wow 2 pages in undr an hour lol hot thread

HEHEHE I know, I get passionate about this subject... and you know if you are able to do the fiberglass work right, then yeah it may work... and would definitely be different. I think the wheel wells are the same between the 2 and 4 doors, but even if not, you plan to cut and fit anyways..... And if it works and looks as hot as I imagine, I may drive up your way and we could do mine the same as well! LOL....

This was posted on another forum recently that will more then answer the question in the actuall differences between the 4x4 and Zr2 suspensions in the GM S-class trucks. It is more then just one thing. I thought this was helpful, and it may help someone else too.

The following factory-installed features are what made the ZR2 standout from other 4x4 trucks offered in the S-Series class.

• Ladder Type Frame with Modified Mounting Points
• 100mm wider track (3.9 inches wider than regular S-10)
• Increased Ground Clearance (Approx 3" over Regular S-Series 4x4)
• Enhanced front (7.25" ring gear) and rear (8.5" ring gear) axles w/ 3.73:1 rear-axle ratio
• Larger wheel and axle bearings
• 31 x 10.50" BFG A/T Tires (Pickup), 31 x 10.50" BFG Longtrails (Blazer)
• Fender Flares
  • Spectra Gray on the Chevrolet Models, despite body color. Body color on all GMC Models.
• 46mm gas pressurized Bilstein Monotube shocks
• Rear Track Bar (Pickup), Front Anti-Sway Bar (Blazer)
• Skid Plates
• Front/Rear Disc brakes (1998-2005) , Disc/Drum brakes (1994-1997)
• Full Size Spare Tire

Except for the last one... all s-series trucks had full size spares... sorry... but wanted to keep the quote complete.

i didnt relize they were that different till i acually looked under one and saw it. basically nothing would work lol. but im gonna let her be till winter for now. untill she breaks down again. i am still getting that stupid trans componant slipping code. its p1870 i believe. it only does it when i drive the truck so i think it has something to do with me. but then i am the only one that takes it on any kind of long trip. the wife mostly drives it from home to work. and thats onyl like 4 miles a day. who knows.
