Hey guys been reading the forums for a while now and finally decided to post. I've got an 04 trailblazer ls 2wd i6 I don't offroad much but have alot of small trails on my property and just love the way these things look up in the air. I started with the rough country lift in the front and z71 springs in the rear. I've got a set of moog 114 springs for the front and spacers for the rear springs. I'm going to try to fit some 315/75/16s under it and I have the wheel spacers already for it. I already flipped the uca knowing I was adding to the RC lift that is on already.

Welcome to the site. And if you have a TB, and you have a locking rear end, you have the 2WD w/ G80 option, not the limited slip option. The limited slip is really only on the SSs or you installed an aftermarket LSD yourself (referencing your profile).

Welcome! You will need to cut some of your fender to fit that tire. A body lift in addition to the suspension lift may also be desired. Have fun!

I'm putting the 114 springs on tonight and spacers in the rear. Yeah I know I'm in for some trimming I'm not a huge fan of body lifts but if that's what it takes then oh well lol. Not sure of its gonna fit in or out of my garage after tonight but we shall see.

Great look! Have you enough clearance to move tire in any direction with this setup?

I had to do some trimming in the front and I'm thinking about extending the four link in the rear to center the rear tire it's pretty close to the back door
