I am seriously contemplating converting my s-blazer to a jeep solid front axel with coil springs. I have read other post pertaning to this, but haven\'t yet found enough information.



My question is...



Does anyone have any other information or pictures of this swap in progress?



If no more info is avalible I guess I will have to wing some of it. I know that this isn\'t as comman a swap as the v8 but it sure will give some more added fun.



Thanks Space.

my personal reccomendation, get a dana 44, they are stronger than the 30/ 33\'s...

Thanks for the info. It seems more are opting for the solid axel replacement with leaf springs.



I plan on using the oil spring set up. I have aslready bought a truck swap the parts from. It is an 88 Cherokee.It would be a shame to pull the axels out of this truck. It is (was) a clean 88

i think it would be killer to see that thing done. the suspension being alot better then factory and take alot more abuse what more can you ask for. lol.

Thanks. Jnoble, i seen the pics listed on your profile link. That looks good. I was planning hoping to use a swing arm jeep set up with coils.



I have changed my mind on dong this to the s-blazer. The body isn\'t all that great. I don\'t think it would be worth the $$$ to put in to this truck anymore. I have bought back the 88 s-king cab I sold to buy this blazer. The kid I sold it to gave it to me for a pennys on the dollar! He learned how to drive a stick with it, so... it needs a clutch. What a good time to sawp over the blazer 350 driveline!!!!

Then I will have a good foundation to swap the 88 jeep fe into it!!
