Need roof height measurement for lifted Blazer
I want to lift my Jimmy either 2.5" with 33's or 4" with 35's, but before I plan/buy the parts I need to know the roof heights with this setup because I plan on parking this in my garage.
I would really appreciate it if you lifted guys with your setup could give me an accurate roof height please. Pics would be a bonus and lift brand tire/wheel size with offset and width would be even better.

Re: Need roof height measurement for lifted Blazer
Stock height for a 4wd blazer is 72 inches. This was for 1979 model. the stock tires were p215/75r-15 which are normally about 28 inches in diameter which would put the center of the axle at about 13 inches (don't correct my math, measure it and realize the tire flattens on the side touching the ground). Therefore in a perfect world a 2.5 with 33's would raise the height about 5 inches or 77 overall and the 4" with 35 about 8 inches or 80 overall

Re: Need roof height measurement for lifted Blazer
do you guys think I should even lift it?.....this is obviously a street queen so could I run like 32x11.50 on 15x8's?
Part of me wants to lift this, other part says leave stock with just bigger/better tires
