Re: 4wd to 2wd k5 conversion

OK, I will withhold my initial opinion of your question. I think all 4x4's should be left that way and if anything lifted, not dropped.
Anyway, why not leave it 4 wheel drive? Why remove the front axle? It seems like a lot of work for little gain, I know it will ride better on the street, but with the right springs and shocks, the solid axle won't be bad. If ti is handling you are looking for, You are starting with the wrong vehicle anyway.
I AM NOIT BASHING ANYONE FOR 2WD! I have mre 2 wd vehicles than 4 x4 myself.
My question is why not leave the front axle in and lower it if that is what you are looking for? You could remove the front driveshaft and even swap to a 2wd tranny if you wanted and you would always have the option of going back to 4 wheel drive... like it was intended for all blazers to be.
I do appreciate the 2wd blazers and such myself, but am a 4x4 man at heart.
