01 Jimmy 2 door 2wd. Plans are to just keep it simple, and keep it clean.
Plans include a drop, i want to go as low as i can and keep the back seat functional, ss mirrors, tint the windows, a system, and eventually some grey c5s. Nothing too crazy.
Both my blazer and jimmy were dropped real low in the front and had dehumped arms with removed steering stops, so it could actually turn a bit more than "stock"
All i did was take the brake line bracket, and bent it outwards some. Gave it a good extra 1" or so of lenth without looking like they were going to rip off the truck. LOL
Did you ever find replacement end link bushings for the rear sway bar? I got a set of bushings made by Prothane for my zq8 rear sway bar. I think I bought them from Summit, I can't remember. Getting old sucks, can't remember sh!t. lol
Ryan read Jordan's 5.3 x thread it will tell how you do your own harness its rather easy. And as far as gas mileage goes it will def be better than your 4.3 without a doubt, your moving alot less weight than that engine is use to. Plus if you really look hard through junkyards you could swap for 1500 or less.
