i was wonderin what i could do to like a 96-99 blazer to clear 265's? i think i saw something a couple years back in like a field and stream that added an addaleaf in the rear and crank the torsion bars, adding like shocks and everything else.,,
also aren't extreme wheels 16" ??, will they run on a 4x4??
i'm thinking about gettin a blazer again,, kinda miss my old one

Just throw in a lift block and crank the t-bars and you are all set!

What Euro said except i would suggest adding new longer travel shocks andeither adding shackles, doing an add a leaf, or doing a spring over axle conversion

i believe the stock Backspacing is around5-6", so anything less than that ex 3.25" will cause the tire to stick out farter, creating a larger radius that the wheel turns on, which causes higher chance of rubbing.
you can get stock backspacing, but then your tires are still tucked under the wheel well, and it usually looks goofy, making your car look top heavy, (higher stance, but not wider)
