New member with some ???
 
I just bought this burb last week and I cant wait to get started on it. Its a 91 v1500. It currently has 203k miles on the original motor. Transmission was rebuilt 5k miles ago since it developed a leak. I need to replace one of the hoses now due to a leak. Electronic trans cooler is on the way and replacing the radiator with a 4 row unit. Also adding full exhaust, new intake setup, and msd ignition. Im looking on putting a 6" lift and 37-38" tires. I have a set of 3/4 ton axles lined up to go in and maybe rebuilding the transmission to be a little bit heavier duty. Now would I need to order a lift kit for a 3/4 ton truck?

You'll need a kit for the blazer/jimmy/suburban. I'm guessing the main difference would be the rear springs, heavier than those for a truck.

Here's a link to Rough County's site for the their lifts.
