Thumbs up lifting 99 blazer

i have a 90 s10 and a 99 s10 blazer i purchased a 3 inch body lift for the 90 and never put it on. so im wondering if it is possible to put it on the 99 and what kind of trouble i will run into. like will the bolts be the same, any wires or other things that will need to be extended. any advice will be helpful. thank you in advance

there have been a few guys on here that have done it. I think the only problem is with the bumper brackets.

thank you to everyone. i found a website that has the instructions and all hardware needed to lift the 99. the 90 lift kit only came with 10 blocks and the 99 kit says it comes with 12-3 inch blocks and 4-2 inch blocks. so without me climbing under the 99 and counting mounts im gonna say its really not possible.

It will work, if you make it work... The four 2" blocks are for the front bumper. If you install the kit on the 99 the bumper will be 3" lower than the body. You may also run into problems with the fan shroud and maybe the fuel filler hoses.
Like I said, you can "make it work".
