I am afraid so, It was a trade gone bad.

I went to pick up the parts for the blazer and those were the 2 drive shafts that were there. I can not confirm that they came out of the blazer(I wouldn't know why he would have them if they didn't).

My 4 wheel drive has round u bolts but sideways and hold the axle tube itself and clamps from the top of the spring. Axle looks correct. Is it centered in the wheelwell?
The truck is lifted, I do not know what size lift. Ill have to check to see that it is center in the wheel well, My first thought would be yes.



Do I need to flip the ubolts over?

I really do feel that the motor is a little to far back, But I am not sure. I do see that there are bolt holes in the frame for the cross member to come forward 2 inches
