Plan is for 5 lug, so I can do the torq thrusts. Any 12-bolt or 10-bolt axle from 71-87 will slide right in and are readily available cheap. Even new replacement axles are relatively inexpensive. I have pondered using the 6-lug conversion discs and 15” wheel vintiques steelies with dog dishes, but the 20” TTs just look so good...

Wade
azproperformance.com has it for $645 shipped. I went direct through DEG and added a second crossmember for $100, which will locate above/near the spring perches to minimize framerail flex. Also got a set of their front shock relocators for $80.

Jason at DEG was great to talk to, answered all of my questions and then some, sent me a bunch of pics, and offered free shipping. Satisfied customer so far.

Maybe this will give me motivation to finish my 4x4 to 2x4 Porterbuilt C4 swap.
Yes, what’s taking so long? I’ve not finished three Blazers in the time you’ve not finished 1
