Non ZR2's need a 4" lift and some front bumper trimming for 33"s. Ill be going 35's next year with my 6" lift im gonna buy over the winter.

I have a non ZR2 with 4 inches of lift along with fender and bumper trimming... My 31"s are as tall of a tire that I can get in there without front rubbing issues. I even rub the rears when fully articulating during off-road situations. Granted, I am running 10" wide wheels but I believe that even with 8" wides, 31"s are the max that will work.

depending upon how wide the 33's are and what rim you run you wont have to trim with a 6" lift, but if you want to fit 34's with a 6" lift youll be doing some moderate trimmimg unless you add a 2" body lift but even then you may have to trim a bit.

i hope the 6" lift and 35's are going on your ZR2. there is a member on this forum with a 6" lift with 34's on a non ZR2 and he had to do some heavy trimming.

6" suspension and a 2" body lift and you should be able to run 33"s on a non ZR2 without rubbing.

the only suspension lifts for s-10 blazers are a 2",5" and a 6" kit. youll need 2" of lift for 31's, 5" for 32's and 6+" for 33's. all of this information is easily found through the search function.
