Eschenbacher's BUILD - 2004 Trailblazer LT 2wd

[eschy1990]

I decided after 2 years of having my trailblazer lowered to join the lifted side due to lowered not being practical for anything other then scraping speed bumps...the only thing that really slows me down off road is the fact it's only a 2wd but whatever I've been able to take it up and down mountains in Arkansas while firefighting for 7 years when it was stock, so lifted should be just fine for the Tulsa OK country side! Anyway here's how my TB sits today I hope you guys don't mind a lot of my pic's will be while storm chasing as I am a SkyWarn storm spotter.

I don't have any pics of my install Lowered or Lifted so I'll have to share ones of it complete I do have some of the components I used

[eschy1990]

here's a couple of my light bar's during the day

side note yes my sunroof is broken too...

[eschy1990]

here's my interior set up. Real pain to do but worth it I didn't use the center console for anything but cd's so I put it to use

[eschy1990]

Got a few more mod's done the last week added a Hayden Trans Cooler got a set of used 265/70/r17 tires with about 45% tread all mix matched...I'm getting a new set of Wrangler Authority A/T's next week another project was I replaced my upper control arm bushings which isn't hard to do by any means just a pain in the A$$ to get the old bushings pressed out but it mad a HUGE difference in the ride quality and was also a contributing factor to my front in sagging almost 2 inches after being lifted lower control arms are next because I'm not messing with those bushings or ball joint. I also ordered a Spohn performance adjustable Panhard bar in bright red and got it installed which works and looks great!

here's my transmission cooler Hayden high performance no temp gauge yet. hardest part was flaring the hose...

[eschy1990]

here is how I'm sitting currently in the front i'm right at 38 3/4" in the rear

[eschy1990]

replaced my Belltech struts with Monroe Reflex which I have to say are much nicer then the Belltech 37 3/4" in front and I also gave up my Tahoe rear springs for stock Moog TB springs much nicer ride all around it now sits at 37" in the rear so it looks very level

[eschy1990]

After seeing many of or TB's with full 50" lightbars I splurged and got one myself I ordered Mike's brackets and a Penton Cree "rated 48,000 Lumens" not sure on that one...anyway got it mounted and put one of my 15" bars on the lower part of the front bumper I haven't really decided if I like it there or not I also have another to put someplace
