I misworded that. I meant to say I couldnt find a 3/4 to 1/2 socket. If I would have it would of been hella easier because the power of the 3/4. I should of done a 2" over my 1 1/2. I only did a 1 1/4 crank and a had saggy butt anyways. eh.

No, you would need a body lift also.

Benedict, could you get a couple of measurements from the top of the rim up to the fender for both the front and rear. I was curious as to what the measurements were because I like the way it looks and I want mine to turn out the same way. Thanks

Mine fits 31's on a 2 inch shackle/torsion lift with minor trimming. I rub on the frame at full turn. Nothing a little bead welded on the stops wont fix.

Yeah, I don't have issues with the tires rubbing because I've got 30x9.5's but my blazer sits about an inch lower in the front than the back, stock. When I measured from the center of the wheel up to the fender, the front is at 18.5" and the rear is at 19.5". I wasn't sure what anyone else's measurements were for that. Mine does have the HD suspension and trailering package so I wasn't sure how that affected the rear height.

I don't see why you couldn't fit 31's with this lift. You would have some rubbing issues at full lock probably, but I would be inclined to think they would fit.
