98+ Blazer 2dr questions....

Point · 11-10-2009, 10:13 PM

So its bee a couple of years from my last post here till now. Hey s10forum, how have you been?

I am going to be getting a 2Dr Blazer/Jimmy this next year and I have some questions.

I currently have a 00 Noma Zq8 that has went downhill due to life issues and me being lazy. It will end up being a beater/doner for anything the blazer might need/use.

So my questions...

After driving a zq8 for so long I am used to the steering of it. Do the Blazer x's have the same steering box that the trucks do? If not could I swap the one in from my noma?

My noma is zq8+2/3 static drop. What would be the best way to accomplish this on the suv? I don't want bags or notches. And I know I cant use the spindles or leafs from the noma. What about the zq8 coils?

I am basically wanting a zq8 blazer/jimmy. I am not sure if I will be getting a Blazer x or just a standard 2dr. People want to much for the x's.

Blazer/Jimmy gods please help me.

I *believe the blazers did not have the zq8 steering box since they are more likely to rollover.

Thats the most I can help with but that's just what ive heard.

I think that Just about all of the components would be tranferable. But not 100% sure.

This sounds like a really neat idea but since I Neva heard or seen of this kinda swap I can't give sound advice or tips.

Still gm cars are build to fit most parts from other models, might need little tweaking for perfect fitment but this should work.

Thanks guys. I had thought of the roll over issue...hopefully with me intending on it being as low has my noma, that wont be an issue. I guess, unless someone else comes in here and offers some concrete evidence, it will be trial and error.
