91chevywt is an unknown quantity at this point

I really meant 2.5" suspension lift + 3" body lift + 2" tire height increase = 7.5" ride height increase in theory. Only really 5" of lift

ChevyBlazerChick will become famous soon enough

You need to find out what gears you are running. In order to run 35s with no breakage you need 4.10 gear ratio. Your RPO code in your glovebox has to say GT5. If you have GT4, then you shouldn't go higher than 33s.

Yeah, I used to have 2.73 ratio... for some ungodly reason(Lower the gear ratio, better the gas miliage... but its a 4WD truck lol). And blew out my entire rear end from running 33s. So I upgraded to 3.73. Hopefully you still have your Glovebox codes unlike me... all the tags on my truck are faded as heck. And if they are faded you can try to look for the metal tag on your rear end that should have it stamped into it... unless it wasn't there like on mine. lol

It should be on that sticker. Do you think you could take a picture of it and try to get it as in focus as possible? So I can help you find the number pertaining to your Ratio. I'm pretty sure it will be the only group starting with a G. You might have something different than what I listed.
