my blazer brake upgrade / hub conversion plans

[6spdg37s]

did alota research on this and also my buddy is a huge s10 blazer guy

He is giving me belltech 2102 2" drop spindles
SKF wheel hubs - BR930497
AC Delco Calipers 18R1372 and 18R1373 (loaded calipers)
generic 04 blazer rotors of your choice

supposidly u can use the G body hoses or centric 150.66117 and 150.66118 hoses

ill let you know the end results when its done !

I think I read the drop spindles will widen the track (distance between front wheels) a little.

The G-body brake hoses are the same length as the Blazer hoses, only if you decide to use the Blazer hoses, it requires an adapter due to the Blazer fittings using a different thread.. G-body hoses, no adapter needed. Very straight forward swap.

Go with the Russell braided stainless set for G body.

Here's a thread of other satisfied users on the Russell hoses. https://gbodyforum.com/threads/stainless-steel-braided-brake-hose.44451/

Looking back at the thread, it's not only about using Russell hoses, but other brands as well.
I am currently using them (and like them) with no regrets. I guess I pretty much posted the thread to indicate the part #.

You will also need to do some trimming on the upper a-arms. Go on belltech's site and follow the directions with pictures. You will break the upper arm mounting bolts if this step is skipped. And they also widden the track 3/8" - 1/2" which does not sound like alot but will put tires closer to the fender lips

This^^^
Put it lock to lock, and check clearance on the calipers and bolts.
Also, I recommend the Moog 5662 springs with the drop spindles.
