It's a pretty common conversion... there should be some threads around here somewhere that you could reference. There are no holes in the 4WD rails for the 2wd x-member, but with careful measuring and a drill you should be able to get it all bolted up.

yep, thats my handy work.....Its been a long time since I completed the swap, and I no longer have the Blazer, but if you have any questions I will try to answer them from memory as best as I can.
