Default Already looking to upgrade

Okay so I have a 2001 Blazer ZR2 and I just put on a set of 30x10.5 Super Swamper TSL Radials on Rock Crawler Rims with 3.75" of backspacing. I had to take off the front fender guard in order for them to fit.

My plan is doing a 2.35" shackle lift in the rear, and a 1.5" T-bar Crank up front.

I'm looking to upgrade to larger tires and keep these rims once I have the money to spend on them. I'm going to stick with a narrower tire (10.5) but I want to see how big I can go.. Possibly 33's? And If not 32's?

Thanks for your input. Here are some pictures to get an idea of my current set up.

With 2' of lift you should be able to run 33x10.50s. Youll have issues with the flares on the front wheels though. You need a matching spare though

Yeah I might take off the spare all together lol And I hope I'll be able to run 33x10.5s I'd be pumped

I hope you like to replace front end parts. That backspacing will kill your front end.

Other than that, I've got a ZR2 with a 2' BL, 2' shackles and about 1' tbar crank. Even with stock rims and 33X10.5 I have had to trim front and rear. Once I put on my 33X12.5 MTs with 15X8 rims I'll be doing more trimming I'm sure.
