"On the left is an early 2000s Suburban, on the right is the stock Trailblazer shaft fully extended. The mounts on either end are a match. It looks to me this is the solution to the difficult to come by steering extension."

We don't know yet, gotta have somebody try it first! Although everything looks like it should work, if connecting ends are the same, don't see a reason it shouldn't.

I will try and get measurements. I am currently in the Battle Creek VA hospital PTSD program. I was out wandering through a local junk yard on Saturday when I decided to pull them and check. Sadly, while my vehicle took box is sufficient to tear down a motor, it does not include a tape measure. I'll figure out a way though......
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

Ok, so I realized that thanks to Battle Box I have a small slap bracelet ruler that came in their tracking themed box a month or two ago. It the best I can do until this weekend, so hopefully it is good enough for the discussion.

Trailblazer on left, Suburban on the right. This is the only noticable difference, but I dont see a quarter turn being an issue. It can probably be corrected in alignment
