Also on fleabay I bought a new in box Smaxx 1.75" for the front, $60 shipped. I don't think I've done too bad so far. Now I'm just debating on rear shocks..BDS, Skyjackers, or Bilstein's.My mission is pretty simple, nice solid trailblazer with some off road fun. I am waiting to do my lift till I have everything. I want to upgrade my rear diff with a 14 bolt and regear up front, though I'm kinda torn after reading all the horror stories on swapping front diffs... I've taken the recommendations of this site to make sure I change all fluids and maint first.
We've had the trailblazer for about 4 years. I started out with my 03 F150 6" lift and 33's. I have been a pipefitter for the last 14 years and drove this truck back and forth to the east coast for about two years.. needless to say that didn't work out to well with gas prices, so I traded for a 06 Impala SS. Absolutely loved this car. But with my never satisfied attitude I traded yet again for a 07 1500. Honestly I wasn't too impressed with this truck. I has all kinds of problems in just 8 months that I owned the truck. Sooo when the wife got knocked up I bought her the Trailblazer. She drove it for about 2 years, after an afternoon of taking out the front seats just to get all the garbage out and cleaning squeezes out of the back seat I decided to get her a van. That leaves me with the trailblazer to "play" with as I have a company truck and this is our 3rd vehicle.
I only live about 10 miles from Bundy Hill near Jerome Mi. When I had my wrangler we used to go and spend the day there. I am looking forward to building my trailblazer and having fun there once again.
