I need to replace the body mount bushings on my 90 blazer. Is this the right kit to do it http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ens-3-4118r ? Or is there a better one?

I think you can't really go wrong with replacement body mount bushings. I happened to use Daystar, but I would have been fine with using Energy Suspension instead. Daystar just happened to be what the vendor had.

I hate to look under and see red unless truck is red . so I would getthem black my self .
and you don't get any of the metal washers / cups also must reuse yours .
otherwise I have used them a lot on my builds no problems . my 2wd build is all whole truck energy suspension.

I tend to agree regarding the color of the bushing. I would also replace the nylock nuts they include with pinch nuts instead.
Not to hijack, but curious if the carriage bolts have to come out to replace the body mounts? I'v got a nice line-x job that would be a shame to hack up or grind away. I think my body mounts are good enough, but they won't last a lot longer.
if the bolt will come up to clean and the nut holding the bolt in will come off easy and you have someone hold the head down and not lift up . . . I think you can do it . but the body would need to come up a lot more than 1-2" to clear the bolt length .
Also, while you're doing the body mounts is a REALLY good time to do a body lift, especially a little one, like 1".
Doesn't look silly, but the extra inch makes it SOOO much easier to get to the gas tank, work on fuel lines, whatever else under the truck. HIGHLY recommended, and why do the work twice? Also, IMO the 1" doesn't look ridiculous and doesn't require much, if any, modification to the shifter(s) or steering. (Might require tweaking of the fan shroud, but that's about it.)
I did mine ... hmm, see my build thread around #341
