Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

Trailblazer and Envoy related, but not off-road related...

Hey guys, I'm asking here to see if anyone knows where I could find any front struts that are designed for lift kits for a 2007 TB. Me and my dad were trying to install them yesterday and we weren't able to compress it enough for the spacer to slide in. So please help!!!!

Thanks, :flex dirty:

Just take them to a shop and ask them to do it for you.

Not all spring compressors are created equal, but all trailblazer springs can be compressed enough to have a lift installed. Do you have a picture of what you were doing? We might be able to point out your error.

I see a lot of requests from other users to check VIN codes, but now it's all in the public domain.
By the way, if you need a good driving school, then I can recommend you https://coreway.nyc/articles/how-to-stu ... ermit-test.

Hey there! It sounds like you're having some trouble finding front struts for a lift kit for your 2007 TB. One option you could consider is contacting the manufacturer of the lift kit directly and asking for their recommendation. They may be able to point you in the direction of struts that are specifically designed for their lift kit.

Alternatively, you could try reaching out to an auto parts store or https://vincheckfree.com/ sit, mechanic in your area to see if they have any suggestions. They may be able to help you find struts that are compatible with your lift kit.

In any case, it's important to make sure that any parts you purchase are the correct fit for your vehicle and are installed properly. Good luck with your search!
