I bolted a set of blazer rear disc brakes directly on to my 8.5 rear end. All I did was rebend the hard lines and transfer the tabs that hold on the hose to the axle tube.
details guys, we need details. and pics. are you using the 4x4 or 2wd brackets on the axle? which rotors, 4x4 or 2wd? have you hooked up the parking brake cables? all help is appreciated.you can pull the fronts AND the rears from a 98-2005 S10 Blazer 4x4 4-door. hell, you can pull the whole front spindle and bolt it in (on a 5th gen El Camino). on the rears, you will have to cut the top of the wheel cylinder mounting tab off, drill 2 holes, then bolt the rear disc on. plenty of videos on Youtube showing that.
So here is something I don't quite understand. The "LS brakes" come from new body style Camaros. I have never seen a new Camaro in the junk yard. S10 Blazers are stacked in the junkyard like cord wood and you can get nearly-new parts from them for cheap. So what makes the "LS brakes" worth any extra money or effort for the same brakes you could get from an s10 blazer? What are the differences? I am honestly asking.Here's a video that had been done by Skip (LS Customs?) who had been a member here several years back.
Here's very thorough and detailed. He actually did these videos in a series.
So on a body axle the caliper would have to be clocked to under the axle. To do that use a 4wd caliper bracket and swap them sides to put the caliper on the lower front of the axle.
Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but wouldn't the caliper get crushed between the axle and frame if mounted in the front?
