ive got a 89 s10 blazer stock ifs got 31's now want 33's just have major probs with the ifs it sux i wanna lift it but ive had repliies that i need 2 do a sas just dont know what axles are compatable or best for the truck getting a 2in bodylift next week and want to do more
 
i think a chevy ten bolt will suffice with 33's, but cannot remember if you need a driver side or passenger side drop. which side is your front drive shaft?
 
What I've seen done with S-series trucks is to swap in a set of Jeep axles out of either an XJ, YJ or TJ. The bolt pattern doesn't match your current rear, so you will have to swap both. THere is NO solid front axle that matches your current rear bolt pattern.

If you ever plan on going bigger than 33's or are abusive on equipment, I'd suggest going bigger than Jeep axles and go with a set of axles out of a 1 ton Ford for the driver's side drop or you may be able to get a different transfer case out of a bigger Chevy truck to move it to passenger side drop. You will then mist likely have to re-do your exhaust because it will most likely be in the way. If you are looking at a SAS, you will be doing a LOT of fabricating anyway, so a new exhaust shouldn't be a real concern.

That is also what I have seen. I know a dude who put a Dana 30 front axle from a YJ under his S10 Blazer using the YJ leaf springs, and kept his stock S10 rear axle. He found a wheel and tire shop that sold a set of rims with a dual drilled wheel bolt pattern for both the Jeep front axle, and Chevy rear axle. I had never heard of rims like that before. He runs 33" tires.
