The DEG parts should make the rear a snap; remains to be seen!

Funny you mention that.
I've always thought about these conversions in great depth.
For me personally,... I would move the entire crossmember forward 1" to help center the wheels on low trucks.
I know this means, moving sway bar mounts, idler arm holes, and the steering box holes,... but to me it would be worth it.
Especially if you could weld and do it yourself,... which I know you can.

I remember seeing this mod years ago on a squarebody blazer converted to 2wd.
But I can't remember which magazine it was in.
