Please post some pics of stock suspension 81-91's with 33's. I'm trying to show my dad what it looks like. Thanks, Bradley

Re: Stock suspension w/ 33's please!

Ok,I never lifted my '90 Blazer...so to speak. But I did take a $200 trip to the spring shop to have them arch and add a leaf to level up what I felt was a nose-down stance from the factory. I have a picture of it in true factory form,except with 11.50/32s on it and a picture with what is from 1" to 2" over stock in front with 12.50/33s on 10" wheels. It didn't require different shocks or any other steering adjustments. Just leveled it up which gave clearance to the next size up tire with 2" wider wheels I was putting on.

Stock suspension and wheels (rallyes) with 11.50/32s:


1-2" up on spring work on front with 12.50/33s on 10" wheels (the only one I could find):

I can't say,myself. I can say I had to be careful with the 10" wheels and the stiffer 1-2" higher front end. Never damaged anything but did hear it rub a time or two.
