Default 84' Jimmy Leaf Swap to my 89' XJ?

I have this rig sittin out here in my parking lot. It has a cracked head. I keep hearing about this s10 pack. My Jimmy is the s10 version so I've been told. It's a 2 door w/ 4WD. Could I take the leafs off of that rid and put them on my XJ. What kind of mod would be necessary to put it on my rig. Would that give me any kind of lift? Or even be worth the trouble?

You could prolly swap them but I doubt you will get any lift out of them like you would with s-10 packs. I don't think it would be worth the trouble.

So it has to come off the regular s-10 pickup?

Hey pioneer, I am looking to do the same thing... the blazer has the springs under the axle and ours are over the axle so it should be almost 3" if you measure the difference in the arch. I am going to start on mine this weekend but it looks like they are close enough to work on our jeeps
