im about to get the PA 2"Body lift
and the 2" shackles
i have the t-bars cranked 1.5"
i was wondering after all of that can i fit the new
Wrangler Authority 31X10.50R15LTC 109Q
on them without rubbing issues on road and some muddin!
i still have the stock gmc rims from 96
or if not im also looking into the crager soft 8's.
thanks for the help guy's!

as long as the lug pattern is 5 x 4.75 you should fit. As for rubbing Issues... you may need to trim some fender. 3.75 backspacing is 2.25 less than you have now, & the rim is wider....
that will be your only drawback wheel wise. everything else has worked for others here. your lift : tire ratio seems to work for others. Just watch the back spacing. as a rule, the closer you get to 6" the better. It is hard to find that high of BS for aftermarket rims though....

yes i have those Eagle Alloys 118 rims on it now with 235x75rx15's and had to crank the t-bar to stop rubbing. as you can see by the pic below!

31's aren't going to fit without MAJOR rework of the fender/firewall. Even with stock rims, 31's just do not fit (unless you find special 31's that are 29" diameter like another member).

With the back spacing being that low, you are going to run into even more interference.

even with the 2" body lift and 2" shackles and the t-bar crank? i just got back from the zr2 forum and they have a few just like mine with that setup and it def works on a stock rim!

Your truck is not a ZR2 though. This has been gone over 'ad nauseam' in this section.

i kno that but as i have stated the setup i saw over there is a NON ZR-2 its just like mine they say it will only rub on Full Lock! with stock 96 rims with 6" bs

well Justin from synergy offroad just answered my question if i use stock i can!
Hey Cory,
You sure can! I did this very combination on a 2dr 1997 blazer awhile back.

Thanks!

my money is still on the trim job....
Just stay open to the idea of clipping some fender is all.... it beats the hell out of buying new front tires...

ya i have no problem doing a little trim hear and there!
