Stats on this blazer
This is the stance I'm going for. I'm new to the lifting side of things I've always lowered everything I've had. How much lift and what size tires do y'all think this is? I'm also considering painting similar to this as well. Silver and blue instead of white and blue.

Re: Stats on this blazer
Looks really high....maybe 8" or 10" lift?!
Tires are probably 38" or 40" A lot of modifications are going to happen to make it drivable at that height. Driveline issues Steering Issues etc.

Re: Stats on this blazer
in looking id vote those are 36 inch tires or there about. so 6 to 8 inches of lift id say. ( you have to clear or cut the front fenders if you want to be able to turn) but now your looking at longer drive shafts, longer brake lines. driveline angles ( should be corrected in the lift kit). make sure the kit makes your draglink flat or bump steer becomes ugly. front end alignment, caster needs to be correct or death wobble ensues. ( think the ****ty shopping cart wheel wobbling as u push the cart... only this is your steer axle) the trans wont like the bigger tires, gear changes in both differentials. ( it might be drivable, but the ratios wont be fun.) the speedo will have to be corrected. ok i'm done being Mr. sunshine... but i've lifted a few rigs and know most of the normal headaches that come along with it. some trucks are easier then others. suspension lifts are good, there are some brands that are better then others. use also dictates what brands as some flex for trail use more then others... boulevard cruisers don't need flex, but then the log truck ride is not fun. multiple shocks are swell if your jumping, if not they are just expensive and ride for ****. steering stabilizers help, but the big rubber is still going to wobble n wander down the road... I can go on but ive rambled enough.
