26" Rims

I always liked how Shaq was a good sport about SNL making fun of him.

I wish I had pics of my ‘78 blazer. I had 15x16 fronts and 15x18 rears with 44” super swampers. It also had a 9” suspension lift and 3” body lift.
 
Im in the minority. I recently installed a set of 26's on my 2019 Limited and previously had a 2014 Limited with 26's.

The problem is they don't make any decent 26" tires anymore. The only brands are cheap/generic, which is nice for the cost factor, but they don't ride as good or last as long as a more high end tire like a nitto/pirelli/etc.

The ride is subtly different. If you are on a nice smooth road I think it rides better than stock, if you are on a rough road you will feel it more than stock. Sharp bumps and potholes will feel much more firm, but its never been a big issue. Certainly not annoying or rough enough to consider swapping them out.

You do need a strong wheel, mine are forged 2 piece wheels so I feel comfortable they can handle the load of the truck and wont collapse if you hit a pot hole.

Good luck!

Think he said his truck has 18” of lift.

4.5 mpg on a good day with the 454.😲

Haha, mine was two tone just like that, but with pearl white on top and teal on the bottom, plus full teal interior. I blew the 350, so I was in the process of building a 383 for it when I got rid of it. I kind of wish I kept it since it was so outlandish. I also wish I could find the pics, but I didn’t even own a digital camera when I owned the blazer.

The mpg’s of those makes me question why I am so disgruntled about the TRX’s mpg.

That’s a good amount of rubber, I like that much more than shaq’s setup. What size lift did you put on to be able to have a ~36 inch tall tire?
 
Looks like he is running 315/40/26. That looks great on the truck, but I assume it required a lift, which I wanted to avoid. Mine are 305/30/26 which are about 3" shorter overall.

I like being able to ride around in entry/exit mode with no major clearance issues.
