Tires and Wheels

          This page will serve to give you information concering Tire Selection,
          Sizes that should fit under what lift, and back-space information.


Tire Fitment For Lifted Trucks:

          Vehicle:  '73-87 1 / 2 Ton Pickup (-91 Blazer)

          Lift:  6-Inch Trail Master Lift

          Tire Size:  35x12.5-15

          Wheel Size:  15x10

          Backspacing: 3 5/8 Inches


          Will Wheel Width Affect Clearance:
	     The 8-, 10-, and 12-inch wheels will fit with this size
	     Tire with no problems, but we suggest running 8- or
	     10-inchers because they look and work best.

          Will Changing Backspacing Affect Tire Fitment:
	     No, but too much may cause interference with the 
	     steering components.

          Notes:
	     A raised steering arm or dropped drag link should be
	     Installed to equalize left and right steering redii.
