2WD C10 Trailing arms = 2WD K5 trailing arms?

Just curious...are the trailing arms on a factory 2WD K5 the same length as on a pickup?

Yeah, they violated their rules. ALL Blazers were K5s. K5 would imply 4x4, and 1/4 (??) ton. Blazers used the same suspension and frame as 1/2 tons, so not only is the K sometimes wrong, but the 5 is wrong all the time!
