Stats on this Blazer

Sorry I know this is the truck forum but the blazer forum doesn't get much traffic. 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

I'd almost lean towards a 10" lift, that thing is up there a ways.

Re: Stats on this Blazer

definitely at least an 8" lift, 38"-40" tires
my crew has 8" with 38.5's.
no matter what that size is, be prepared to spend big bucks to get that hi.

the way those tires are stuffed, they have to be 38's. 36's would look small on there with a 8" lift-like the last pic in the link you posted
either way that is a nice blaze.

Re: Stats on this Blazer

Just remember the bigger the lift the more money you will spend total.Over a 37 inch tire you kinda need 1 ton axles aka dana 60 and 14 bolt.
