6" and 35x12.50's looks like to me.

*71 Blazer CST man* · 07-17-2004, 08:42 PM

nawww 35s' you think really?

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-17-2004, 08:44 PM

I'LL SAY 8" AND 35 X 12.50'S OR 6" AND 33 X 12.50'S ONLY BECAUSE OF THE
TIRE GAP, I'M SURE I COULD BE WRONG ON EITHER ONE OF THEM

vtblazer · 07-17-2004, 09:01 PM

Looks like only a 4" lift w/32.5's to me. Maybe only 31's even.

*71 Blazer CST man* · 07-17-2004, 09:10 PM

Yea, i'm going with VTBlazer, thanks guys. I want a 3-4" lift with 32-33"s, something very much like that.... so when i heard 35"s...heh.

vtblazer · 07-17-2004, 09:17 PM

My 2 cents...
If your wanting an all around truck, good stance, good ride...a 4" lift with some nice 33's can't be beat.
Throw on some 10" alloy's and be drivin'

Here's an example

Pont · 07-17-2004, 09:24 PM

Yeh, I think vtblazer nailed it. Definitely not a 6" or 8" lift on that Blazer. I'm running an 8" and I don't think that Blazer exactly stacks up, ya know what I mean?

vtblazer · 07-17-2004, 09:50 PM

Pont, sweet truck

Pont · 07-17-2004, 11:08 PM

Thanks vt

bouncytruck · 07-17-2004, 11:30 PM

I'm with VT as well. My '69 has a 6" and 35s and it is a lot bigger than that. My '72 has a 4" and stock tires and it looks closer to that.

72blazercst · 07-19-2004, 10:46 PM

look at the picture of the front axle it dosnt look like a lifted spring under there , and he dosnt have orig counsol in there he has cup holders

That is definitely a lift spring on the front. Stock front springs bend down, not up (negative arch). The console is not original - it is either aftermarket or from a newer truck.

*71 Blazer CST man* · 07-20-2004, 07:07 AM

Yea, i'm for sure in need of ones bending UP

Edit: Note my busted rivit on my hood hinge, held by a loose nut&bolt

what a slacker i am

But hey atleast i took care of my MINOR rust properly

Grim Reaper · 07-20-2004, 02:58 PM

That's 33's at best. probably a new 4 inch lift that hasn't settled in yet.

This is BFG 35 inch KM's on a 15x10 rim. Truck is wrong body style but it's 3.75 inches over stock in the front an 5.5 rear and the fenders are hogged out.

meathead95 · 07-20-2004, 03:14 PM

i would say it is a 4" lift with 31's

*71 Blazer CST man* · 07-20-2004, 04:13 PM

I'v got 31s and i think they look closer to them then 33"s. So can this thing flex, or what? Do the smaller tires give it more room to twist up?

swampbuck · 07-20-2004, 07:29 PM

Here Is my 69 with a 4 inch skyjacker lift with 33 well worn inch tires. Barely fits under a 7ft door.
