I actually found it at 104". Whats the deal with that "factory assembly instruction manual" not listing it? They show 4 different frames none say 104".

Yes 104.5 is what mine "was", if you are going low the rear needs moved back and the front forward to be centered in the wheel wells.

Re: Whats the wheel base for 2wd blazer?

So I center the rear and front when I have the truck on the frame(on the ground-real low)?

I would set them when I had it at ride height or that is how I did mine and with the body on. It will be a pretty big project to move the front forward if using the stock suspension but I made my own c4 corvette stuff so I just positioned the crossmember where I wanted it and moved the trailing arm crossmember back on the rear. On the rear you will have to move all the related things back also. Good luck and this will make things look a ton better, most people spend all this money lowering the trucks and don't move the suspension around and it looks like crap in my book.JM2C I think if you go with a dropmember on the front it will move the centerline of the wheel forward so that may be the way to go on the front.

dropmember up front will center the wheels. longer trailing arms in the rear also works well.
