2 in. bl with 33's?
 
i got a 97 blazer and i am going to get a 2 inch body lift for it. will i need an additional inch or two to clear 33's or will a good wheel well shave do?

I would guess you would still need shackles and a t-bar crank. I'm running 32" with a 2" BL and 1.5" shackles/t-bar and I still had to trim.

ZR2s have to trim a whollle lot to clear 33x12.50s with a 2' body lift...and they start out with 31s....we start a size or two down from the ZR2s...yea..

Well... you can fit 33's with just a body lift, the only problem is that you will only be going in a straight line. So you will have to go with a 2inch BL as well as tbar crank with shackles plus a lot of trimming. Not to mention you will have to upgrade to atleast 4.10 gears.

just get a 2" upper a arm lift plus tbar crank and 3" shackles and you should be ok. keep in mind though that at full lock anything bigger than 32x10s or so will rub frame at full lock.

Ive never heard of an upper a arm lift, but the max total of lift without buying a 5-6 inch lift would be 4 inches total, 2 from the body lift and the other 2 from cranking the tbars, and getting 2 in shackles. You can get 3inch shackles and add-a-leafs but you have IFS, independent front suspention, so without a bought lift kit you can only get 2inches of lift. And as for tires, my 31's by 9.5's rub at full lock, so its safe to say anything pretty much over than stock has a chance of rubbing.
