So it's been awhile since I updated. Iv ordered all the gauges, fuel pump, wires & plugs for the wynjammer. All that's left is to order the kit from al didn't get a chance before my honeymoon. So I'll be ordering that this week. Other wise I picked up a dual speed single fan from the pick & pull so I need to order the controller so I'll be doing the major install hopefully soon depending on time management.

Ill post pics of the gauges & pod. Later tonight.

I started with a tbar crank & 2in shackles. Now I installed the rc2.5 suspension lift & a 2in pa body lift. Any lift that fits blazer on the same year will fit a bravada.

Oh so basically mostly T-Bar n the rough country 2.5. Did you have to change your transfer case to 4x4? Or just left it all wheel the only reason I'm asking is cuz I need to get advice from someone who lifted a bravada cuz by me it's rare there isn't one I wana be the first but I appreciate your help n what not

If you wonna do a the rc2.5 just do it bucuase the trucks look wierd with just a tbs crank & no shackle. I'm planing on swapping in a np233 & converting it to a manual in the spring. Hopefully by this weekend I'm gunna be swapping in a blazer front diff & doing the posi lock mod. & just leaving the transfer engaged all the time.

Sorry I read thru fast last time. Anything that'll fit a blazer suspension wise will fit a bravada. I have a 2in PA body lift & the rc2.5 lift & haven't had any problems. Yea my mpg/speedometer is off because I'm on 31s. You could do a ECM reprogram & have them adjust for larger tires. I'm gunna be getting a wynjammer when ever I get my army bonus & it include a new ECM & I'm gunna have them adjust it. I you have any more ?s hit me up.
Oh & the bravada s only have a "high" gear no low that's why ppl say to change it. I'm just setting my up this way to have controllably 4x4 for the winter. Gunna do the t case swap in the spring.

That wynjammer setup will be pretty bada** NEVER seen a bravada with one. To get selectable 4wd you can switch out the front end and do the posi-lock cable mod. You could also swap out the transfer cases for one out of a blazer but how would you shift it? This guy figured it out - Zr2USA.com > How to: Manual 233
If you want to use a np231 from a first gen s10 with a manual shift lever you should check out this thread, it will answer all your questions. I am doing the first gen s10 swap soon. - https://blazerforum.com/forum/builds...x4-swap-42803/
EVERY SINGLE LIFT for Blazers and Jimmys WILL WORK on Bravada's with NOO complications. EVERYTHING bolts onto a bavada the SAME way as a blazer or jimmy. The transfer case AND the front diff have the SAME mounting points just different guts.

I bought an np231 off a buddy the other day out of a 89s10 & both front & rear driveshafts for 300. A buddy is gunna help me rebuild the internals since I've got it out of the truck & then ill build a "BF232" & then it's just a matter of figuring out the linkage since I already have a floor shifter.
I'm holding off on the S/C for right now because of financial issues.
I can remember if I updated but I put a 3.73 front diff out of a 04 Sonoma jn a few weeks back. I'm gunna do the posi lock mod sort of but I'm gunna do a vacuum solenoid like the mod Gio did in his truck.
