Roadhog not sure about burbs vs blazers but my 38" tires needed every bit of 9" lift to clear. 6" susp.+3" body

Looks great. You will be happy you did that and didn't go to the 36" bias tire. I ran them for awhile on the Jimmy but they rode like crap. I have 35" BFG AT's in 16.5 now and they ride nice but don't look near as cool.

My 36's will live on though. Will put on my '86 K30 dually paired up in the rear and single in the front.

Looks awesome, in case your interested, my lift settled over the first year and lost a few inches of height, however, the starting height, when i first installed it seemed way taller than an 8" lift should be.
