i looked at endless trailblazer vids.. your the only one that showed the whole frickn process.. thanks.. i got my 04 ext.. ready to lift it also.. 5.3 v8... its a tough job but im ready.. did the ball joi ts befor.. thanks for the how to vid., im excited to see what i cando now.
Thanks bud! Although I feel I left out more stuff. But tried to compact it best as possible.. I sold mine already and looking for the 5.3 as well but might go with the short base. But the job honestly isnt hard at all. Having power tools sure does make the process faster!
Maaaaan, I ended up buying a ball joint press kit for the upper. I hanmered nonstop and it would NOT come out. With the press kiy it took less than 5 to remove and install the new balljoint
I got a 2003 Trailblazer LTZ current upgrades 3 inch level lift 33 inch mud tires i had a rim conversion spacer made so i could rock the rims which went for a jeep i got a touch screen back up camera and a upgraded stereo ! I got the suv as a beater at the time for $3800 bucks but found it was a durable fun SUV and currently planning so much more for it !!!!
Right on brotha!. I sold mine already. Went to a good home. I'm actually looking for a shorter base with a 5.3 to build next. I wasn't to much of a fan of the 4.2. The ext was comfortable with space but I just didn't like the appearance... stay tuned tho. Got alotnof builds to post
Unfortunately, it was totaled. I had sold it to my cousin where it was rear ended under his ownership. Was a great suv and saved his life. The other driver was driving at 90+mph speed while intoxicated... could of been worse had my cousin been in a smaller vehicle
Did you swap the upper control arms? trailazers have issues with clearing the upper ball joint. You switch the uppers and upside down 'em. L to R and install upside down. It corrects the angle on the upper ball jointys
Yes sir, I did... don't remember if mentioned in the video. But also replaces upper/ lower control arms, ball joints, axles, bushings..etc. it rides great. But now downsizing to smaller tires and got some lightweight wheels. The gas is horrible right. Until I get funds tonre gear and go up to 37s. Shes gonna sit a bit shorter for now
I got an 06 ext in black and I live otro style might take your ideas hole you don’t get bothered but he’s trailblazer love and that code try changing the valve cover gasket if it’s bad and air manifold gasket these go bad on these trucks
Is that an SD9 VE or the SD40 VE I seen during your intro? I have an SD9. I love the way Trailblazers look. So beautiful to me. I HATE THAT PIECE OF JUNK 4.2!!!
Thanks brotha! and yea I agree lol. Most finicky engine I've had to deal with. Very sluggish too.. and yes it's my sd9. Great gun for being lower end price..
Nice build man! I have a question, with the life pucks did you have to extend the suspension? And where did you buy them because last time I check they didn’t make a lift kit for the EXT trailblazer
Thanks bud!! No extension. All I did was swap the UCA from left to right then flipped then upside upside down.. and I just used the same lift for the short base. Fits exactly the same!!. Might need donde one help u put some weight on lower suspension components to help squeeze in the new parts. But not much to it
I sold it, and then it was totaled under the last owner. But no I didn't have one. I thought about doing one but the end I just moved on to my next project
Thanks bud!. Yea I actually downsized to 32s, with lighter wheels. It moved alot better. Just sold it too tho. Went to a good home. I'll be looking for another but this time with a 5.3
That is the stock steel bumper. The plastic on the front of your truck is not the bumper, just a bumper cover. Remove that and this is what's hiding under there. Note, though, if you have fog lights they attach to the bumper cover and not the bumper itself.
Thanks bud! Yea like the gentleman stated. It's just the stock "crash bar" "bumper bar" different names for it....these front bumpers honestly dont align right .least not mine so I just took it out also to avoid any rub
what, youre down to 10mpg after this? my stock ext , i get an avg 18 and 20s on the highway at 60-70mph flat, no wind. i dont think this suspension/tire swap is your mpg problem
You're right. I don't think so either after i down sized tire size and also upgraded to lighter weight wheels, new oem spark plugs. Pulled and cleaned throttle body along with everything else required for a tune up.. It actually made no difference in city but a decrease in highway... I'm starting to think I should suspect my catalytic converter or 02 plugs maybe being bad... possibly bad injectors. Maybe even might of jumped timing a tad bit.. im pretty stumped now..
Yo yo nice Trailblazer bro. EXT yup yup. I uploaded videos of my just a couple days ago. Check it out on my profile bro. Looking to spread the word. Love Trailblazers. By all means not showing off, just looking to spread the word and help others also. Thanks bro
I removed the bumper cover. Although It was rubbing on it. U will need to cut it if you're keeping it. Also the fenders needed some trimming. The inner wells didnt re quire to much work but I think I did have to trip some random pieces sticking out. As for parts I re did everything under the suspension, wheels tires. I think I spent 3k. I'd have to double check

Lol. It happens bro.. I tend to lean towards what ever is going to make the job easier. Even if u cost me a bit more time or money for tools..

Хорошая машина. Владею такой только 2008года. Доброго вам из России.
It looks amazing, show more videos about this car.
Unfortunately, it was totaled. I had sold it to my cousin where it was rear ended under his ownership. Was a great suv and saved his life. The other driver was driving at 90+mph speed while intoxicated... could of been worse had my cousin been in a smaller vehicle
Looks way better now👍🏼
Thank you! My next build should look better. She's under my friends possession now. Still going strong.
What front axles are you using? I have a leveling kit installed on mine and it’s too much of an angle.
I used stock axles. Did you flip and switch or upper control arms?
Did you swap the upper control arms? trailazers have issues with clearing the upper ball joint. You switch the uppers and upside down 'em. L to R and install upside down. It corrects the angle on the upper ball jointys
Yes sir, I did... don't remember if mentioned in the video. But also replaces upper/ lower control arms, ball joints, axles, bushings..etc. it rides great.

hopefully you put a grease zerk in that link too haha
Lol sure did!! I was just anxious to get it out!!
When it turns doesn’t hit bumper?
I got an 06 ext in black and I live otro style might take your ideas hole you don’t get bothered but he’s trailblazer love and that code try changing the valve cover gasket if it’s bad and air manifold gasket these go bad on these trucks
No grudge here bud!! And I don't mind at all! We all get inspired by someone somewhere. I'll definitely take a look at those parts. Thanks!

Do you have a skid plate ? ?
I sold it, and then it was totaled under the last owner. But no I didn't have one. I thought about doing one but the end I just moved on to my next project
Good job on the suspension bro. But the tires to big.
Thanks bud!. Yea I actually downsized to 32s, with lighter wheels. It moved alot better. Just sold it too tho. Went to a good home. I'll be looking for another but this time with a 5.3

Hermosa camioneta 😅
Gracias!!
Yuhh i have my front differential blown and yeah thats that
All that means is, time to upgrade 😎
What type of front upper control arms are you using with the 3 inch lift?
Stock, just switched from left right and flipped them upside down
Whut in the hell is on your air hose?
what, youre down to 10mpg after this?
my stock ext , i get an avg 18 and 20s on the highway at 60-70mph flat, no wind.
i dont think this suspension/tire swap is your mpg problem

you in riverside huh
Sold it to someone in riverside.
@@vanni_doestv4516 looks like the fields between riverside and Perris
Worked?upside down shocks?
Yup, so far no issues. My only guess is the inside of the boot will get dirty.
Yo yo nice Trailblazer bro. EXT yup yup. I uploaded videos of my just a couple days ago. Check it out on my profile bro. Looking to spread the word. Love Trailblazers. By all means not showing off, just looking to spread the word and help others also. Thanks bro
Heck yea bud will do right now. I'll sub!!.good looking out!!
yehhhh nvm i don’t want a lift anymore
How much you pay for parts?
I removed the bumper cover. Although It was rubbing on it. U will need to cut it if you're keeping it. Also the fenders needed some trimming. The inner wells didnt re quire to much work but I think I did have to trip some random pieces sticking out. As for parts I re did everything under the suspension, wheels tires. I think I spent 3k. I'd have to double check
