Default Picture Request: 2" Shackle Lift w/ 30" Tires

So Ive looked through the majority of the lift threads and haven't found a picture of a 4 door blazer with a 2" shackle lift sitting on 30" rubber. Is everyone jumping right up to 31" tires after the lift? I'm debating doing a 2" shackle lift but want to see what it looks like with 30" tires. Can somebody help me out? TIA

Im running the stock 235/75/15 and thats like a 28.9" tires, Im going to end up just running a 30" Tire next. If needed ill crank the tbars a tad and put blocks on but i trimmed my fenders and i plan on doing more to fit the tires anyway. Most people dont

if you just want 30 in tires I wouldn't even bother doing the shackle lift you can fit those stock then you won't have to worry about your front end parts wearing out quick from the tbar crank

I am already running 30" Duelers and have been tearing up the tires on my fenders for the past 7k miles. I've already cranked the tbars to level out the front but I'm looking for a bit more clearance... I just cant decide if I like the look of 30" tires with a 2" lift.. I really don't want to buy new tires, again haha

Thanks for the responses everyone!

are you running stock rims or aftermarket rims? i have 31x10.50s on mine with just the shackle lift and t-bar crank, mine juts barely hits. i had to trim inner fender wells, but just barely touches the rear of the fender. only does it when i'm turning and the hitting a bump. my rims have 4" offset which makes the wheels stick out 1" past the fender, tends to make rubbing worse sticking out.

I have some discontinued Weld Racing wheels so I haven't been able to find any information on the backspacing.. I have already taken a hammer to the rear side of the fender where I was rubbing the most

This picture shows just how much the fronts stick out compared to the rear wheels
