After the body lift I think he only rubbed on the frame a bit with the 31's

Your definitely more of an expert than me... with a 2.5 suspension lift and a 2 In body lift do you think I could fit 33"s?

I don't know how often he's on here but to sum it up; 2" BL, 2.5" RC Lift (I think he got about 2.25 from it)

33x10.5r15 fit with trimming, Z28 wheels, steering stops built up, inner fender trimming and firewall massaging with a bfh.

So from stock it is about 2"+2.25"+2"(29's to 33's) = 6.25" taller than a stock blazer.

If I got rims with a bigger set back like a 2-3" setback would I have yo do less fender trimming or does it not help at all

Less offset (which is the proper term) pushes your wheels out further increasing the need to trim the fenders. Perhaps you should rethink 33s and just stick with 31s.

The info is all over all of the s10 series sites, but seeing that this is my build thread I will give you a quick run down.

no lift = 30" may rub
2" body = 31" = will rub frame with stock wheel off set, may rub off road
2.5" RC = 31" (not supposed to rub but may rub)
2.5" RC + 2" body = 31" (not supposed to rub but may rub)
2.5" RC + 2" body = 33" will rub frame with 4.5" backspacing, will rub frame HARD with 6" back spacing, will require fender trimming, 33x10.5 will requre way less work than 33x12.5

That is all the info I will share. I did lots of searching to find my way. You will get lots of attitude from people if the info is only a page away and you don't read it first.

This is my rear quarter damage that happened when a tree grabbed me.



I was thinking about doing some body work, but what about covering with a decal?

What I think I need is a Photoshop of a decal that runs from the rear tail light to the bottom of the front wheel well in an arc.

Something like this but it would be cool to have it as a KM2 tread pattern. I'm just not that skilled.
