Hi all! My names Lloyd and if this turns into a double post I apologize because my clicking finger went rouge on me. I've been reading a lot on this site as well as the other and I would just like to say some of your setups are amazing. My original goal for my TB was to build it into an off roading monster, however after reading, learning, and seeing your setups I can say my new goal is for a moderate off roading daily driver setup.
Here is my setup as of now
2006
chevy
Trailblazer
4x4
non g80
3:43 gears
bilstein HD struts
MarkMc 3" inch body lift
MarkMc 3" inch suspension lift
I have the wheel spacers and am looking for tires and wheels as we speak. Was thinking 285/70/17 duratracs. but after reading and researching i don't want to have to cut into fender so 265/70/17 are looking more than likely.
I will update when I can along with some pics.

So if I'm reading this correctly, you have 6" of lift between suspension and body, but still rolling on stock rims/tires? Sounds goofy and I would love to see a pic of it!
