there was a 98 Blazer with rear disc brakes... i wonder if that rearend is swappable with my 96.. hmm

im sure they will let me know, i know em all pretty well... i just need to make it til Friday.. im flat broke.

Yeah, would be cheaper, but the lines only cost about 5 bucks apiece. But if you are having problems getting it to shape right, then def rent a bender. Hell, take the bender home, its pretty small, easy to get into the tighter areas around the R/E. That way you can ensure a fit.

you think i should try and go pull one off a junkyard truck and then go to AutoZone and bend it? that may be an easier route to try first i guess.. cheaper too..

by brent » Tue Oct 09, 2007 9:00 am

Go rent a bender from autozone. They have manual benders, real simple fix. If you do it by hand, it will cause a restriction or pinch which opens up a whole other can of problems.
