With the proper gears, you won't notice a difference with the 35's other than the obvious height difference. But that is ofcourse if you can get gears tall enough....

anyone know where i could find gears for a s10 blazer,, something like 4.10 or 4.56?? should that be low enough? what else would i have to change??
another question i have is would i have to regear if i swapped in a LS1??,, i think i may have found a nice blazer, but it already has a week engine, i'm thinkin that would be the ticket

I don't think the engine would complain if you had 35s on stock gears (figuring on 3.42s or 3.73s) but your transmission would still be much happier running 4.10s or so...
