Default Body and Suspension lift

Hey Guys, I was planning on putting the rough country 2" suspension lift and a 2 inch body lift on my 2000 four door blazer. I just had a few questions, would i run into any problems with this combo, also what rim and tire setup would you guys recommend for little to no trimming. My blazer is gold/champagne so what rim style would you recommend as well. Thanks in advance guys.

with that set up you should go with 31x10.50 tires as it will fit with no rubbing and trimming. as far as wheels goes i'm not sure how black rims would look on it, i guess you should check out some blazers around here find a style that fits what you like cause it is your blazer.

like he said you will be fine with 31s on stock rims. If you go with aftermarket rims you will want 6in backspacing. If you have less backspacing you wont be able to fit as big of tires with out some minor trimming. Also i wouldn't waste the money on a 2in suspension lift. You can do it your self for 60 bucks. Get a good set of shackles for the rear. For the front you can crank the tbars 1.5in. Do a search and you will find info on how to do those things. Its cheaper and easier for the same exact thing.

I would skip the 2" suspension lift and just do a T-bar crank.
With a 2" suspension lift and a 2" body lift (and fender trimming)... I am running 31x10.50-15 BFG AT's on 10" wide wheels with 5.5" backspacing with no issues.
