Have a look around. Tim (hanr3) wrote up a nice post quite some time ago about what tires fit. He had a 2nd gen with only a t-bar crank that he fit 31" tires on, if I remember correctly. But as I recall, he had to do some trimming/beating.

Depends if it is your daily driver? Just looking to turn a beater into a dirt cheap rock crawler?
Cut the fenders up, trim your front bumper, take the sway bars off, 2" Shackles, 3" body lift, 1.5" Tbar crank and run some 33" tires. Build some cheap aluminum diamond plate skid plates and have some fun!

can you cut the top off a s10 1988 1 gen blazer

You can cut the top off of just about any full frame vehicle. You might want to add some more body supports in and/or make up a rocker box to support the door openings, but it is definitely do-able. All depends on your experience level.

how do i do a t-bar lift

Swain 04-11-2009 06:32 PM

You turn the Tbar bolts, you should try searching for a bit nobody wants to take the time to tell you how to do everything if you dont want to take the 5 minutes it would take to search Tbar crank, and what size tire will fit. If you can't figure out how to lift using Tbars I don't forsee you building a rock crawler.

well i look around and could not find how to lift

Just make sure you spend some time browsing the forum for how-to's and such before you start asking questions. Post some pictures of your truck and give some details on it helps as well. We need to know if it's your only vehicle that you drive everyday or if it's just a beater truck before we can tell you what you can cut off.
