lift kit and tire help
 
hi I have a 2001 s10 blazer and would like to put 33x12.50s on it what would be the appropriate suspension lift kit to fit that size tire so the tires wont rub and so that the truck will look good and proportionate.

Minimum 6" lift.

Have a look at the stickied posts in this section and the lifting tech section.

If you going for looks and plan on keeping it on the road you would probably be fine with 6in. If you take it off road you will need more. I have roughly 9in and while on the trail the tire will rub the back of the front fender under full compression.

ok thanks guys! yes i do plan on taking it off road hunting, camping, trail riding, all that good stuff. so i guess a 6in suspension with 2 to 3 in body lift would do me good? but with that kind of lift would i need to adjust steering column and break line? and would it be a fairly easy project to do myself?

the 6in superlift kit will include brake line extension along with everything else you need. While doing it i would recommend replacing the ball joints, tie rod ends, pitman and idler arms if they havent been done. Since all of that will be out while lifting it.
