Blazer front ends can handle 33s just fine. :)

yea for mild offroading and mall crawling. however if you offroad a lot and do it pretty hard it will start to eat your ball joints cv's ect. im just waitin to do a solid axle swa and put some 35's or 37's under mine. the front end on any ifs rig is not really built to handle big tires in offroad conditions

As long as you know your limits IFS is fine. Mine has held up fine over the years and you can ask anyone thats been out with me, that I have a heavy foot. That being said IFS is not going to be good at rockcrawling or anything of that nature, so as long as you steer clear from that I think IFS deos just fine. Most of the people I see that do a SAS are playing on rocks. Now im not saying all of them, just that most do and IFS will not handle that well.
