ALSO when you go from lwb to swb, i know the drive shaft has to cut, but what would you do with the swing arms? i dont plan on doin all the fab work to the cross members and such as you did. do you move the cross member forward or shorten the swing arms?

The control arms are the same for long or short bed or blazer for that matter. You cut forward of that cross member to move it where it needs to be, then cut behind the axle. There are other builds on here that discuss it. I think there's even something in the FAQ forum.
