My gf just put 33's on her Jeep YJ and she needed a 4" lift to do it...I'd imagine you'd need the same for the Blazer

Your shop is correct.
Jeep and Blazers are made differently.

yep your gonna need atleast a 5" trailmaster lift and stock offset rims to clear 33's you also may need a 2"bl too if i remember correctly . The s series wheel wells are so small compared to most trucks . oh , and you will most likely need a new front drive shaft if you have Autotrac 4wd .

Currently waiting on Custom Fender Cutouts so I can run a 31" tire with no lift . Then maybe a 2"BL and Tbar/Shackles to run a 32" tire .
