1" rear Chevy Trailblazer Lift

[@trevorjoseph8367]

nice to see yew from Michigan too

[@leonardotamez4083]

Good video! Informative& thorough.

[@chachiversace2947]

So what do you have for lift in front and lift in rear? What size tires are you running as well?

[@filynv582]

I put them on my Tahoe but I installed them on the bottom.

[@mortadachevy6031]

more vids plz awesome afff love ur tb

[@RydogsGarage]

thanks man! it means so much! first person to comment wanting more!! wheel spacer video and a new vlog should be out ASAP

[@Clare.1985]

Hey man sorry if I missed it in the video but what did you use to lift the front? I got a TB too and I absolutely love it. Just rebuilt all the suspension components on my front end rides and drives like a brand new one but I want to lift it.

[@RydogsGarage]

i had the 2” front lift. rough country i think. and just had the 1” rear spring spacers. gave it way better stance

[@Clare.1985]

@@RydogsGarage thanks a million for the quick response! Did you have to flip your front control arms around or did it all mate back up?

[@RydogsGarage]

@@Clare.1985 i did flip mine. and glad i did. and now more i think about it. idk what look your going for. but if i where you. for the price it cost i would just get the 3” front and 2” rear lift kit. by motofab. and flip the front arms and put a longer nicer shock on the rear. and be done with it. should be able to fit 3” tires on that set up and run a 1.5” wheel spacer on stock wheels 🤘🏻

[@RydogsGarage]

if i still had my trailblazer and could redo my parts choices that’s what i would have done.

[@joesweat2800]

Did you spray paint your rims black? If do what was the process, or did you find chevy rims blacked out which they seem to be? Thx

[@RydogsGarage]

Joe Sweat They are plasti-dipped black!, took all 4 off and put them on cardboard and used index cards around the rim (they stick in between the rim and tire) cleaned them up really good make sure there is no grease and just did as many coats as i could with the 4 cans i had, basicly 1 can per rim. it's held up almost a year with even washing them with a power washer to get dirt off

[@avonbarksdale91]

I have a 08 trailblazer with stock 17 inch rims. About to get some 265/70/17's tires. Would a 2” lift be enough to ensure no rubbing. Would I need spacers? Not off roading just want the look of a bigger truck.

[@RydogsGarage]

avonbarksdale91 yep! 2” front lift and 1” back will be just perfect. and yes i would recommend 1.5” hubcentric wheel spacers, Bora is the company. going to need them so the tires won’t rub the front upper ball joint.

[@avonbarksdale91]

Rydog's Garage what about 1.5 in the back. That’s all they have on rough country... they do sell 1inch lifts on eBay tho.

[@matthewbenedict9328]

Do you have a video on doing the front?

[@RydogsGarage]

Matthew Benedict no i don’t. and trucks gone now. sorry

[@thezeroto60outlet65]

Do you have the brand names and websites you got the suspension spacers and wheel spacers from Im looking for those for my 2002 Trailblazer

[@RydogsGarage]

lr45gaming my front 2" spacers are from rough country, I got it on eBay, and the rear spacers are 1" eBay coils spacers, and my wheel spacers are 1.25" eBay wheel spacers lol, I don't remember the seller, if you have more money buy BORA wheel spacers way better quality and they are hub centric

[@thezeroto60outlet65]

Rydog's Garage ok thanks man

[@RydogsGarage]

lr45gaming your welcome! if your trailbalazer is 4x4 I wouldn't recommend going bigger than 2" front and 1" rear, mines only 2wd, but if I had 4x4 I would have but a 3" on the front and converted the rear to the Tahoe sprigs and shocks plus a 1" spacer, which gives you about 2 1/4 lift in the rear, so you can fit some 32/33" with cutting the fenders, and wheel spacers. Max I can go is 30"

[@RydogsGarage]

lr45gaming I also highly recommended a adjustable panhard bar/track bar, so you can center your rear axle, that's super important, and doing the front upper control arm flip mod is also important with a lift too so that the upper ball joint is not maxed out on angle

[@martingarcia1839]

If I add a 3in rear will have to to change my rear suspension? Or should stock be fine?

[@RydogsGarage]

3” rear spacers you will need a aftermarket rear track bar/panhardbar. becuase the stock one will be the incorrect length and the axle will not be center under the truck. it will screw up your thrust angle for alignment and the rear suspension will bind the arms will be on wrong angles

[@RydogsGarage]

the pan hard bar has to be longer in order to recenter axle at 3” lift

[@Casey74]

Did you ever change the back /front strut or did you use the factory springs. Also the 1 inch, is it measure between the top of the tire to the bottom inside the fender(above the tire) ?

[@zacharycopollo4537]

Can you post the link for that rear coil spacer. I cant find it anywhere

[@austinchristensen4950]

I recently put in the rough country level kit. I see it looks like you kept the isolater on with the rear spacer. I didn't really know what to do there, the instructions were poor and didn't say to use or discard that isolater. Have you found other info on that at all?

[@RydogsGarage]

+no i have not found any info on it, to me from car experience i used it becuase it should be there Austin Christensen

[@Jason_Phillips3679]

After this install did you have to go get an alignment?

[@RydogsGarage]

Jason's Journeys any time you change suspention parts/ maintence or mods you “should” get ana alignment. if it drives straight some people just run it. but by book you need one

[@Jason_Phillips3679]

@@RydogsGarage yeah I would.

[@kiddramms3110]

Iight I have the same truck but I want to keep the same factory height add 2” spacers and gets 20” or 18” ss replicas or oem rims you think it’ll rub?? Or add too much stress on the barrings?

[@RydogsGarage]

Kidd Ramms don't do wheel spacers with a rim that large. get the ss replica wheels and they will be the proper offset to sit flush with the fender. and with a 20" wheel you will have to run like 245/40/20. or close to that. any tire larger than 31" tottal diameter is going to rub.

[@kiddramms3110]

Rydog's Garage bet, thanks yo

[@kiddramms3110]

Quick question if I wanted wider tires and do a semi Carolina squat on the truck how would you go about it.... I️ was thinking 3” in the front and 1” in the back with wider tires and maybe spacers to get clearance

[@RydogsGarage]

Kidd Ramms yeah they sit 1" higher in the back from factory. 3" front lift. 1" rear lift will give you that cali lean look. a high offset wheel with like a 10.5" or 12.5" tire. would be sweet. like a 20" moto or fuel wheel. with a 32" tall 10.5" wide nitto 420 tire.

[@kiddramms3110]

Rydog's Garage you have any lift suspension recommendations and or level lift recommendations so ik I’m not getting crap parts

[@1970chevy07]

What spacer did you use for the front do you have the link where you bought them looks nice

[@RydogsGarage]

1970chevy07 i used 1.25" spacers on all 4 corners. just a cheap set on ebay

[@meanf1502]

what did you do to the front that looks good 31 inch mudders know

[@RydogsGarage]

Super Chevy 2" rough country strut lift kit

[@meanf1502]

Cool thanks

[@martinhernandez-mg2fc]

I just got a 3 to 1 inch level kit and they both have 2 inch is that normal or did they send me the wrong part

Where'd u get the blue mud flaps?

Jacob Brill ebay. i took them off now. need to do an update video on my blazer i have changed it a ton.

[@greghines3699]

He put the rubber piece on the opposite side of where it was on the stock one.

[@RC_Films_]

Would this be a body lift or a true suspension lift? Front and rear.

[@RydogsGarage]

RC Films suspension only, i don’t like body lifts .

[@RC_Films_]

Rydog's Garage does that affect the angles of driveshafts and wear?

[@RydogsGarage]

RC Films no not at all. 1” won’t do anything. if you go 2”+ rear you may want a longer shock and a adjustable panhard bar but 1” is fine. i’ve had theses in 40,000 plus miles no issues

[@RC_Films_]

Rydog's Garage how about 2 inch front?

[@RydogsGarage]

RC Films 2” does nothing other than you need an alignment. if you go 3” you need to flip your upper control arms. 180 degrees. put the passenger on the driver side. and driver on passenger side. to help the upper ball joint angle. other wise it’s all good.any more than 3” and it starts to be to much angle of the front cv shafts if you have 4x4. if you have 2wd dosent matter. sky is the limit. becuase of our dual control arm coil over set up. in front.

[@skilledbarber]

So, you had 1" rear and 2" front ?

[@RydogsGarage]

Christian Ramos yes 2” front kit and 1” rear spacers

[@YoteNationest]

What brand of shocks are those man?

What kind of exhaust did you use?

[@RydogsGarage]

Greg Buckley i made my own. i cut the stock muffler out under the truck, and put in a cherry bomb vortex muffler. in place of it and used a stock size 2.75" pipe to full in the space cause the vortex is like half the size of the stock one. and then i cut the resonator can thing off under the rear bumper and replaced that with a 2.75" pipe and a tip

GearHead Vlogs i just posted a new updated walk around last week! be sweet if you could check that out. and that’s a good idea!! i’ll keep that in mind!

[@Intywetruss]

Do you have a body lift or just the suspension ?

[@RydogsGarage]

Geaux L'A just the suspension, 2" in the front from roughy country and the 1" rear coil spacer

[@Intywetruss]

Rydog's Garage ohh cool.. which way you think would sit higher that way & adding 32in tires ? or would it be higher with a 3in body lift & 32in tires ?

[@RydogsGarage]

in my opinion i would do the suspension first. it will have more articulation that way and the suspension will perform way better offroad and function like it should. rather than stock suspension struggling and you lifting the body to make the tires fit.

[@Intywetruss]

Rydog's Garage thanks , the shop I'm looking at now tho only have the the 2 lifts in the front & 1 in the back cause they say the back is already a little bit taller 🤔 .. but I guess that would help me sit somewhat higher..

[@RydogsGarage]

your welcome!the truck does technically sit 1" taller in the rear from the factory, but i can almost guarantee a 2" front and 1" rear is not enough to fit 32"s you need to do the 3" front lift and upper control arm mod, and put 09 tahoe springs and shocks in the back to get almost a 2" rear lift, sometimes they put a 3/4 spacer with the springs. i can link the forums for these installs if necessary. also by putting tahoe rear springs the truck will be able to haul more weight and not squat down because the springs are thicker. i didnt need the height but i almost did the tahoe springs because i tow alot and thats a nice thing.
