I often forget that they made 2wd 360's... so used to seeing 4wd/AWD.

Definitely flip the UCA's! Still not ideal, but you don't have to worry about binding drivetrain like most of us.
Carry on

Any tips or comments welcome

Do yourself a favor and replace the rear shocks. The stock ones will fail. Skyjackers work great n8030, i did the 2.5 lift and replaced the struts, coils, upper ball joints and other stuff. The markmc 1.5 in spacers go really well with stock rims also to allow for bigger tires not to mention addex stability, however money is always a factor so at the very least change the rear shocks. Dont wait to find out, do it while its apart

Like Harvyne said you need to replace the rear shocks or you will top out going over bumps.

I thought I'd read that in another thread around here somewhere, is that when offroad or with even city driving?
I was thinking that the alignment was more important ATM, but if I can get it AND rear shocks for under 200 bucks I'm there.

This is what mine looks like with a 2in front 1in rear Rough country kit with Bilsteins and Monroe Reflex (tahoe part#) and a 245/75/16. Firestone Destination AT. Daily Driven and love it.[ImgSize=]

Starting my build

2008 Trailblazer SS

awd drive trail stock

MDC's lift kit
3 inch in the front with the addition of the tan (15125889) gm spring upgraded from the orange (15125886)
and 2 inches in the back with avalanche z71 springs

vector motorsports cold intake

alpine w235bt with dual memphis 12 inch subs in the back off a 1200 amp, kenwood 2m ham radio with a short diamond antenna (is having feed back problems currently)

does a tow strap and a 72 hour bag count as recovery gear?

i have wired tazers to each door handle for security purposes.....

Exterior mods.... broken front bumper mount on the passenger side and Im currently looking for a set of simple fabed bumpers nothing to fancy

the suspension parts will be here soon

Will be going from my stock 255/50 20 wheels to what i aim for is a 305/50 20

will post pics of the build in the next month

[fatherdeath]

You should post this in the build thread or start a thread for questions.

[fatherdeath]

Will move it then I thought this was where to post stuff like that

Did you get the life time alignment? If so go to another shop and find a tech that knows what they are doing.

[BowTide]

unfortunately I didn't have the extra 100 bucks today
IDK what to do at this point...
Take it to a shop my buddy recommended that does customs (they were already closed time I got through yesterday)
and if they can get it done take the spec sheet back to Firestone and ask for a refund.......

Take it back to Firestone Tuesday and talk to management about completing the job I paid them for.....

Say screw it and attempt to adjust it out myself. (Truck came from Wi and is kinda rusty on the dirty side).....

This is the wrong thread for this as well.
