I think I am going to go with a 4" Trailblazer series lift from Old
Man Emu. Anyone have any opinions about the quality of this lift?
Also, with a 4" lift, do I need a slip yoke eliminator or a new
driveshaft? THANKS AGAIN.

I agree that flex is over-rated. How much traction can a a tire have
hanging way down with little weight on it?

you had a load of sh*t in your pants.
