    Steering not right after new components

    Thanks for the responses. My transmission went out since this post and also while that's going on I'm going ahead and putting the 4.10 gears in it. I'll have to get back to the steering once all of that is complete.

    Which axles to buy?

    These are the other numbers. Appears to be a G9 6. I flipped the photo upside down to make it easier to read.

    Which axles to buy?

    OK, I think I may have figured out the confusion, and it's cause is on account of I'm an idiot. This is a 6 lug, not a 5 lug. I haven't driven the truck in many years and it's in my friends shop while we get it back in shape. I had thought it was a 5 lug. I went over tonight to get some...

    Which axles to buy?

    I'm not sure I understand. I've had this 12 bolt rear end in my K5 since 2006. I already have new ring and pinion, carrier, install kit... I have everything, except when we got inside of it, the axles need to be replaced. I just need new axles for the rear housing. When I go to look them up...

    Which axles to buy?

    This rear end originally came out of a Chevrolet Truck, but I do not know the year. Are there any identifying markings on the housing anywhere that would let me know exactly what type of axles, or what type of truck this came out of? Anything to point me in the right direction?

    Steering not right after new components

    1987 K5 Blazer: 3" tuff country springs front and rear, 33x12.50 tires. I recently had a lot of work done to the front end on my '87 K5 due to the sloopy steering. All new ball joints, u-joints, sway bar bushings. A new steering box from RedHeadSteering, and also replaced the steering shaft...

    Brand Reccomendations for New Gears

    1987 K5 4x4. 12 bolt 1/2 rear end, stock front. 3" lift w/33 12.50s. I'm going to be changing the gears in my K5. I'm curious about your recommendations for what brand gears. I've used Yukon in the past in an automobile and they seem to be good, but I'd like to hear from your experience...

    What rear end is this?

    Many years ago I replaced the rear end under my 1987 K5 with a used unit, but I'm not sure what it is or what it's from. Can anyone point me give me some insight?

    Replacement Jeep Steering / Intermediate Shaft

    Nice. I have a '78 Caprice (LS swap) daily driver that I've had almost 25 years now and it's in desperate need of a new steering box. I may do a shaft upgrade on it as well.

    Where to measure to see if truck sits level

    I just installed a 3" lift on my '87 K5 (springs front and rear). The rear looks lower than the front, and I'm aware that the higher fender wells in the front can make it appear it squats in the rear even when it doesn't. I just measured the body line above the rear taillights, but I'm not...

    Zero Rate for 1" added in rear?

    OK, thanks guys. I checked the Tuff Country website and don't see that they offer any (maybe they do and I just haven't found it). I thought surely they would have a set. Is it common with lift springs that the rear would sit lower? I realize the fenderwells aren't equal and can cause the...

    Zero Rate for 1" added in rear?

    I just put 3" EZ ride lift springs front and rear on my '87 k5, and I feel the rear is sitting a little bit lower than the front. I've heard I could add a zero rate to the rear to pick it up an inch, but I don't exactly understand how that works. Is it basically just a small block that mounts...

    Replacement Jeep Steering / Intermediate Shaft

    I have a 1987 K5 4x4 (3" lift if it matters) I have read that the Jeep Cherokee intermediate shaft from 1988-96 is a direct bolt on replacement for the Blazer steering shaft. Is there any particular year in that range that is best? I'm going to purchase a new shaft as I need my truck on the...

    Do You recognize this receiver hitch brand?

    This is for sale locally. It's for a K5 blazer, but seller is unsure what brand it is. Does anyone recognize it? It's from the 70's or 80's. Thanks,

    EZ Ride springs: Regular or HD

    I have an '87 K5. I have decided to go with the Tuff County EZ ride 3" lift springs. I have a winch and a winch bumper. I mostly do on-road driving, so ride quality is more important than off-road performance. I'm curious of your experience: Will the weight of the winch and winch bumper...
