Hey Im looking for some advice and clarifications of some lifts I have a 1987 gmc jimmy and I've always wanted a big truck if anybody has past or present knowledge of it I was appricate it.

 

Are you asking about lifts in general or if anyone has lifted an '87 Jimmy?

 

Just if they have what problems they faced and what's their preferences are for lifts

 

Seen couple of lifted Jimmy's on local event here, sure there are complete kits available around like these:
1977-1987 Chevy / GMC K5 Blazer/Fullsize Jimmy 4WD 8" lift kit 133H | BDS Suspension
Tuff Country EZ Ride Chevy GMC Suspension Lift Kits

 

what would be the best lift to put on my 97 blazer body or suspension? or shackles and keys? give me some ideas just picked my blazer up for 700 bucks

 

Go with suspension

 

if you have the big gmc jimmy a 6 inch suspension lift is probably your most trouble free lift. anything bigger is when you start running into driveshaft and steering issues. dont get me wrong its nothing you cant take care of but a 6 inch lift with some 35-36 inch tires with half ton running gear is perfect to start with

 

I was thinking about putting the 6" Rough Country lift on my 98 Jimmy. Never installed anything like that before, want to try do it myself.

Has anyone put that lift on before? It's $1200 right now, worth the money or is there something better out?
