And what they are saying is get aftermarket wheels or wheels that came stock on a camaro or 2wd blazer and then see about how far they stick out with the 31's.
Thanks fo that

I had a look on Fleabay here and there is a total of 1 set for sale lol

4 x Genuine/Original Cheverolet Camaro Alloy Wheels, Taken From 1988 "Iroc Z" | eBay

Will these fit?

like the look of the 2" lift, was it easy to do the tb crank,
my blazer came with 235's on the front and 255's on the rear, on standard rims and they still don't fill the arches

If that's a 4WD truck, swap those tires asap or don't ever put it in 4x4. You'll ruin your truck really quick doing that.

If you put the truck in 4WD you'll be spinning the rear tires at a different speed as the fronts putting more stress on the axles, transfer case, transmission, etc, probably blowing whichever of those is the weakest. You NEVER put different sized tires on a 4X4.

The TB crank was done in about 10 minutes...both sides. The shackles were easy as well (except the last bolt) Took more time to make them then to fit 'em

And as TheRandom1 said - match all tyres size wise or never put it in 4wd

That looks very good indeed.
Is your blazer satin black?
