1.5” wheel spacers(have)
Small level kit on front
Slightly larger tires(255/60/18 or 265/60/18) stock wheels

Damn. I was gonna pay someone at the DMV to run those tags and tell me where you live so I can....... uhhh..... see your truck in person?

I've thought about getting a denali as my daily driver. Them things are nice.

Its a habit i started years ago i alway block out tag. Doesnt do any good nowa days with all the updates in tech u can find anything about anyone u want with very little effort lol. Just an old habit i still do to this day. And yeh its great daily. The heated seats are my favorite feature this winter. But the tires stink in snow. I dont like highway tread pattern and once spacers and spring conversion in will be upgrading those as well. In about a year of ownership other then fluids only thing replaced was upper radiator hose and starter. I do all work my self so saves a ton on repairs

Sure wish I had the heated seats in the winter of '17. Friggin' snowmageddon out in OR that year. 

Good thinking to do your own labor. That knowledge will save your ass on a trail. I've had to remove/replace struts, splined disco, CV Shafts, hubs, brakes and I'm sure a bunch else on the side of a trail. I sure was glad I didn't have to do those for the first time out in the shit.

Yeh it def helps. Man im digging your trailblazer. Trailblazers def look tougher then envoys lifted and bigger tires. Mine will be ok once lifted and bigger tires but my wife like the side steps so for now there staying but id love to ditch them for looks and slightly more ground clearance.
