I did it again - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

spent more money that is. I first decided not to lift the Blazer and just run a set of 33" tires. I changed my mind and called discount tire and had my order changed to 35's and will be ordering a 4" lift this weekend. Oh well its just money right? someone tell me they would have done the same thing.

I would have done the same thing.

(and felt guilty later)

I am having second thoughts about dropping my truck, since I really only needed balljoints. But since I had it apart, I might as well install spindles, springs, etc.....

phantom dually · 03-29-2004, 08:12 PM

I was thinking about 35s today at the tire store. I have 33 12.50s now but want a 35 10.50.

Jonboy · 03-29-2004, 08:36 PM

Yeah, I would have done it, too. Or maybe 6" and 38's.

Tom · 03-29-2004, 09:21 PM

Id do it if I ever bought a 4wd....which probably wont ever happen

Kybol · 03-30-2004, 12:23 AM

I wouldn't of, I woulda put some 49's and be done with her.

The Dude · 03-30-2004, 12:28 AM

i have done things like that many times, 6in on 35's, then to 36's changed my mind to 8in on 36's then 37's but finally went with the 10in on 38's. should have went with the 12in, o well. next is.....well who knows? those 49's do look tempting tho.

i would go with a 6in lift and 35's, instead of the 4in. i think it just looks better imo.

Don't regret dude, it's only money. You will make more soon. Hey we all get carried away sometimes....

Adam,
On my good friend's old 85 Blazer, he had 4" Lift with 35's aswell. Looked PERFECT!

Blue Beard · 03-30-2004, 09:29 AM

If someone says they haven't done it, they're probably lieing....

I ordered bfg A/T 35-12.5 and but I wont order the lift til this weekend. I have been lookin online and the cheapest place I have found is suspension connection . I was looking at the rough country lifts on ebay but I have heard they ride real stiff. I am not sure what I am going to do yet.
