I got a 1 1/8 inch anti roll bar out of a 99 blazer, it bolted right in. You need all of the mounting hardware from the donor. Dramatic difference. I am adding the rear anti roll bar also, but I have a disc rear out of a 2001 s10 extreme that has the metal strips welded to the axle tubes to keep the clamps from rolling. There are 2 styles of rear bar. One faces forward the other faces rear. The S10 pickup will only take the rear facing bar unless you have a fuel cell. The stock tank is in the way. The next thing I'm adding is the 2 piston 11 inch front brake assemblies from a 2000 Blazer. It looks and measures up really close. I think they will bolt right on. Pretty soon I'll have a '91 S10 with all late truck / Blazer suspension. I really need a set of daggers. I haven't seen any pics. Has Mike posted any? Does anyone know?

I'm doing all the same stuff to my build. blazer brakes got all bolted up this last week, i dont know if the roll bar in the rear will bolt up with the daggers and duals though. i'll make something for it though. also the front sway bar from the 4dr blazer is the same as an extreme. I also bolted one of those up with enegy suspension bushings this last week.
you need the blazer spindles to run the blazer brakes. only 98 and up had them.

Thanks for the link to pics. Now all Mike needs is time to fab them. I am going to Montgomery this weekend for the import nutbag drag race. These guys are loose... They have 1.8 litre cars running 10s and 9s. :veryangry: My POS is lucky to crack a low 15.
I was going to run my truck in the street class but it wheel hops too badly. I just put in a 4.10 gear posi disc brake axle, now it hops with both tires. I'm afraid I'm going to break soimething - like my tranny or mounts. It does hook harder off the line if I can keep the wheels from spinning. Imagine that - a 3.4 60* V6 that can spin 2 tires :laughoutloud:
Anyway, the later suspension components bolt right into the earlier chassis for a substantial improvement. I'll take pics when I have the truck back on the lift. The front brakes are the 11 inch 2 piston caliper units. Much better stopping power. I got both spindles/calipers/discs at a U Pull yard for $125. The sawy bars were $19 each, a disc rear was $153. I know that these rear ends aren't for high power trucks, but when you have a weezer engine like mine, they're ok.
