if your using the stock rims or rims with stock specs a 31x10.50 tire should fit with no problems.

ok ive got a new question, is doing a body lift really that hard? those instructions say to have proffesionals do it,

im just wondering like would it be hard to find a like shop to do it?

also if i just did the t-bar and shackles could i get bigger tires? or no?

most people can knock out a body lift in a day or two, but if you do not feel confident enough installing it on your own most shops should be able to do it for you. if you decide to skip the body lift and just do shackles and a tbar crank you can fit 30's no problem or 31's with some trimming in the front(if using stock wheels)

the shackles should work with no problems, but IMO i wouldnt waste money on new keys just crank your stock tbars 1.5" and youll be fine.

its kinda hard to tell from the pics in your album, but just measure your blazers height from the ground and compare that to your moms blazer. measure from the bottom of the fender above the wheel to the ground and repeat that at all four corners then do the same to your moms blazer and compare to the results.
