if it's a factory 2wd frame with leaves it should be the same as a coil just without all the right crossmembers witch you could get from any 2wd truck and drill the holes and bolt in. I think I have all the crossmembers you need let me Know if you need them

I have a question on this topic. I have found a 4x4 Blazer here, but want to make it a 4x2. Can I just lift the body off and bolt it to a coil spring short bed truck frame? If not, then I am wondering how to get rid of the leaf set up and go to the coil set up as well. Can one recoup any money from the driveline of the 4x4?

A Blazer frame and a swb frame are not the same. But as far as I know, of you had a 2 wd coil frame donor, you can take the 2wd suspension and bolt it to the Blazer frame. To make it a coil sprung 2x4.
