Default 35's on a full size

Is it possable to run 35's on a 92-94 full size Blazer without spending $1000+ on a lift kit? Maybe a 3" body lift and a Skyjacker 2.5" suspension lift. Thats 5.5 inches, so maybe a little trimming? I have some almost new 35" BFG mud tires and would like to use them. I am wanting to replace my 73 K20 with a newer fullsize Blazer with fuel injection. And the IFS rigs ride sooooo much better than the solid axle with lift.

I saw a chart somewhere on 4wheelparts.com that showed vehicles and how much lift was needed to fit each tire size, or how much lift + trimming. For the 92-94 fullsize Blazer you can look at the Silverado if they dont list Blazer.

Those are always too conservative. For instance they say you need 6" lift to clear 35's on a solid axle full size Chevy and Ive run 35's on 2 K5 Blazers and a K20 with 4" and have had no problems. Even when wheeling.
Anyways I'll try a 3" body lift and maybe crank the torsion bars 1" then out with the sawzall and hammer.

Yeah its easily possible. esepecially with bfg since those are a little smaller than what the size reads. but really you should sell your tires to me since I'm looking to do the same thing. I have a 4" lift and 33"s look way small. My friend has i think a 4" and hes got swampers on his, they rub tho. But only on the right side of the fender closest to the back and his tires have bent that back enough its not even an issue now
