So I bought this '86 Chevy K5 Blazer about 2 weeks ago, and driving it off the lot I realized it rubs if I take either a left or right turn. Noticed it's been eating up both my tires. It's a stock lift on 33's. I figure I can lift it, without having to shave the wheel wells. Anyone know of a good lift size I should install? I was thinking either 2.5" or a 4".

either one should clear 33s. i ran 33s on both a 2 inch and a 4inch lift. sometimes bigger is better cause you might be wishing you had more after the 2.5. my 33s were brand new and occasionally rubbed when turning and hitting a bump

Thanks man. I'm thinking of also putting the 4 inch because once gas goes down, I'm going to be putting on 35's and the 2.5 won't run them. Mine rub alot as of now. Every other turn, it'll cut up the tread.
