I have puchased a 72 4wd Blazer and am in the process of converting it to a 2wd. Originally I planned to use a 74 rear leaf set-up due to the ease and cost. I have read that a trailing arm set-up would ride much better than the leaf set-up. I'm having a hard time locating a correct 5 lug rear. Last night an individual informed me that I could use my 74 5 lug c10 rear with an adjustable parnhard bar and trailing arm perches due to a desired 8" drop with flip kit. Have any of you went this route and do I go about it to maintain stability and be centered.
Thanks in advance.
