LED Lightbar
I have a '04 Blazer and I'm planning to install a lightbar on the inside of it right next to the rear glass, but I don't know where to wire it in to as well as where to wire it to for the DOT S.T.T. (Stop, turn, tail) modes. If anyone can tell me where I can wire it all to that would be great.

The only real concern would be if your light bar combined with a trailer lights drew too much power and could theoretically blow a fuse. Realistically, LEDs draw significantly lower power than equivalent incandescent bulbs, so you're probably fine. A bit of math to add up the total wattage of the light bar and the wattage of the lights on your trailer, compared to the fuse size on your truck would tell you if you need to beef up your wiring. If your trailer lights are LED as well, then you're almost certainly fine.
The standard 4 wire trailer harness would have separate wires for 1) left signal & brake, 2) right signal & brake, 3) marker lights, and 4) ground. I'm not sure what colours they will be in the factory harness.
