If the springs look about right, it probably is. Our data might be slightly incorrect, but it was based on the data we had at the time.

It can’t hurt to try, you’ve already bought them. The rear is quite easy to swap anyway, Incase you need to swap back

I haven't forgotten about the site. I'm still reading up, asking questions, and buying parts right now. My father passed away a couple weeks ago so my progress will be delayed through most of the summer. When I have time, I have a rough country leveling kit, Z71 rear springs, Bilstein shocks, and a set of 265/60R18s for the '09 Envoy. The '03 Envoy is a little more complicated. I plan to get the 3" MarkMC lift, 2" body lift, bumper and skidplates from MDB fabrication, and find a set of Tacoma rock sliders. I do have a Trailblazer XLT G80 rear axle bought for it. I doubt I will get to working on them before August or September now.

Been lurking around for a good 3 months. I originally purchased my 06 LT for my 18yo daughter. She needed something more road Worthy than the Rendezvous. This Trlblazer had been sitting for 8 or 9 mos, it was low on antifreeze so I grabbed a jug and threw it in purchased the vehicle and drove 70 miles back home. When I arrive in Grand Forks the water pump let's loose and puked antifreeze everywhere. Not terribly concerning because I have 2 years Auto tech training (class of '94) the career didn't fit my life. I threw the water pump in about 3 hours changed the oil, checked fluids and sent my daughter off to potato harvest. It's about 65 miles commute to the farm once or twice a week. Fast forward about 5 weeks harvest is over and while driving home from her last day, made it about 10 miles from home and an outer tie rod come right out of the socket. Luckily it happened as she was taking off from a stop sign and not going highway speeds. And so begins my Trailblazer build?

There are two separate sides of the site. One side is the thing that we call the "www" side. This is the segment of the website that has a web address beginning with www. This incorporates our tech docs, how-tos, recuperation articles, news posts, and media segments (and is an awesome asset!). The opposite side of the site is the gathering. Any page whose web address starts with 'discussions' is a piece of the gathering. The discussion is the client network and has an abundance of data posted by our clients. You will discover connections to the two sides of the site from the top menu bar, underneath the ORTB logo.

Hello everyone, new here. Have a 2004 LS (beaten up Indigo Blue Metallic) with 200,000 miles. I have really enjoyed some great reliability over the years. I live and work in farm country. I have decided that before Mine is too old, I want to give it a small lift. 2.5 Front 1.5Rear. Went with the suggestion of a member and ordered a Supreme Suspensions kit. now tryin to see if I can go bigger on tires with 2.5 lift, and 1.25 spacers. currently on 245 70 16's and want to keep stock rims, so I am sure I will irritate you all soon with repetitive questions LOL.

A) this is not the forum to ask questions without searching for a while first. Just a forewarning.
B) Welcome! Enjoy the Trailblazer, great platform to build off.
C) I fit 265/75/16 duratracs with 1.5 inch spacers a 2 inch lift and stock rims. I have also heard of people going as large as 35s on stock rims.

(B)Thanks for the welcome.
(C)I do appreciate the info. and look forward to contributing.

Hey everyone, I am in need of recommendations.
Would you mind telling me the best upgrade for this old pick-up truck?

Hello,

I have recently purchased a 2004 TB EXT LT. I would like to take it overlanding with kids and dogs. I want to start with new wheels and really good pair of tires. I'm sorry but it already seems quite confusing about what size of wheels and tires will fit. I do not wish to do a lift kit. Is there anyone that could recommend some nice looking AT tires and off road wheels that will fit this vehicle.

Next we would want a cargo basket, lights on top, a shower and an awning. But first I have to put on bigger better tires not the stock chevy tires.

I appreciate you all and your input and especially your photos.

Best,
Deanna

Perhaps I should be more specific. I have 17 inch wheels right now and would like a great set of tires in one of these sizes (mentioned on another post):
17"
265/65/17 = 30.56" diameter
285/60/17 = 30.46" diameter
I would also like new wheels to go with the new off road tires. I like to camp on 4wd access only roads and I drive through the Sierras (mostly Eastern) in the winter.
Thx.

Well I'm still here, and saw a lifted TB in Beaverton, OR and just saw a GMC Envoy starting to add some toys. Though apparently I'm not the only one that hasn't been on here for a couple years....
The problem with the Trailblazer is, people think you know what you're doing.
