Didn't Mark already have a 3" lift spacer well before this?
EDIT: Yep.. he has had this lift out for a while already.

that is what I thought when I first read it. Did this maybe come from Mark's new foundry?
I know he was working on one a while back.

Yeah, I'm confused too.
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.

Haa. I had a discussion with mark about this. The ones pictured above are machined by some guy that" and don't quote me on this" mark is not fond of and is trying to cut him out of his business.

I'm sure they are prototypes because they are from his home foundry, as suggested above. I've seen his foundry system. I hope this works out for him!

Another new product from my foundry.
This will be added to the line up as part number 300C (C for cast).
Original 3" lift will remain available as high end option.
The price will be between $180 and $200,, depends on paint and machine costs..
Sent a boat load of parts to powder coat yesterday.
Marketing target is to the guys that want more lift than 2.5", but have a tight budget..
Note:
The casting is almost identical to the machined counterpart.
It is 1/8" thicker thus giving more lift.
Thanks Nate for volunteering !
"My Bad" on the paint..lol

Before
After- sry for the blurry pic
Running worn out 32's. According to my other measurements I gained about an 1.5" after marks 2.5" lift. If you want I can put up my others... I have yet to get one from the ground to he fender. I will say That the 3" is a much better ride than the 2.5". And some how my alignment fixed itself with this install as well. I'm very pleased with this spacer. It performs nicely off and on road.
Big thanks to mark for his hard work and time into this. I would definitely recommend this to others looking to get more out of their rig.

You know I thought it was just in my head. I just went from Mark's 2.5" to 3" and thought it felt a lot smoother.
