4x4 to 2wd?

Im gettin an 80 blazer 4x4.... fullsize. Its either gonna me a mud runner or I was thinkin about pullin all the 4x4 gear and laying it out. Whats it going to take to lower a 4x4? do i need to get all the 2wd stuff to make the front end work?

(The truck is kinda rough and needs some work, so its jsut gonna be a beater toy, should be fun!)


Thanks!

Re: 4x4 to 2wd?

I fabricate and sell a crossmember called a Dropmember. There is a thread about it in the suspension section. It will let you lay it out with stock spindles. Check out the thread and see what you think.
