I have a 87 S10 Blazer, i just got some 32x11.5x15 i just put on. (its not roadworthy atm) I know on the rear i can get more clearance by moving the leaf springs on top of the axle, getting about 2-2.5" of lift in the rear. Now my only issue is the front. Ive seen the T-Bar Crank tutorial, and i need about 2' of lift in the front for clearance on the tires so they can turn with out hitting the wells (and without going through the hassle of trimming down the wells in the corners) And with tightening the T-Bars that much could cause problems down the road. Wanting to know if there is any other way that isnt expensive to lift the front about 2-2.5"

 

I think you may get more than 2.5 from moving the axle underneath the leafs

 

^^^ yeah, that is how you get the 5" of lift in the BDS kit i put on...just swapping the axle to under the leafs will get you alot more then 2"
to get what you want cheaply you may want a body lift.
or a 2" rough country...if they make it for your year. not familiar with first gens

 

Ok, so if the rear will lift up about 5", what can i do to the front? Im more or less trying to make tire clearence up front for the tires so they can turn

 

without buying a 5 inch lift kit or doing a solid axle swap, not much really

 

yea kinda blows with the following the s10 has i cant believe theres not more avaliable. those dam toyota and jeep guys have everything... for cheap! lol

On the first gens especially in 87 unless you have an engine swap the 2.8 is gonna be extremely underpowered with 32's especially agressive ones even in 4LO. thats why im sticking with 31's and the 2.5 rough country lift until i have the money for a sas and the time to put my v8 in gonna be awhile though.

 

you can do add a leafs which are fairly cheap, will give you an easy 2 inches and help the ride also. pretty sure they are under 50.00
