Its finally lowered! The Trailblazer SS that is. Ever since I bought this trailblazer I have been wanting to lower it. I finally got all the parts a what a huge difference in looks. I wanted a 30.5 kit or 30.5 drop not a 31.5. I decided to go with belltech front struts and adjust the airbags for the drop I wanted. In this video I show you how to lower a trailblazer or trailblazer ss. I also show you how to replace the upper ball joints, lower ball joints, upper a arms and sway bar end links in a trailblazer ss. The process for replacing the ball joints and a arms would be the same on a regular trailblazer. I wasn't planning on ball joint replacement since the prior owner said they had already been replaced but they were original. With the amount of play I knew we would have to replace them. I also chose to replace the upper a arms with Norcal SS arms. I think if you are lowering a trailblazer you need to replace the upper a arms to get the alignment right. These are very well made and fit like factory replacements. I will say that the rear air bag adjustment on the tbss is a bumpy ride compared to factory. It is not terrible but noticeable. This video goes through the entire lowering of a trailblazer ss. I also include torque specs for tbss suspension.
