1987 GMC Jimmy 4x4 6" lift body mount bushing replacement
Sounds like you have a 6” suspension lift. The kit you’re looking at is referencing a body lift. Suspension lift will lift the truck from the frame up. A body lift is just that, lifts the body up from the frame. Your Jimmy has a short wheel base, the short wheel base will tend to have a...- Zelph

whats every body using.. looking for a new stereo head unit
:boxed: But what do you play Spotify on that Bluetooth is connected to? I’ve always been a fan of Kenwood. The factory location in my truck has been filled with a cover plate. I have a small Kenwood unit inside a Tuffy console. Much easier to see all the buttons and controls.- Zelph

6.0 NV4500 K30 swap
The ORD mounts will place the rear of an LS block in the same place as the SBC block. https://www.offroaddesign.com/ls-motor-mounts-gu32010.html The engine crossmember that they offer for LS swaps is a nice upgrade as well.- Zelph

What gears
Stock tbi, 35’s and 70+ on the freeway? Are you near the Sierra Nevada Mountains? Big Bear? That stock tbi with 35’s isn’t going to hold you at 70 mph as soon as you get a whiff at an incline.- Zelph

1973 Blazer tailgate aluminum panel restoration
I would hit up a hot rod shop or custom car shops and see about having them repair any dents or straightening and maybe do the finishing. If you just have the metal work done by them, there is a “boatload” of anodizing facilities in your neck of the woods. A cheap (used by myself) option for a...- Zelph

Wanting 4" suspension suggestions
Cheap would be Tuff Country EZ Ride. My experience with these is that they do ride pretty decent for off the shelf. I’d plan to buy some extended brake lines too, at least for the front. If you move the front axle forward you will need to cut the fender fang.- Zelph

Rebuilt Stock Steering Column or Aftermarket?
I’d opt for the factory rebuilt if it was done complete as you say. Ididit is USA made and nice as well, but a tad over the budget.- Zelph
