What is the biggest lift and tires combination i can do without modifying the vehicle. I have an 88 fullsize blazer auto 4x4 v8 i have 33's on it now with now lift. /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/hack.gif <font color="blue"> </font>
 
Not sure I get the question. A lift is modifying the vehicle. It also depends on what type of wheeling you do. I say to avoid most of the rubbing go for 35's on a 6" lift. Just watch if you flex it. I am a fan of a 4" lift with 40's but that is just me.
 
I am gathering that you want to know how big of a tire you can run on a stock heigth K5. Right? /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif 33x12.50 is about it.
 
Can i run a 6 inch lift with 35's without driveshaft problems or any driveline probs. Thanx again for the help. /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif /forums/images/graemlins/hack.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grind.gif

with 6" lift you will need to get longer driveshaft's

His is an 88 and is identical to my 85( I have a 241 though) and my stock drivelines worked fine with my 6" kit. The only reason why I finally had shafts built was because the rest of my drivetrain was in good shape and that rear shaft with the 1310's was the weak link. Plus I wanted a cool 4" shaft. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif I'm running the stock shaft up front but it's lengthened and rebuilt.
