Do Blazers need crossmember mods w/Doubler kit?

[johnnyK5]

I have TH350/NP203. Also; since the Doubler is same length as my setup now, I need no driveline changes. - correct?

No you need to change some stuff,

the rear shaft will be the same, and you can use the old yoke, the front shaft will have to be lengthened, and the cross member(s) will need modification. they recommend you run two crossmembers, one under the 205 and one in the stock location, but you need to have a tunnel built into the front crossmember to clear the front shaft, take a look at the Offroad Design site and it'll show you what i'm takling about, except that the pics they have on there are of the gen 1 and the gen 2 is a little different, but basically the same. I know all this b/c i have one sitting in my driveway waiting to climb into its new home. Just need my welder to come in and i'll be crawlin in 4:1.

Depends on your lift and if you clocked it or not. Mine is clocked only 1" and I was able to clear over the front crossmember without any mods. You will need a second crossmember for the doubler adapter to attach to though. Your speedo cable will probably be too short also.

I thought I was wrong once,
but I was mistaken

So does ORD sell the crossmember with the channel in it?

Not to my knowledge, you just have to find a local welder that will do the custom work to the cross member. Or find a freind that you trust with a welder. It isn't really that hard to do. take a look at that pic on their site, its basically a chunk cut out of the crossmember, a chunk of square tube with one side cut off and a bunch of reinforement gussetting. shouldn't take but a few hours for a competant welder.
