Default Blazer off road questions

I have a 87 k5 blazer with stock equipment besides my 35 inch tires. I live on a farm and do some moderate off roading but nothing major. Should I be okay with the stock setup? Also I hit a ditch yesterday goin pretty fast but nothing broke right then, could there be any damage from it? Thanks for any feedback, anything helps

Wyatt

you should be fine as long as you have some good tires blazers are beast in the muck just stock with some good tread...as far as the ditch is concered make sure nothing got bent and if your steering feels like it did i wouldnt worry about it, ive hit embankments pretty hard and done noting to the blazer

ive ran 38s on a stock k5 blazer axles for years and never broke anything. if youre just messing around in the fields and mud you should be fine. you start flooring it up and bouncing up rock hills you might be having some issues.

k5s are so awesome cause theres just not alot of moving parts. ive beat the heck out of mine for so man years and never really broke anything. and if you do break something youll know
