I like the look etc. but I prefer the stock level so I need to remove the lift on my blazer-----3" blocks on rear axel and addtional spring leaf on the front axel. Question---how many leafs were on the front axel on a stock blazer? Mine has 3 and I've seen 5 and 2.

My blazer has 373 gears 4x4 and I have two complete 308 gear axels I would like to swap into it as the rear is posi. The rear is simple and straight forward but the front is a ? as to how much of the assembly do I want to swap. The replacement is badly weathered with significant rust on eveything. Assuming the diff gears were protected by the oil, at what point would I remove things from the weathered front axel assembly to reuse my existing parts?
