Outer Limits 4x4 Board

gday looking at buying my first sierra and just want to know what was the last year the sierra was made before going on to be the jimmy? and anything i should watch out for? thanks

mid 96 was the last of the leaf sprung sierras than from mid 96 to 98 was coil sierras and i think after 98 was wen the jimmys came out

a few things you should think bout first,

leafy sierras are easier to lift and you can get a front lockers.

suspension lifts on coilys are limited to 40mm, off the shelf unless you get custom made. you can always go a body lift as well, or chop your guards.
u can get a rear locker but no front.
you can get reduction gears, if you swap out your transfer case for a leafy model.

you can get a front it just involves a little moding

thanks for the replies fellas
