yeah i was curious about that too. I was looking into less backspaced wheels to get me that wider sturdier base.

Nope, shouldn't be much more dangerous than stock.

kyle...............you do know that 31's will fit on a 1st gen with stock suspension so problem, right?

although, i do understand your desire for the BL (even though i can't stand them), you'll need to mod those bumper brackets quite a bit with the 3" BL. throw a steel roll pan on the rear, it'll help with the gap quite a bit. just notch it to go over the frame rails.

or get rid of the rear bumper altogether.

Check local laws first I did this at first when i put my 3" BL on and within a week got stopped and ticketed for driving an unsafe vehicle (rear bumper or roll pan is required by law here) was a very not fun $200 education. Tried to argue it in court since some new trucks are sold with no rear bumper judge didn't buy it "If it came with it the bumper is required, if it didn't show me the paperwork to prove it"

so you removed the bumper altogether, and didn't bother to install a roll pan?

was the judge telling you to get rid of the roll pan, because Blazer's weren't built with a roll pan (like some S10's)?

in the end, it sure sounds like an **** cop who couldn't get you for anything else.
