lift question

[SierraClassic]

Right now I've got 31x10.5's on my 1988 Jimmy, but I wanna move up to 35's. What is the best way to fit them without trimming the fenders. I'm not looking for a lot of flex since this will be my DD and the tires will only be an insurance policy.

4" lift and no major mods for the blazer.

if off road just watch the back of the front fenders.

On road only, 4" lift and 35's works well. If you REALLY want to make sure they never hit you can go with a 6" lift.

but more than 4" on blazer = def mods or replace drive shafts for lift and vib problems.

search this in the garage. lots of guys with vib's in truck after lift of more than 4" . but some with 4" . each vehicle is diffrent for some reason.

gotta think on gear ratio too and how it's going to effect the drivability.....probably want to stay with an 8" rim with 4" lift also

8 inch rim would be good idea, I had a 4 inch lift with 35's on 10 inch rims and had to trim due to rubbing at full lock on a 1990 Jimmy.
