Has anyone ever done torsion bar adjustment on a trailblazer? If so, how?

I am thinking about doing one on mine to correct some sag, maybe an inch or so more if I can. I'd appreciate any info on how to do this properly. I know adjustments can be made for a plow, but I don't know any for a lift.

What he said.

The only way to correct this is to lift or drop your TB with a set of springs. Also, if you want the ride stiffer, a rear swaybar like the Hotchkis one really helps.

EDIT:
Ohh, yea, if you want to correct sag when there is a load either in your TB or behind it, get an Air Lift 1000 air bag kit. The bags cost about $70, compressor $110.

I just noticed the front end is not as high as my dad's 2005 model. He has 17" wheels, though. I also noticed my front wheels sit kind of....not sure how to say it. The top of the wheel leans in toward the truck, while the bottom is a little further out. The back wheels are level in that respect. There is also more wear on the inside of the front tires.

Sounds like its time for a wheel alignment. That will also take care of some of the front end sag.

Get an allignment done. It will help with the sag and the tire wear.
