96 blazer
decided to put my blazer on the road for the winter and id like to stuff the largest tire that will fit on the stock rim on it, 15x7 rim and its 4wd so it sits a little bit higher. so what can i fit?
|
i would try 31s but all depends on clearance and also rubbin my buddy had them on his bravada and it looked goofy...
|
31x?? I don't think it will look bad, might put an inch body lift on it. Depends on what my money looks like when it's that time
|
Full size blazer or S-10 Blazer?

quick cheap lift if you got leaf springs in rear and are under axle you can put them over axle and it adds a lift and cheap and then adjust your front torction bars and straighting out vehicle did that to finds blazer looks nice.
|
S-10
|
31s will rub on hard turns, and also while turning and going over bumps. They will hit the sway bar. The Zr2 runs 31" tires and that has about 2 inches of lift over a standard 4x4. If you don't mind the slight rubbing then go for it but for any serious wheeling they will definetly rub
|
its kind of a winter time kind of thing, no serious wheeling at all. would i be able to get away with a body lift or suspension?
|
If you don't want to worry about rubbing, a 30x9.5 will fit fine, and there are plenty of tires available in that size.
There are cheap 2" and 3" body lifts out there that will let you run a 31x10.5 easily. - Justin |
dont do body suspension is what you want. if body nothing bigger than inch.
higher you go with body more your top heavy your not evening height with weight on body. |

that is true he can do it him self if he goes buy blocks for rear and new u joints for leaf springs to be cheap or do the leaf above axle its free lol.
my buddy buys them like a dime a dozen for 500 800 and stuff like that we rebuild them all the time n turn them around. were working on one now converting to to floor shift and all..bought it with both driver and pass door dented and hood its the two door one so we took doors off a bravada we had also and swapped doors over and hood. |
give me some links for what i would have to buy lol

if you just want 31s a 2" body lift is the way to go. Not sure if it would be good for your slipping transmission though lol. I had 31s on my 94 and it made a big difference in driveablity compared to the 235s i have on it now |

Which Coopers do you have?
I suggested the Mastercraft Courser AT2s to him earlier tonight. They'll be decent out in the woods if he wants to venture there, and solid in the snow all winter: http://www.offroaders.com/reviewbox/...er-AT2-250.jpg - Justin |

cant see picture if their is one...lol
i like mine because they stand out lol... |
I think I'm going to do a 2" body lift and the the free lift that you guys were talking about. Am I going to run into steering or drive shaft issues?
|
3 inchs you need to lower transfer case and possible look at a slip yoke eliminator
besides that a bigger steering stabilizer ..... il be more than happy to help you...this is what im good at...i lift all my buddys trucks by me and if it can be done someone else has done it and its easy to find a site that can help |
How about just 2 inch? Or just the leaf springs and torction bars? I really don't want to put money into this thing lol
