I just realized that I did not answer your question. I never drove a 2wd C10 or Blazer. All I know is that I have driven many cars. This leaf sprung Blazer handles and rides the worst. Hell, I was military for 23 years and never drove a vehicle that rode worse. Steering wanders around more than all the old cars I have driven. I cannot imagine that it will ever be possible to make leaf springs and solid axles as stable as even a mediocre ifs setup. I assume this is why most 4wd cars are ifs these days.

I love my Blazer but I did not put all this motor in it to NOT use it. I am going 2wd.
I am just very torn as I really like the ride up high.

With all the power of this cammed 6.6liter, my Blazer is kind of scary though. I would never be able to take a quick evasive manuver because it steers terrible.
