Default offroading capabilities

My 2000 blazer ls has 31 inch tempra trail cutter m/t's with no lift. I am just curious how good it would be offroading. Thinking maybe someone here had a similar set up

If you had a ZR2 you would have no problems offroading with 31's. With a non-lifted Blazer, I'd stick to the parking lot yet stay away from the speed bumps.

Not trying to be sarcastic in the least but plan on a LOT of rubbing when you flex the suspension.

It will definitely do better than a car and probably alright on some logging roads. Chose your route carefully thats all.

go on ebay and look, I got mine from a company called WARRIOR. They extremely well made and powder coated as well. I had them installed within 45 minutes with an air hammer.
