Hey guys!
My 89 has terrible front brakes, and the steering is extremely sloppy. And is in dire need of new tires. I've got access to a 6 lug 10 bolt front diff, and 6 bolt 10 bolt rear diff from a full size blazer, both have good brakes, and the front diff has solid steering. Other bonus is that they are 6 luggers, which means I can get 16" rims for the truck, and put a set of nice 33s I have onto it.
I don't really plan to put in a t-case at the moment, but I'd like to know how much fab work would be involved with getting the front diff installed, and get the truck on the road that way. If it is a bunch of work that'll take more than a week or so to do, then I won't bother. The 89 is my daily driver at the moment. I'd like it at 2" or so over stock height so i don't have tire to fender clearance issues.
More putting it in as a way to save money by not having to replace all the tires, the steering, and the brakes, lol
Though, it will also increase the value of the truck, esspecially if I sell it with the divorced 205 I've got sitting around at the moment, lol
