more like 6" plus a 2" body for minimal trimming.....Im squeezing 31x10.5s into my blazer this coming spring, and I will be trimming even after my 2" body. If you only drive this on the road (which I doubt if you're getting 33s) then you might be ok, but as soon as your suspension starts flexing then you are going to get a world of rub.....

RE: lift and tire??
is your brothers a generation 1 or generation 2???? cause I think hanr3 runs either 32's or 33's on his gen I blazer with 3 inches of lift...
you could squeeze it on there.... but it would run about like 31's do on stock height... it would rub like hell and do some serious fender damage.... now you can trim the fenders... maybe remove the inner fender and fit bigger tires... but with no body modification you have to have at least 6 inches of suspension to clear the 33's with absolutely no risk of body damage...... look at it this way.... procomp's website reccomends that you have a 5" lift to clear 33's on a silverado..... nw we all know the wheel wells are smaller on blazers... Pro Comp fitment chart
something else you may want to look into before running 33's on your truck is This link..... your tranny is not properly geared for that large of a tire.... well, i dont wanna get into it... just read the link.... the truck will work, but will not perform at its best.....

Gearing depends on what you got from the factory. If you ended up with a GT4 (3.73), then the 33's aren't that bad. It's not a race car by any means, but it's manageable.
That chart is pretty and all, but it doesn't really apply to the real world.
