Default need help with tire sizes

i have a 1993 s10 blazer 4wd. it sits on 28's now but im thinking of doing a 2" body lift and cranking the front torsion keys up all the way with a 1" block in the rear. im hoping to be able to fit 31's comfortable or possibly 32's. if anyone knows if this will fit, let me know. thank you.

use the "search" funtion this has been answered countless times, and all that block will do is lower ur rear theres no such thing as a lift block for an s-10blazer this issue has also been discussed multiple times.

With a 2" body lift, cranked torsion keys, and a lift shackle out back you should be able to clear 31"s. They might still rub a bit on the back of the front fenders at full lock or during articulation, but you can trim the fenders and fix that problem.

With the body lift, you might not even have to crank the bars up much. My first Blazer was an '85 and I had 31"s on that with no body lift and cranked bars to level the truck out and I beat the fenders back with a BFH. This was just a beater though so I didn't really care about cosmetics.


As said above, a block will do no good for an S10 because the spring is underneath the axle so a block will actually lower it. You will need a shackle lift for a small lift out back.

dont use a block unless u want to lower the back instead! since the leaf springs are connected below the back axle, a block will lower the back 1 inch instead of lifting 1 inch
