What are the minimum required modifications for 40" tires on an 81 blazer? The intended wheel and tire is the M35A type to help with thorns. This is an offroad only truck, utility/farm use. No rock climbing or high speeds needed.

That, 4 adapter plates, and 2 high ratio gears sets may be the answer.

6" springs lift all around, don't do a body lift. I'm not going to recommend the shackle flip because IIRC it's not good for load hauling vs standard shackle design.

***You MAY have to still do some moderate fender trimming.

Tried the search, apparently " is an illegal character.
I guess a link would be entire too helpful.

Apparently you want to be spoon fed, look at the fawking builds, you have been here long enough to know to search, there is a build thread list at the top of the page that I put togather for people like you that ask dumb fawking questions!

If you need to know how much lift to fit 40 tires then you dont need to even modify your truck.

I am running 4" springs and a 3" body to clear my 40's. I am not a fan of body lifts, but used one on my truck to help with floor clearence when I built my shortbed crewcab.

Your question has been covered since the dawn of 4wd. You didn't read the Faq and you didn't specify what you were willing to do to fit those tires.

Maybe throw some better details in and get a better answer.

Better yet try the newb section. Then come back when you have a pair of balls.

Written in bold on my link, This is a hardcore tech forum!

And why the hell do you need 40s for a farm truck? You will render it useless. Especially for pulling anything. Unless your farming is driving around and watching people work, then still useless.
