Yeah they'll fit but you will prolly have to do some minor trimming.

ok good. How much should I trim off and how should I go about do that? Your blazer looks bad ass. What kind of suspension lift did you get?

You'll just have to turn your wheel until it rubs and then sord of judge from there how much you trim. Then when you trim it make sure you can turn your wheel full without rubbing. Keep in mind you'll want to trim a little more for suspension compression.
I also have a 2" rough country suspension lift. I also did a 2" body lift and currently have 32x11.5 tires on it. Still had to do some trimming for that but I also have a 4" backspace on my wheels. But if your instaling the kit yourself, don't be afraid to pm me with questions or what not.

Ok. What should i use to cut the body? Im putting the lift on myself so i might have a few questions when I get it. Do the bushings come pressed into the control arms already or do i need to get them pressed in?

For trimming I used an angle grinder with a metal cutoff wheel. You have to put the bushings in yourself but they're easy. You might have to use a rubber malet to get the metal sleeve in the bushings.

Make sure you take pics of your install. BTW I love the wheels, they look great on your truck.

Thanks.I got a great deal for them.I only paid $270 for the set.I will definitely take pics of the install. I wish I could afford to get a lift as big as yours. It looks great!

Thanks for the tips.How hard is it to do the torsion keys and where can I get the puller tool?
What kind of tires would you recommend getting? I dont do too much off roading but I want a tire that does good off road and is going to last me longer than these BFG.

The actual job of taking the old torsion keys off and putting the new ones on is easy. Its pretty much finding the loading tool thats the problem. I went to the normal car parts store to try and rent it (Autozone, Checkers, etc.) and nobody had one. The only place I could find that had one was CarQuest and it was only for sale and they want $120 for it. Luckily my step-dad is a machinist and he was able to make me one for $12, haha.
So I don't really have any other idea on where to get one, for rent anyways, cause your only going to need it for like a 1/2 hour.

Yeah I will post pics of it as soon as I get it. It is taking forever, I order it monday and I called today and they are not shipping it untill next wednesday b/c they didnt have the right shocks.

I dont have the tools to make one or the money to buy one. Im going to check the local shops for one first and if that doesnt work I'm going to have them installed when I get an alignment after its on.

I believe you can unload the torsion bars with a good c-clamp and if you are very very careful can unload them without a tool.... but the safest route is to get the right tool

Sure you could use a c-clamp for unloading but I wouldn't dare load the new keys with it though. Way to much tension giong on. I was even scared loading the new keys with the beefy loader tool I made.

How long has it been since youve had an alignment?
Just looking through your gallery, your tires already look shot.
