Re: S10 Swap how to
98+blazers/jimmys (2wd and 4x4) have rear discs. the only reason to find a matching ratio is if you are using the stock s10 tire sizes, transmission and gauges, otherwise you will probably benefit in acceleration by going to a numerically higher ratio.
the difference in braking performance with rear discs is negligible. the appropriately sized drums will do the same job as discs on the rear of the truck, but they sure look cooler than drums on wheels with big windows.
4x4 axles are about 4 inches wider (2" per side) than a 2wd axle. there is a model called a ZR2 that got an even wider axle, about 4 inches wider per side AND will come as an 8.5 rear end, very strong.
