Hello All!
My name is Jorge, and i guess i never signed up here before. until now. i am a member of trailvoy user name Jorge86.
i have a 2005 Trailblazer. i actually purchased my lift kit from MarkMC when he first made 6 kits to test out.
so my current mods on my TB are: 2.5 lift From Mark. 1.5" wheel spacers from Mark. Kuhmo 265/75R16. Rear tahoe Z71 springs. Flipped Upper control arm. K&N intake. PCMforless electric fan kit. HID lights. LED interior lights. changed front carrier assembly to 3.73. And i am going to swap the rear axle this upcoming weekend to a 3.73 with G80 locker.
i think thats all the mods i have at the moment. ill keep adding if i remember. but ive had the TB for about 4 years now.
great little truck.
Thank you ALL.
Especially the people that gather up all this great info about these vehicles!!

welcome, why go through the trouble to re-gear the front only to go to a 3.73?

i did think about it, but i couldn't find a good deal. and since i do use it on the daily i would be using up a bit more gas.
i forgot where i saw a chart about tire size and gear ration with fuel economy.
