Got my bridging ladders on... Unfortunately it's too much weight and I need to need to beef up my rack supports again. This time it's for real.

Oops.... Though the 4wd worked... Turns out it doesn't hahaha. That's what I get for being bone stock! I should probably get some tow hooks on the front too.... -_-


That looks super embarrassing.

Oh believe me... it was. Especially since I drew attention to myself and it took 3 different trucks to try to pull me out until someone with a chevy finally succeeded!

Shame on me for being in a parking lot, but I grabbed this just before I left and thought it turned out fairly good..

Yeah, I have Mark's 1.5" Wheel Spacers and currently just the 1/2" front strut top spacer so almost 1" front lift. 275/65R17's (31x10.8) it rubs a little but when I get around to putting the coil spacers in it should be clear.

Her's a link to my opening thread with other pictures.

looks good! I need to get spacers for my stock wheels. Maybe the better stance will satisfy my mod bug temporarily.Image

I always wished the rear windows on the SWB popped out.
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.

That looks nice! Hopefully not for long. Time find some trails to test the new found ground clearance. Tires? Looks like marks 3inch right?

It's the 2.5 kit and I'm running GY Duratracs

Love the tires. Maybe put the whole combo to the test tomorrow.

We got a new to us trailer couple months ago and I used my truck to tow it for the first time this weekend. Tows well. Kinda handy to have a small storage shed on wheels to lock up stuff and protect it from the weather.
