Trimming 96 blazer front fenders
Well everyone is saying trim your fenders for larger clearance but when i look at my blazer all i see at the rear of the fender well is the floor boards. Does this also need to be modified to complete this task?I'm installing a 2 inch body lift next weekend and looking other options as well to fit 35's any info would be appreciated. thanks

1.) It's a 4.3 liter V6
2.) Nothing wrong with stock
3.) Unless you're trying to fit 35's with just a 2" body lift
Seriously, you won't have any fenders left if you're trying to shoehorn 35's under a stock suspension Blazer with a 2" BL. Even one of our members with a ZR2 to start (3" higher than non-Z's) is only running 33's with waaaaay more than a BL.
Here's a member who's trimming to fit 31's.
Here's a VERY informative thread on what tires will fit with which lifts and any extra necessary steps.
Oh, and welcome to the forum. Got any pics of your truck?

Yeah, heh was wondering if anyone would sayanything about the .7 anyways My intention isn't to put 35's on just a 2" Body lift. Im still debating on which route i want to go with the suspention. axle swap would be my top choice but i don't have any place to do it presently.... or the parts lol anyways... I had already found that thread with the search button. great resource! Hopefully Flyinbrad will have some insight for me. No pictures yet. I'll take a few snaps while installing the Body lift. UPS better be on time!!!!

Haha oh wow...35's..might as well just take the fenders off. And unless you're going to find 35x9.5s you won't be able to turn due to rubbing the frame.
