Put the shitzle back together again. Here is how much rack you'll have without Radflo's, no front lift outside of body lift and BDS+Z71+Body lift in the rear.
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.

It would with 1 passenger and the tires air'd down to 10psi, because that's how I backed it in. And it only fit on the side that doesn't have an automatic opener.

The stock ones were really really bent.

Wow. Did you hit them on something or did the just fatigue over time? I figured the upper stamped steel ones would give out before the lowers.

Got my suspension replacement parts all ordered. New Moog coil springs and seats, Monroe sensa-trac shock absorbers, and Monroe quick-struts. I'll be getting everything in by tomorrow, and probably dropping them in this weekend. Next will come presumably a 3" lift. As she sits, there's the original 03' suspension and the rear has all but quit. Really looking forward to getting this done.
