I am trying to fix my '97 Jimmy 4x4 to sell and it needs front end work. There's a "Buy it now" front end kit on Ebay for ~$100 that includes ball joints upper and lower, tie rods, pitman/idler, etc.

Front end kit Tie rods Idler Pitman Joint Links Sleeves | eBay

Normally I like to buy better stuff, but since I'm just trying to sell this truck, having fresh stuff will be light years better than the blown out front end that it has now (nearly broken ball joint, sloppy pitman/idler, etc.)

Any experience with anybody who's used it? Seller has good feedback. Can I assume a '97 Blazer front end is the same as my '97 Jimmy front end?

Thanks!
