Default Going on Up!

I have an '02 Blazer 4WD 4Dr with 2 in. shackles and T-bar crank. I am looking at getting a 3in body lift and getting bigger tires (32-33"). I have the soft 8's. Does anyone know of any problems I might run into? or have any opinions on which body lift? Will that be too goofy looking?

32-33s wont fit with what you want. it looks great, but it wont fit...at least, not for any sort of offroad use. mall crawling, you might be able to make 33x10.50s fit with alot of cutting.

You might get 31s. But with the backspacing on the soft 8s, the tire sticks out alot farther. I have a 2' body lift, 2' shackles/tbar, and Ive cut back the fender a bit. All this with 30x10.50s, and I still rub offroad. The extra inch for the body lift could help a great deal...but I still dont see you running anything wider than a 10.50.

i would just go with the 31s and a 2 in body lift. you might get away with 32s but your going to have to do some triming and like wolfpack said, off-roading isn't going to be fun. but, lol, i am going to try and fit 32s under my truck.
