Default Making my own bodylift...

Hi,
I want to do a 3" Bodylift on my 98 4WD Blazer, but they sell the 3" only for the 94-97 models...

So I thought I buy just the lift blocks and make the bumper brackets myself. What else will I need?

Can I use this kit? http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-7850300/

What do you guys think?

All you need to do is fabricate new bumper brackets.

I'm pretty sure there is a current thread on this very same topic going on right now? Take a look under this same section and you'll find the answers you are looking for.

Actually the kit you linked is for full size HERE is the one for s-series (which is the same kit I have on mine) unfortuanately the price has gone up $30 in the last 18 months was only $60 when I bought it the only thing it does not have is bumper brackets I installed it entirely myself (body was already hanging from the rafters in my garage as I was I was mid cancer removal/repaint etc at the time.)
