After waiting almost 4 months for them to do another run, I recieved my coilovers for the Trailblazer SS today. Im so stoked to get these on. Kbee coilovers in the front, adjust airbags in the rear. :headbang

Quit wasting time on bcm telling us about them, get them installed and then show us pics of your tbss dropped :thumbsup On a side note, the handling should be night and day compared to stock...

Ha no. This schoolbus isnt enough for the track. The front coilovers are for lowering. I can tighten it up, but it still will have serious body roll and the rear airbags dont help. Id have to stick a bunch more in the suspension to make it track ready.

The truck rides so much better now. Gotta do some fine tuning of the height today. I love it.

someone told me that you cant run airbags in the winter because the moisture in the line will freeze. is this true? maybe theres new technology out to solve this problem. cant wait to see pics.

Here is a Pic From today. It sits almost 2" lower than stock. I may lower it a little more, but I think this is good for now. It rides better than stock. Now I have to find some nice 22" wheel to finish it out.

lincoln and cadillac have been running auto leveling rear air bag systems for years. The tbss system is also an auto leveling system, similar to what you can get in a suburban with the right options. i'm not 100% familiar with the systems but i'd imagine there must be some sort of a drier in the system to remove moisture. somehow semi's run air brakes year around :thumbsup

Thanks for the stock pictures..... When I look at it now, The factory 20" wheels look small. I knew this would happen. Lol
