I know it will stiffen up your ride some. Any thing like that will since your adding another leaf to the spring pack. Not sure how much it will stiffen it though. I think you'll need at least 2.5" to clear 33's without rubbing. Of course I have heard of people running 33's and no lift.

my '79 K10 parts truck has 33 12.50s on it, and 8" rims. it has no lift, and i see no evidence of any rubbing on the front tires at all.

I am pretty sure I can run 33's without them rubbing but I would like to get a 10" rim. I think it might make the truck look a little tougher too.

I had a 4" ready for it but the blazer wont fit in the garage at work with that much lift.
