Great post on the different options. You don't mention the working principle of the one you picked though. Is that a full-time limited slip differential, or can you lock/unlock it?
I have a bit of metal in my diff fluid when it gets changed, especially in the front... might be I have to do some diff work anyway in the near future.
I have no idea about Crystal/Timberland, other than the placer miner said the camps there were full of garbage which makes me suspect that you can get there with a vehicle. Let us know what you find!
I use Garmin Mapsource (which sucks) to manage the GPS, and work primarily in GE for reviewing and scouting. Sometimes I just head out and see where I get to - that's how I found this spot.
My IFS sits pretty flat, actually flatter than stock (see profile pic). The way it's configured I don't think I would have any different camber than stock. I do get some front drive shaft vibration, I haven't taken the time to figure out if that's a worn U-joint/CV joint or if it's just the higher angles from the diff being dropped 3". It's very stiff, if I had the cash and the time I'd go solid axle for sure.

Stock blazer shouldn't have any issues.

Solid front also wrecks your highway ride - or so I'm told... but then that's not really what these things are about!

Unfortunately you can't see gates on GE!
Thanks for the welcome.
