A 3 foot lift .. HOLY! ;-) I'm gussing you ment 3" anyway on a 97 you should be able to fit 32x11.50x15. If you have 15x7 wheels will work for you.

I used to have a 97 2wd till I got the 01 QC I had a three inch fabtech suspension lift and a three inch body lift, which would clear 33X12.50s and that rubbed a little bit so I'm not so sure that the 32s will fit since you will have 3 less inches of lift then I did.

CadetDak, did you have any problems with steering or alignment problems with your lift? I might get one for my 2001 2wd QC and I want to make sure there are no additional problems.

no I didn't encounter any steering problems. But lkeep in mind you do have to buy new rims for the lift. The stock rims from what I was told will cause problems due to the beefer ends on the new a-arms that come in the kit. If fact I'm dissapointed that Fabtech doesn't make one for my 4x4 QC I was extremly happy with the fabtech lift. But like I said if you get the body lift as well and decide to mount 33s you'll have to do a little trimming of the fender well, nothing that is seen just trimmed a little on the inside.
