Do you have any pictures of your ride?Yeah im 18 so rolling around on dubs is my style and if i cant then the next best thing would be 18s.
...I might run 20s out back and 18s up front.

UMMM may i ask why????Im more into 4 wheeling and that suburban is just trash when it comes to 4wheeling.First off having an IFS front suspension,weak engine,weak 12 bolt rear end wouldnt do its justice off road.Its more of a show truck and u cant run anything over 35s unless u plan on breaking down in the middle of nowhere.
On the other hand,the excursion has a 1 ton rear end and there is no other option,ours has the 7.3 Diesel which gets 19MPG with 37" tires.And the front isnt the wimpy IFS,its a solid axle dana 50.Yeah you can say chevy is better than ford and vice versa.Kinda pointless if you ask me because we all have different taste.IM A DIE HARD FORD TRUCK FAN but ill admit that CHEVY HOLDS IT DOWN FOR THE HOTRODS/SPEED

i didnt knock the excusion, i mean in my opinion for wheelin both trucks have too long of a wheelbase...i do a fair amount of 4 wheeling...
i just think lifted suburbans are one of the sickest looking things, i drive a 99 suburban and i wanna lift it so bad, but its my mom and she would get so pissed
i have a 72 blazer full convert with 6 point roll cage, a motor that ran 11's in a 79 camaro 4 inch suspension lift, 2 inch block lift which came with the truck..i wouldnt have done it
it has full ton , full floter..axles with 4.56's...(thats a 14 b0lt rear) 3 speed manual with the granny gear for getting over pretty much anything....im also running 35 inch swampers
and before that i had a 81 blazer than had 4.11s with quarter ton axles and the same engine tranny that i have in the 72, with a 4 inch lift and 35's it had no problem with anything either...
and for the record i think that 18's in the rear 17's in the front look sick on our cars

As for the blazers u own,i dont think any 1/2 ton will break unless under heavy load with 35s...Theres not that much stress on the drivetrain compared to 38s on up
