Awesome dude.

I need to mount my rear bumper too, mine is dropped down an inch right now cause I can't figure how to bring it up with my stock brackets..

Edit: Think I'll have to make a set.

the only thing i don't like about body lifts is just that. the the lift of the body off the frame. i see silverados around me with them and they just look weird with the gap between the bed and frame

to a certain extent but its just personal preference. looks good on the blazer because it isn't as obvious

Hi,
yes I have the floor shifter, no problems...

This is the start of the rear bumper. I just have to pick up some steel...



Then I removed my rusted diff cover:



the gears look fine, almost no metal at the magnet:



The new cover painted:



Beginning of the diff armor:







Welded and ground down:



It fits:
