Fitting 31x10.5x15 tires
#11
yes zr2 and i did all that to mine and didnt have any issues. and i ran 31x10.5r15 bfg km2 with a 3" body lift and didnt have issues with rubbing or tearing up parts. if u notice ur ball joints getting stressed u could get those ball joint spacers and itl put ur camber and front end back to "stock" locations. i ran that way for 4 years and drove 60 miles a day on the freeway along with multiple wheeling trips without problems. ive since solid axled mine with dana44 running gear.
and what those keys do is move ur stock torsion bar location up like u turned them but in all reality u didnt. its like doing a lift block in the rear using stock springs. u just lifted it without turning them. then it gives u the 2" of cranking ability. and yes, if u max out ur torsion bars it will ruin things but u wont need to crank them all the way up with those keys.

So if I cranked my torsion bars and put shackles on, would I need the spacers to get camber back in spec?
how hard is it to crank tbars and do shackles? And also, do you need wheels spacers to get the camber back into spec?
Sorry didnt mean to post twice lol

i have 31x10.5x15 BFG's on my 2DR LS. I bought 3" Lift Shackles and T-Bar keys off ebay. i'm running stock rims and the only issue i have had so far is some rub on the sway Bar at full lock. with a little prep, it took me about 4 hours to do my shackles and t-bar keys. simply spraying the blots and joints with some PB Blaster a few times and allowing some soak time, to help break up any rust.

ya, its quick and ez if u have the tools. and if u want to do spacers u wouldnt need more than a half inch if ur running stocks. if u have aftermarket wheels with a backspacing ul be fine. and if u dont go with anything wider than a 10.5" tire. and as far as ur camber goes, if u dont max the bars out u wont need the ball joint spacers. but the spacers also add lift along with correction so u wont have the ruff ride of tight t-bars. so that is all on u and how u want ur ride to be. and also, if u wanna know where to get the spacers talk to shotnva777 on this site. he has everything ive been talking about on his gen 2 s10 blazer.

im running 31/10.515 inch bfg tires on rims wth 3.5 inch backspacing and i trimmed the corners of the fenders and now i dont rub unless im at full lock flexing and i hit the firewall then.

Can ne1 tell me the measured heighth of a 31x10.5r15 bfg at. The measurement from rim to tread. That make sense?
#17
^if i understood u correctly almost 6 3/4"s
#18
Yeah just the sidewall is what i meant. After the wheel is mounted and inflated.
#19
then that measurement is pretty damn close for u
i dont know how u guys are clearing 31x10.5x15s on a 2" BL, i just stuck my BFG A/Ts on camaro rims lastnight and.....
did the BFH treatment today after work and gained some clearance, guess i need to get off my *** and install my lift shackles and crank my tbars
also anyone find it weird that only my passenger side rubbed?

I think my blazer sits higher than most cuz I have a sagging t bar on the passenger side and still sit high enough to clear 31 on 3.5 inch backspacing with minimal trimming and when parked beside myy budys zr2 with fully cranked t bars and 32s I only sit about 2 inches lower than him
