Default lifts with 265/75/16's

anyone got any pix of a blazer with a lift that will fit 265/75/16s??? wonderin if a torsion bar crank and an addaleaf will work? or maybe the 2" lift from rough country?
thanks

I got tbar and shackles I am planning on doing a 2" body lift with 265/75/16. they are supposed to be about equal to 31.5" diameter based on a tire size calc and convert.

The width won't be much of a problem. The only issue is that a 265 tire (at least on my general grabbers) translates to actual width of 10.7 inches. A 31x10.50 grabber is only 10.2' wide. So you might still have some rubbing issues at full-lock turn just from that extra width. The height shouldn't be a problem with a 2' BL or 2' lift. You might need 3' though...2' BL and 1' shackle/t-bar.

I've got 4.5' backspace and 15x8s. I trimmed/lifted and still rub at full lock. 10.5s are prettttyyyy big.

4' of backspace will cause you to rub more than me. or you'll have to trim more than me.
