ummm... 94 jimmy as in this body style?



Because your 95 Blazer looks like this:


Which if you can't tell from the pictures is completely different.

The short and simple answer is no it won't fit. I thought Wings West made a kit for the 95+ Blazer/Jimmy.

What do you have done to your truck? Honestly these things look great with a 3 inch lowering and a nice set of rims/tires. Back when I was a reluctant member of the compact car world Body kits were the craze... Now I find them to be cheezy depending on the application...

Will it fit? Probably...with a lot of custom mounting.

Will it look terrible and out of place? Most definitely. as Pat posted above they're two completely different body styles. A body kit for a 94 (1st gen style) on a 95 (2nd gen style) would just look terrible and not line up right at all.
I second the thought of not doing a body kit though. They only work on the later 2nd gen's IMO...but even then I'm not a big fan of body kits. They belong on civc's, not trucks.
