What size wheels is he running? Also is he planning on trimming his fenders? 37" will rub the fenders with 6" lift.

How will he use the k5 also?37s on the stock axles rock crawling things are gonna break.If its more a mud truck/ daily driver they should be ok.And he should re gear the axles to match the tires.

Re: 88 K5 Blazer 4x4 wheels/lift
18" wheels should clear the brakes. So he can run what ever back spacing he wants. It all comes down to looks at that point. He knows with 37s he should expect to break stuff often. 1/2 axles handle up to 35" tires.
