actually, the 4WD trucks came with 235/70's & 235/75's

if i remember correctly, the 2WD p/u had 215's as standard equipement.


@ mpena85: just because you got your truck with 31's, doesn't mean it was factory. like it was said, only ZR's have ever come with them.

Oh yes I understand, also my blazer has the zr2 suspension. Didn't mean to step on any toes ha. I know all vehicles are different, I was just staying what mine has and is using. Also, I got about 3 in out of a torsion crank and the bolts are not bottomed out, is that normal? My front end components are not at bad angles either. Kind of a nood at "ifs" I have a 3 in torsion twist and soon to put on a 3 in body lift.

not breakin' your balls or anything, but most guys (myself included) would be like, "yo, wuz-up?!! i'm Mike, this is my ZR2 Blazer, bitches!!! :cool:"

you must be a well reserved guy. :icon_razz:



as for the 3 inches on a t-bar crank............how did you measure it?

i'm just asking, 'cause it seems everybody has only be able to get 2" MAX outta theirs. not really sure if the other ZR owners around here have tried that, but i'm sure they'd be tooting a pretty big horn if they had cranked 'em that far.




since we seem to be taking so much about your truck, you should throw some pic's up in your garage or in your welcome post.
