Dumb question about suspension - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just wondering if a lift kit made for an 85 blazer would fit my 71 Jimmy. Found someone selling a kit cheep but I'm sure it doesn't fit. Thanks

No.

If it is a 4 spring lift, the rear 52" springs will work. The fronts are the wrong length though. If it has 56" rears, obviously that won't work either.

Thanks for the reply. It's a 6 inch lift. I figured it wouldn't work but thought I'd ask anyway just in case.
