Lifting the TrailBlazer

[@ELTOROBOLAS]

We just lift a 2002 trailblazer with 3" coil spacers and 18x9 zero offset and 275/65/18 mud terrain tires , fitment is perfect

[@nicoerli]

solid axles front and back?? or just back

[@ELTOROBOLAS]

@@nicoerli only rear solid axles

[@aracecar4627]

What's strange is I did the OEM acdelco springs with the 2 inch lift in the rear with HD moog rear shocks. And the rebound of the HD shocks would max out (pulling itself apart) when rebounding upwards from the ground. We drilled new holes and relocated the shocks 2 inches upwards at the bottom. And fixed. But I javbt seen anyone else with this issue. Strange..

[@BlakeSwann-h9z]

I got a 07 LS BLAZER I’m thinking about lifting

[@tylerh7298]

@TheTanNetwork lift meister 3" lift, a lot of people use the c25r sky jackets in the rear or Yukon springs in the rear moog 81104s in the front or stiffer but going stiffer in the front will damper flex and rides like cap unless weight has been added ie mdb fabrications bumpers and armor. HD blisteins struts in the front and blisteins 5500 if I'm correct shocks in the rear. also can do body lift suspension lift 1.5 spacers or adapters could run 33s without cutting or minor cutting. also by flipping ucas front and rear you will gain a better drop angle. very capable rig if done properly but with the 8" rear end and odd front diff hardly any lockers available besides the g80. a lot swap the 9.5 ss rear end and ss front diff, but run the lift and do springs and flip ucas HD struts and rear shocks you'll be good to go very awesome rig. I'm doing the performance side before I install what I have for my tb.

[@lautarogatti]

So you use factory shock and spring in front and you just added a 3inch spacer? For the back you used Tahoe springs and what about the shocks? What Tahoe model springs you used? Thank you very much it looks really nice!

[@victorllamas4252]

So i like what you did by bringing the wheels out but can you help me out with spacers just cant find them do you have a part # or address or even phone # would be very help full thanks.....

[@adamyannuzzi9703]

so in the back you did not put a lift spacer in, you just put taho shocks and springs? It looks really nice!

[@TanTinPerformance]

Adam Yannuzzi I used the spacers in the rear. You can use z71 Tahoe spring without a spacers, I do believe.

[@kylehippensteel9339]

I'm buying the 3in lift soonI want to run some 20x9 with 33s Have you done wheels and tires yet?

[@brandonfarmer7446]

Did you get 20x9 wheels and tires

[@Casey74]

How did you get the black chrome bar, that goes across the the headlight. How did you get it to be black, did you paint it?

[@TanTinPerformance]

It was painted before I got it

[@Casey74]

@@TanTinPerformance alright, thanks

[@alextovar7762]

Looks great! What year tahoe springs did you use? and do you think it would work on a 05 envoy? Thanks

[@TanTinPerformance]

I used 04 Springs and I don't see why it wouldn't work on your envoy

[@alextovar7762]

@@TanTinPerformance thanks

[@alextovar7762]

@@TanTinPerformance I Night try then z71's

[@meanf1502]

you used Tahoe springs on the back on that trailblazer

[@TanTinPerformance]

Super Chevy I used Tahoe springs in the rear a lot of people use z71 springs without spacer

[@meanf1502]

TheTanNetwork what did u use for the front

[@TanTinPerformance]

The 3in liftmeister lift spacer. I also used the liftmeister spacer in the rear too.

[@meanf1502]

Them just set on top of the coil spring right they bolt them up

[@TanTinPerformance]

You have to remove the top of the of the strut and replace it with the spacer. You will need a spring compressor.

[@jeremycrockett7270]

getting ready to do a lift on my 02 envoy to run 37/12.50/18's your video answered a couple questions I had. thanks.

[@killercatapiller]

Your gonna gut your front diff if you don't account for the angle of you dangle.

[@CrabbinNFishin]

does loosening the sway bar torsions allow the rear to drop further?, I'm having trouble getting my rear spacers in

[@TanTinPerformance]

I loosened mine when I did mine if that helps

[@CrabbinNFishin]

Thanks I will give it a try. Otherwise I guess I will have to use a spring compressor to get them in.

[@TanTinPerformance]

No problem and good luck.

[@evltexan]

Been a year since your mod, i own a 02 4wd and I'm thinking on a 2.5 or 3.00 inch lift, i was wondering if you had any issues with the cv shafts getting stretched too much to the extent of breaking on you? Any info would be greatly appreciated. BTW you gotta post up any updates on any of your rigs, looking good 👌👌

[@TanTinPerformance]

evltexan haven't broke any cv shafts, but my cv boots are another story. Both outers cv boots clamps failed and boot slid down, but was a easy fix with hose clamp.

[@evltexan]

TanTinPerformance thank you for the feed back, been debating on this for a while now but you just gave me the answer i was looking for! Thanks again!

[@RaceLifeByRicky]

so you say i am good to go with a 3inch

[@diamondharris4963]

Where are the front bump stops on these trailblazer?

[@omarguzmann]

what's the tires size? I wants 265/65 or 265/70 R17 for my TB, but I not sure if I will need wheel spacers and lift kit too...

[@TanTinPerformance]

omar guzman mine are still 245 but I'm going to go with 265/75r16 when I wear these down. I think you can run 265 without a lift and only spacers. I think I see someone run them on here

[@rickyperritte6235]

omar guzman yes you're going to need spacers because I'm running the same size on my envoy and it rubs

[@rickyperritte6235]

omar guzman about the highs you can go without rubbing the 265 6517

[@cody.marion3675]

Running 265 70 16 without lift or spacers

[@bigdaddy7584]

help,,, i have coil rubbing on idle arm with 2 inch lift, what can i do.

[@Casey74]

You said that the the lift gave you a 1 ft of ground clearance. Do you know how much 2.5 inch lift would give you.

[@ChefofWar33]

If my math is correct. It would be .5 inches bigger. XD

[@williamcruse3898]

What year Tahoe springs did you use or does it matter

[@TanTinPerformance]

I used 2004 springs I don’t really think it matters

[@williamcruse3898]

Thanks for the advice and info...

[@mileswatkins6472]

Can you post the link of what lift kit you purchased Thanks

[@TanTinPerformance]

Heres the Link for the lift and spacers goo.gl/dW2KgL

[@deathfalcon8620]

The website doesn't seem to be working

[@nolanbuckingham1267]

How much did this all cost? I was thinking about doing this to mine

[@TanTinPerformance]

I think I spent around $600ish for everything.

[@flamecranium7787]

have you had any problems with anything since you've lifted it? I wanna lift mine, but I've been told that it adds a buncha stress to the tyranny, links, body and steering. thankyou

[@TanTinPerformance]

FlameCranium i haven't had any problems so far. I don't know how it would have a affect on the transmission if you keep the same size tires on. The only thing I can see it hurting in the long run is the rear U-joints and front cv shafts, but that's always a con with a lift. It's worth the ground clearance in my opinion.

[@flamecranium7787]

+TheTanNetwork yep, that's it! itd be totally worth it! I'd be content with 6".

[@brandonfarmer7446]

What size tires are you running now

[@TanTinPerformance]

It had 245s on it when I sold it.

[@nickbrussard3462]

what size lift and what kind of lift

[@TanTinPerformance]

Nick Brussard 3in liftmaster

[@nickbrussard3462]

TheTanNetwork ok thanks

[@jaudielcastellanos24]

just got a 2002 trailblazer bone stock but i want to lift it. lift miester 3'' lift is what raised the vehicle or the struts and shocks?????? help? thinking 315/70/17's hahaha go big or go home huh? what parts and how much lift you think ill need to prevent rubbing and damage to the car. i want as close to a proper lift as i can get to avoid problems down the road.

[@LuisPerez-gz5ci]

Also where did you buy your rotors

[@TanTinPerformance]

They are Maxbrakes kit

[@chosenone3889]

are you going to put bigger tires on it

[@killercatapiller]

Nope he's actually going with some thirteen inch allweathers he got off a hundya accent

[@loaded.357]

Why no Upper control arm flip?

[@joseflindbom7680]

Does that fix the camber?

[@shaunbullock18]

u have the rear spring spacer on up side down

[@TanTinPerformance]

Shaun Bullock how are they on up side down they won't go on any other way?

[@djthunderpsn]

It's not upside down but it is inside out u dumb fucks

[@adammcveigh4936]

Which part of iowa are you in

[@rickyperritte6235]

I'm lifting mine envoy 3" I. Can't. Get the upper ball joint to line u

[@michaelzuniga6839]

From what I saw is flip the arm over place it on the other side of the truck Ok so put the driver A arm upside down on the passenger and it should work and I hope you understand what I'm saying good luck

[@rickyperritte6235]

How did. Get around upper ball joint

[@TanTinPerformance]

Ricky Perritte I used a floor jack to press up on the bottom a arm and it compressed enough to go back together.

[@rickyperritte6235]

I. Work in a shop with lifts got everything in having trouble with. Upper control arm not line up

[@TanTinPerformance]

Ricky Perritte had the same problem and had to use a jack to put some weight on the suspension, so it would come up and line up with the upper control arm.

[@rickyperritte6235]

Ok. Ty. Man.

[@rickyperritte6235]

Hey man that worked thanks for the advice

[@pernellfrancis168]

what year on tge springs my trailblazer is an 06

[@TanTinPerformance]

The Springs I used where a set for a 2002 tahoe that I had got for another project.

[@LuisPerez-gz5ci]

What spacers did you buy

[@TanTinPerformance]

blaspHEMI 11 liftmeister spacers

[@LuisPerez-gz5ci]

TanTinPerformance sorry I shoulda been a bit more specific lol I meant wheel spacers

[@TanTinPerformance]

blaspHEMI 11 they are liftmeister wheel spacers the one on his website anyways

[@joseflindbom7680]

How do you adjust the camber in front?

[@TheSteves75]

What size tires did that have?

[@TanTinPerformance]

TheSteves75 245/75/16 I believe is what's on it.

[@livinginh]

What would have been nice is show us thr steps not just saying whst you did. Also maybe tell us exact parts, years of tahoe springs etc

[@TanTinPerformance]

Part numbers are in the description.

[@livinginh]

Thank you

[@livinginh]

So gotta ask why does a person need wheel spacers? Everything I've read it looks like the only reason you need them to be went to a wider Tire because it'll hit the strut

[@TanTinPerformance]

Rick Hughes I put them on to widen it out to help make it not so tippy and the look. There not really needed.

[@hunterredman3403]

I'm wondering if this is able to be done with my 03 with all you got?

[@TanTinPerformance]

Hunter Redman should be able to there suspension is that same at least all the 03 I have worked on have been the same as my 04

[@hunterredman3403]

Awesome thanks was wondering if you have put on the spacers and some bigger wheels yet I was gonna go 32s but want to know accepted specs from people who have done it I seen another video of a guy with a 3in lifted blazer on 32s looked nice but not getting replies from him for anyone's questions

[@TanTinPerformance]

Hunter Redman I just had spacers on mine with stock size tires never went any bigger sold it before it needed tires.

[@hunterredman3403]

What size spacers

[@hunterredman3403]

Also what year or type Tahoe springs

[@billydevenport8207]

nice video man. thx
