Re: Which K5 Blazer?
Most guys would choose 89-91 for the front end, they also have electronic speedo and 30 splines front axle shafts. The transfer case out of one of these is needed when swamping to a LS motor for the computer to function properly. So it is a good start if you are planning for a LS down the road. There are other small things like the 1/2 din radio rather than the old knobs, makes aftermarket installed much easier. 91 also had power mirrors as an option.
There is nothing wrong with body lifts, I use them all the time. The give you the added clearance needed and do not effect the factory ride quality. Your shifter will be fine with the 208 or 241 t-case. Other than raising bumpers the only other factor is that you have to drill out 2 plastic filled holes on your stearing shaft so that it will extend.
