A 2.5 in. might fit them with a little bit of valence rub, key word might. A 305/70 is a tall tire. Something like 33-34" IIRC.

yes they are 33.8 its the only size maxxis buckshot mudders make for 17in

 

can i get some tire suggestions. i want some 33s that arent super expensive. and are aggresive. that will fit for 17s on a 2-3in lift. no more

If your only going to install a leveling kit I would say no. They might "fit" but it won't be a good fit. They will probably rub alot. Especially considering they are on aftermarket wheels. I know every truck is different but I know of multiple people that have 285/70/17 mud tires on AFTERMARKET wheels along with their T-bars cranked and there is rubbing. Mostly just in reverse at full lock. I would say your best bet is to stick with a 285 unless you want to do alot of trimming...just my .02

your truck is going to ride like a dump truck with the torsion bars cranked up 2.5".

 

keep it under 2" and go with 285/70/17s. Or throw on a 2" body lift on top of 1.5-2" crank (leveling kit) to run the 305s.... thatd be a good combo

I ran 305/55/20's on my 03 1500 HD with aftermarket 20x9's. With a 2" crank and some "fender massaging" I ran them fairly comfortably but they still rubbed every now and then. Keep in mind the HD's sit 2-3 inches higher than the standard half ton.

Matt nailed it. Cranking your t-bars that high is not a good idea. Quality leveling kit and 285's are your best bet. If you want bigger tires than that just do a BL or full suspension lift.

    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
