So does the 88 jimmy have a higher front end than the rear naturally? I see some folks doing different heights on the front and rear?

Hello! New member to the site and new owner of a 1989 Blazer Silverado 350 EFI, 4x4, small (2"-3"?) lift, original aluminum wheels, light grey velour interior with bucket seats and console. It is black, no body rust, a few small dings and dents, and is pretty original, with a repaint somewhere along the way. She has ~201,200k miles and has 4 years on a rebuilt transmission, drive line, and rear differential. Everything works except the intermittent wipers. Rear window rolls up and down with the key, previous owner installed a backup camera, keyless entry, and remote start. So far she needs some larger tires, rubber floor mats, seat covers, and a rear cargo mat.
