Your truck looks real good with the bed on it, and I think your wait and see approach to the rake issue is a good one. One possible easy thing to try (for a visual) would be to get another trailblazer spare and put the two spares on the front to see how the rake looks. Another possibility is using the BellTech 2 or 3 inch drop springs for the trailblazer rear (and they are not that pricy). As to the wheel opening, I would vote for the "one step back" and lengthen the frame. While I enjoy sheet metal work and definitely could go for that idea, I think the proportions of the bed when finished will leave you disappointed.

No matter what, YOUR TRUCK ROCKS! Thanks again for posting all your hard work. I am dying to get back on mine - the GTO just has to leave.

PS - I want that crossover pipe. I will touch base to work out the details.
