What tires and shocks do you run on stock suspension - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am thinking on getting smaller tires for my blazer. My bfg's are a little to wide. They rub a little when I turn and it is getting annoying. The tires are LT325/60R15's on rallies. They are old and getting really cracked but they still hold air

I need some new shocks also. Recommendations and pics are appreciated

Did you say smaller tires......never heard of such a thing?!?!?!

My Blazer is stock and I have 31 X 10.5's on it and they are fine. I've been considering looking for a set of 33 x 10.5's to throw on it.

Well I might just need narrower tires. 12" wide tires looks good but gets annoying when all I hear is groaning when I turn!

Ya, that's good to know...if I do go bigger I won't go wider.

I was just checking out your pics. The wide tires do look good. I'm also debating whether I should tint my windows, but I wasn't sure how it would look on a stock truck (there wasn't much tinting happening back in '72). Do you like the look of your truck with the tinted windows?

Yes I like the tint. I'm not sure what the percent is since it was installed when we bought the Blazer. It needs redone along with almost everything else on the truck!
