There is currently a 4" lift on the blazer and the 33's have plenty of room so I figured I could sneak 35's under it.....is that is too much tire for a 4" lift?


What about that new Holley carburetor? Anyone tried it yet?

Fuel injection is an expensive mod.....throttle body injection is iffy according to my mechanic buddy.....so I'm still trying to figure that one out.

Okay...no offense intended but all the questions your asking have been addressed and answered somewhere throughout this board, keep using the search function, try using different 'wording' parameters too, it'll result in even more threads for your viewing pleasure.

The quarters unbolt completely aside from there being a small weld between the rear inner bed pillar and the bed floor, plus some spot welds in the lower B-pillar area.

As for the 4" lift, no there's not enough room to have stock fenders/quarters with 35" tires and trying to wheel it.
You'll end up tearing sheet metal.
Trimming is an option to some.
Of course if you have a very stiff suspension, no worries, it won't flex enough to matter but if it's flexy, at some point you'll have contact.

Why is throttle body injection "iffy"?
It's readily available, easy to find parts for and when installed correctly works great.
Best bang for the buck for a poor mans mod IMO.

A winch is a great thing to have, just beware of your approach angle when installing that new bumper to hold it.
