Are those 4:11 gears? i just thought they where 3.73 like the RUnbolt yours and install . You can use your brake calipers and rotors . Just make sure u joint I the same . I would service reared . Then have computer programmed for 4.11 ratio. Oh and buy new tires lol
Is the driveshaft the same as the SSR rear? I doubt it, but can't say for sure. :confused
Yes but I was questioning the interchangeability of driveshafts. Mike answered they are not the same U-joints, still not sure about the length, or whether changing the yoke on the back end will do it. I know they make bastard U-joints with two different size bearing caps, so that's an option if the driveshaft length is the same.10 bolt all automatics.
14 bolt all standards
ALL rear axle on OEM SSR come with 3:73 gears.

Sounds like it will be a fairly easy swap. I have some really good contacts if you find you need the driveshaft worked on. (Shortened, lengthened, joints, etc...)I was wondering if got a 14 bolt rear end out of SS trailblazer what would you have to do to make it work.
In my experience the driveshaft length was the same when swapping into the TBSS or the SSR manual transmission 14 bolt rear end starting with a standard SSR automatic rear end. I did install a u-joint with two different size bearings caps. The special u-joint adapter cross matched up to the 14 bolt yoke and the other cross matched up with the stock driveshaft yoke. The 14 bolt rear end is a heavy weight and it will take lots of abuse. I ran this setup until I swapped over to the 4L80E transmission.Yes but I was questioning the interchangeability of driveshafts.

I put in a new park brake shoe on the driver side today. It seems like there should be something to keep it centered vertically but I can't find anything. It slides easily up and down about a quarter inch. Did I miss something?... snip ... Pay attention to the parking brake system. It's not the most robust system and tends to wear out or give up without any use...... Poor design.
