kickass audio Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I assume you mean TB as in trailblazer. If so you have several lift options. I went from OEM springs to z71 springs that are used in tahoes and suburbans. I also upgraded my rear shocks as they were oem ones with 126k miles on them with the springs. The z71 springs are progressive springs meaning they have soft and hard parts that compress at different rates whereas the stock spring is constant so the whole spring compresses at the same rate. My truck got a 3" lift from the upgrade and that includes the weight from my little system in the rear (SMD 18, 4 XS Power d3100's, dc 5.0k, sundown 200.4, box.) Check out gmtnation.com for how to do it. It is super easy to upgrade the springs on your truck, just support the rear of the truck, disconnect the shocks in the rear, drop the entire axle down (if you need more room you can disconnect the sway bar links and then drop the axle down even more) It took me about 2 hours to upgrade on my truck but I also fixed my brake line I put on facing the wrong direction because it wouldn't travel enough after the lift. Here is my thread about replacing the springs with z71 springs: http://gmtnation.com/f76/suspension-fix-04-envoy-8687/ You have a few options, either try z71 springs like I did and it may be an upgrade for you, get z71 springs with airlift 1000 airbags inside it, or get liftmeister springs which add even more lift than the z71 springs. there is another brand spring but idr what they are off hand. I got my z71 springs from this guy http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-11-TAHOE-COIL-SPRINGS-NEW-OEM-SUBURBAN-YUKON-/161105854765?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2582a8412d&vxp=mtr and I sent an offer for $80 and it was accepted, you may be able to go cheaper than that for the offer. 2004 GMC Envoy1 XS power S3400 batt under the hood and 4 XS Power D3100's battery installed in the rear by the amps0 gauge power wire from front to backAlpine iva-w205 touchscreen dvd/cd/mp3/ipod/am/fm/gps headunitSundown Audio SAX-200.4 amp for my mids and highs8 gauge speaker wire from amp to woofer270 amp Mechman AltRockford Fosgate T1652-s component speakersRockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 sound processorRca's from Rockford Fosgate and Monster Cable14 gauge speaker wire for the mids and highs1 18" Ascendant Audio SMD Dual 1 ohm with custom Black & Blue carbon fiber and hand signed dustcapBox: 5.66 cubic feet net volume box tuned to 30.13Hz with 1.5" wide wooden dowels and 1.5" thick baffle1 DC Audio 5.0k amp wired to .5 ohms nominal with an imp rise of 1.35 ohms for the single AA SMD 18"Future Vision 8000k 50w bi-xenon projector HID's with 4300k 35w fog lightsLink to my build: Buildupdates/progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told them 450 extra lbs, I have about 250-300 extra right now, so once I get the extra weight in it will go down more, I like having it high like that, my handling is much better, once I get the correct sized tires on it will look real nice 2006 Mazda3 Hatchback Black 5 Spd ManualPioneer 4300DVD2 Sundown SA-12 (34hz Tune, 3.22 cubes, 14.5 inches per cube, Triple Baffle)Kicker 10ZX2500.1 (2845 RMS) Sub AmpKicker 11ZX650.4 (705 RMS) Mid Amp -- (3 Amps)Kicker KQ3 Active CrossoverKicker KQ30 EqualizerKicker 09QS60.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones)Kicker 09QS65.2 Components (Woven Carbon Cones) - (3 Sets)2/0 Gauge Electron Beam Technologies (3 Runs, 2 +, 1 -) 1/0 Gauge KNU Kollasal Flex (1 Run for -) 300 Ft Kicker X-Series 16 Gauge Speaker WireXS Power D3400 (Rear)XS Power D3100 (Front)Singer Externally Regulated Alternator (Being Built)+ The Love for Car Audio and BASS <3UBL Build Log <------- Click Here-------> Normal Build Log (For Comments) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
