I have a 1993 s10 blazer and I'm wondering what is the biggest lift kit available? I've seen a few 5 inch kits, but I would like something larger. Also if I installed a 5 inch suspension and a 3 inch body lift, what is the largest size tire I could reasonably fit under it? Thanks for the input

 

It got cut off but here's a good start to your questions:

Thanks, but like I said, I've seen a few 5 inch kits. Also the 6 inch kit(s) on that link are for fullsize blazers. Im wondering if there is anything bigger. And with a 5 inch plus a 3 inch body, how big can I go tire wise?

 

im going to stop you for a second, there are two things to consider. One, how big of tires do you want? the chassis is only so long so however you look at it the tires cannot be to big that the front and rear ones rub each other. Second of all is that with enough money - anything is possible. i mean if you stack up a 6 inch suspension kit and get a machine shop to build you a custom 5 inch body lift then you would be sitting 11 inches higher - but at a large cost and of coarse lost of other modifications for everything to still work.

So in the end here is the big question for you:

How big are the tires you WANT and is it going to be a daily driven vehicle?

 

Well in time I would like to go with 37s if posible, but I'm not looking to spend 5 grand on a lift. I'm not too crazy about body lifts due to the visible gaps between the body and frame. Also I've seen that the tranfer case shifter stays at its original height. Maybe the ones I've seen weren't done right?
I have also considered a solid axle swap, but I dont have a garage( that I can use anyways) or yard, and I dont know anyone with a machine shop. If some one had a true bolt-on kit, it would be a done deal. I'm just looking for something different in this world of huge full size trucks. Thanks

 

I do not believe that 37's are possible with even a 6" suspension lift and a 3" body lift... Not to mention the strain on the rest of the truck and the almost non-existent gear selection for the stock (weak) front axle...

If you want to go that big, a solid axle swap is about the only hope you have.

 

6" suspension and a 3" body lift is the biggest you are gonna get "off the shelf". For more lift (or at least a different way to do it) You could do a solid front axle conversion or... Buy an old K5, remove the body and make your s10 body work on the fullsize frame.

 

Thanks guys.

 

THAT I gotta see.

 

Well since you asked.....


Same truck from the side....
