Check out some of my vids with my 2004 Chevy trailblazer with a 3" suspension lift soon to have a 3" body lift and 2" wheel spacers and 35" Mud terrains
Check out some of my videos of my trailblazer with a 3" lift and stock balding tires lol ill put 35" tires after my 3" body lift and 2" wheel spacers after the tires wear out lol
hey i have a 2002 chevy trailblazer, where do i even look to get it lifted? All i seem to find are leveling lifts. Is that going to even make a difference?
Isn't the traction control system enough...why the need for an extra measure of the rear lockers by GM? Just wondering. BTW, I think traction control is the best invention in 4x4 tech since the Torsen, limited slips, and diff locks.
@Trailvoy : Good point. I have yet to see a hard core rock crawler use traction control in place of lockers. But for all-around performance, traction control is definitely the way to go, especially since you'd also get the benefit of stability control on-road.
Ive seen a few of your videos, strong work. With such heavy duty, for a TB, off roading what have you broken as far as power train. You dont seem to be using this as GM inteded, yet your rig still seems to be working alright.
LOL! I'm an engineer, and very careful to not overtorque the locker or the front CV shafts. So far, nothing's ever broken. But I carry a front wheel hub/bearing assembly, and two CV shafts (and the tools to change them on the trail) as spares. I also worry about the tie rods, but I get out and look a lot on rocky trails to avoid surprises. I don't just point it uphill and give it the gas like others do who break things. Good question!
It came with the factory automatic Eaton locker option - code G80 in the glovebox. About $250 when put in at the factory, about $1000 to add later. After three years of searching, nobody makes an aftermarket front locker for our unique 7.25" front differential.

I have an 03 Envoy 4x4 and u said that the G80 in the glovebox meant it had the Eaton locker option?

That's the code. If you have it, it's a useful 4X4. Without it, you need to stick to places with all four tires on the ground.

2002-2005 didn't have Stabilitrac as an option, and the true locker works more efficiently, without brakes. Mine is a 2004.

did you put a locker in that because mine would never climb that as soon as one wheel comes off the ground mine stops
