What are your plans? What sort of wheeling do you plan on?

Great to have someone else on board!

Some advise- pick and choose your tires first. Then build your rig around that. Thats just my .02, happy modding!

Define 'accessories'. Check out our vendors on this site for any of your needs, its always good to support someone who is supporting you.

Anything else you can basically just Google.

Check out the Wheels/Tires section (viewforum.php?f=14). There's a few threads right at the top that you should peruse.

If you have ANY questions feel free to ask, I am new to the Trailblazer scene myself but not to 4x4 or anything like that. So it sounds like we maybe modding our Tb's at the same time. lol, check out vendor forum you can find just about anything you need there for our trucks and it's usually made by the people belonging to this forum.

Welcome to the site.

I'd suggest if your going to spend that amount you might as well spend slightly more and purchase Mark's Liftmeister 2.5" lift. If you decide to upgrde further later, you can reuse part of his lift and combine it with another option to max out your lift.
