2" for a K5, 4" for an S10. Just don't know if you have a K and posted in the correct section or an S and posted in the wrong section...lol

K5-

4" Lift will accomodate 33" o 35" 's
6" Lift will accomodate 35" to 37" 's

You can stuff all kinds of rubber under the wheel well, but if you off-road you need to think about the axles articulating and scrubbing, and then whipping out the saw-zaw to cut fenders. You can limit the amount of wheel travel for off roading if you use all your increased clearance for rubber.

I have a 4" lift with 33" Mudders and have no probs what so ever. If you want to see the results My truck's photos are on the members gallery under my member name GaDawg0513, album name- Jeff's K5.

Feel free to contact me with any K5 Questions.

I'd say the 4" lift would be a safe way of stuffing some 33s in there without rubbing or having to cut the fender wells..

I installed a 6" and have 35x16x16 Super Swampers, I did need to trim the bottom edge of the front bumper and the rear edge of the wheel well. You can't really notice the fender cut because I had factory wheel flares and I cut them in a way that let me glue them back together after the cut.
