by the way the kit I looked at on JCW comes with the filler neck extension,front bumper mounts...says the rear can be raised with bracket adjustments..also said for the blazer with the 4.3 vortec would jave to make adjustments or a mod. one the air filter-intake- because it would hit the hood but thats no biggy

well actually i dont know if you will have to do any mods with the body lift because i have never done one. everyone who has done one on here usually hasnt had a problem doing the BL or a BL with the T bar crank. you could do a quick search on "body lift" and you will get everything you need to know.
