The springs are what has me a bit concerned. I want to make sure I buy that right ones that will perform well with my lift and struts.
They are high, because they're adjustable up to 3inches and are custom made for our cars. They include a new spring and shock, so you won't be replacing those two items. You also won't need a spacer.
Let me put it to you this way. We started out last June with the BDS lift kit, in August it broke on us. Now, we just lifted 3 more inches. I have a choice, buy marks 3inch spacer or just buy the damn radflos. I am going to buy the radflo's even though I already have new front springs I just bought too in haste.
Just like Conner mentioned above, a lot of us wish we had gone that route.
My advice is think it over very carefully, do you think you might go up in size down the road after a while. We got bit by the bug.
If it's worth it to you to have the option for the best and room for improvement in the future, save the pennies for them. Patience is a virtue in getting what you want and having the best.
If you still don't want to go that route, I'm recommending marks kit over the BDS.
The Blistien shocks are great, we're riding with them upfront, I have BDS in the rear, but I might replace those too with the ones fish mentioned.
A few of the guys with old bad backs

will tell you the Z71 springs are too stiff. I think they're perfect and make the truck feel like a truck. So good choice there, even better if you want to load up and haul stuff. If you like a soft ride like a pillow, then don't get them.
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.
