hahahaha!! What t-bars are you cranking?? I don't think you got any lift out of it whatever you cranked!
I wish the 2wds had t-bar suspensions. I could lower it without springs.

Brent, he was asking if he were to do that, not that he has already. Sounded like ya might have got that confused. Anyways on a factory 2wd blazer you should be able to get 30x9.5 r15's on there with no rubbing on the stock suspension. If you want a little bigger tires or just more clearance, fabtech makes a lift spindle that i believe replaces the front knuckles and gets you about 2-3" of lift.

Sorry, I'm a dumb ***!! Overlooked the "if". So easy to do when you don't have your reading glasses on.

Guys, I know the words you posted are not considered bad cuss words by most people... but IMO swearing is swearing no matter how you look at it... try to keep it as family oriented as possible.....
Thanks,
Aaron
