Hello ORTB,
Just starting work on my 2005 Trilblazer Stock for now. In the middle of winter last year I hit a snow bank and broke thoes 4 great plastic brackets that hold the flexy plastic thing some call a bumper on and that was it. I ended up Designing a new steel bumper and welding it up in the summer and noticed when you put 150 pounds on the front it sets in it sag a little more but got me thinkink, new rear bumper, lift, some new springs now im all in to it. Hoping to get a build thread up soon but got some pics to start it off.
