There arent too many 2wd blazers in Canada. I'm not entirely sure if the 4x4 versions have the same style swaybar..?! If they do it shouldnt be too hard to find.

Cant wait to eventually have an AD also. Keep the pics coming.
I'll be using the factory S10 frame so I wont need to Z the frame. I plan to buy a body mount kit from Advanced Design which is completely bolt on and mounts the body in a factory location.

As far as laying it out, I have Thorbros lower control arms and a LSoH no-toe steering linkage kit wich will allow me to lay nicely in the front and for the rear I have an older RideTech AirBar set up that should drop me down to a comfortable level. The rear will not completely lay but the front will giving me a nice rake when all said and done!

haha! Yes I have 2. Honestly I'll only really be able to build one out of the two. There are good and bad parts on each of them. What ever I dont end up using will be up for sale.
