would i still be able to tuck 31's under the back? Right now im running stock 235/7515 but i really want to run 31x10.5 15 in the back and the front and I know I wont have a problem in the front because I'm getting fiberglass front fenders and hood similar to this s-10

31's should fit the rear with no lift (or very minimal lift) as an example i have 30's under mine with no lift (just a torsion bar crank on the front), Where you run into more problems with the 31's is in the front with no lift, they'll rub when you turn (but with the rough country lift up front you shouldn't have that problem)

i put a "3" inch lift on mine, which worked out to a 2 inch lift. by getting new keys and shackles on ebay, able to fit the 31 inch tires and they only rub on the frame when turning. just need to get new shocks or shock extensions depending on my budget and prob some spacers, then the ZR2 fender flares :)

I would love to be able to get these fenders for my truck! Im probably going to pass on this lift since the diff drop doesent do much of anything at all

Yeah I'd like to see a pic of CV angles post lift. If it doesn't drop the diff enough to make a difference then why spend the money on the kit when you can get the same lift from new Torsion keys and a pair of homemade shackles.

BIG PROBLEM! ATTENTION! Anyone that has purchased the new 2.5" kit from Rough Country and/or installed it, park it and call them immediately. (Thats what they told me to do, only I was the one that recieved the call from them). Apparantly the ball joints that they have for it are complete junk and the distributor that made the ball joints had a bad mold or something which made them brittle? The test blazer that they have their new 2.5" kit on is having problems and three other people have actually snapped through their joints and caused damage. So, as a result, they told me that they are shipping me completely new upper control arms with redesigned ball joints that solve this problem. I will get them Friday in the mail and they have agreed to refund the extra labor which is $190 after alignment. So I really dont reccomend driving it because as the guy told me "You will get hurt if it snaps". That is horrible news, but until next week, im rocking a 2003 Pontiac Bonneville. Vroom Vroom =]

At least they are taking care of you which is nice to see.
