Trimming 96 blazer front fenders - 3/8/2008 6:49:33 PM    jester429   Posts: 4 Joined: 3/8/2008 Status: offline Well everyone is saying trim your fenders for larger clearance but when i look at my blazer all i see at the rear of the fender well is the floor boards.   Does this also need to be modified to complete this task?  I'm installing a 2 inch body lift next weekend and looking other options as well to fit 35's  any info would be appreciated.  thanks _____________________________ 1996 S-10 Blazer 4.7L V6 STOCK IT'S ALL STOCK....im sorry...

Unless you're trying to fit 35's with just a 2" body lift Seriously, you won't have any fenders left if you're trying to shoehorn 35's under a stock suspension Blazer with a 2" BL.  Even one of our members with a ZR2 to start (3" higher than non-Z's) is only running 33's with waaaaay more than a BL. Here's a member who's trimming to fit 31's. Here's a VERY informative thread on what tires will fit with which lifts and any extra necessary steps. Oh, and welcome to the forum.  Got any pics of your truck? _____________________________ (in reply to jester429) Post #: 2
