Default 2" suspension and 2" body lift

hello everyone this is my first post on this board and I just recently purchased a 2000 GMC Blazer 2DR 4x4. I am planning on getting a 2" suspension lift kit from rough country and a 2" body lift from Performance Accessories. What is the largest tire I can fit without major rubbing????

Thanks

If you crank the torsion bars all the way, you can usually get 30 x 9.5's in there, and they'll only tickle the fenders when compressed during a turn. Most of the suspension tech says a 4" lift will allow for 31's. You may want to also consider cutting the fenders and adding some cut-out flares...added to the 4" you should be able to get 33's in there. All Blazers are different though...I have a friend who put 31's on his stock 4-door, and they don't rub at all...I put 30's on my 2-door, and have been sighted taking a hammer to my fender wells...so who knows.

You should be able to fit 33s in their without cutting your fenders. But yeah what lunchbox said, all are different. I have a 3 inch lift and 31s because i like a little flex(i just need to install it yet[:@])

I think a 32 would be the biggest on a 2000 with a total of 4" lift. The 33 would rub at least a little. It really all depends on what the torsion bars are set at, theyre all different.
