Need more information, 4Wd or 2WD and it's only legal as long as there are no parts dragging on the ground. :eek: I find a 2.5 drop to the front and 3 to the rear with a good set of wheel of fill in the wheel well will do the trick just right.

I got a 4WD 96 Jimmy with 2 inch drop in the front and 2.5 in the rear, i had it lower but was getting bump steer and was plowing the the driveway in the winter time :mad:
 
look if your jimmy is 4x4 then you need to get new keys for your torsion bars and get 4 inch lowering blocks for the rear. do not get 3 you will not be happy. i lowered mine 3 in the rear and hated it. i have a 2000 4x4 and i lowered it 3 up front and 4 in the back. once you get the new keys you can fine tune it with the adjustment bolt that holds it in place. you will have to get shock for a lowered truck and new bump stops. go to stylin trucks they have the keys, blocks and shocks. you can get the bushings at autozone. send me your email address and i will send you some photos of mine so you will have an idea of how it will look.
