Hello All-

I am a young trailblazer/envoy enthusiast (finishing college shortly) who owns an '02 Envoy SLT. After owning it for almost 2 years now, I absolutely love the truck and plan to get another one with less miles once the funds are available.

Future plans for my next TB/Envoy:

MarkMC lift (probably 3")
BFG KO2/KM2 or General Grabber tire set up
1" or 1.25" spacers
Z71 rear coils and shocks
beefier front upper/lower control arms
G80 locker in the rear
steel bumper in the front (I've read BartonMD is the best for steel bumpers; does he have a website or does he solely operate through inquires from this forum?)

Cheers!

Joe

Welcome! Where abouts you located?
My 2 cents: when it comes to spacers/adapters, I recommend 1.5" thickness. Otherwise the original lugs will protrude past the spacer/adapter and your rim will not fit flush without some cutting or grinding of the original studs.
