Thats the one i have, easy to follow instructions. I like it. you might want to buy some better lock tight for the bolts. They dont give you much

yup...same kit i have.
easy to do...and i agree locktite amount that you get is not enough.

my only advice is read the online pdf of the manual and get to know it a couple days before you start...also pb blast the body mounts for a couple days before lifting as well.

Mine came with the rear bumper brackets to bring it up level, just had to cut away some of the bumper, the instructions are easy to follow which tell you where to cut it.

Yeah you can see them in the picture. They are the silver blocks, only for the front bumper tho. you just have to modify the rear bumper bracket. But like Warthog said, read the instructions before you start

Yeah OSS made a video on how to do it for a 98+ blazer which is almost the same steps as a 96-97. Its on youtube somewhere ill edit if i find it

Edit: here it is, i dont remember what step is different. you will have to look at the instructions.
