Default 97 blazer lift question

I see the the RC 2.5 lift will clearance 31 x 10.50 tires so my question is wouldn't a 2 in bl on top of that allow me to clear 33 x 10.50 tires? I know there aren't many 33 x 10.50 as 33 x 12.50 bu I've seen some, any help or thoughts would be appreciated as I really want some 33's just don't want the expense of the 6" plus lift

Thanks

Dave

No, trimming would be required to fit 33's and you'll still rub on the frame.

Probably full lock or just a little before. Wheel spacers would solve that but would also require more trimming.
