Wow,,, all the LGM colored Tahoes are coming out of the woodwork lol... I searched through all the photo albums on here looking for LGM lowered Tahoes and I think I found two total.

Looks great. Can you elaborate a little bit more on the FREE TRAVEL MOD? Also how is the ride? Stiff, soft, bouncy. I have the djm rear springs and i think they suck.

The free travel mod requires removing the metal bracket that the rear bumpstop attaches to. The bracket is welded to the frame so you need to cut it off with a sawsall or cutoff wheel/grinder. This adds another couple inches of free travel to the suspension. If you're lower than 3-4" in the back, you'll want to do this mod or it will bottom out easily. I like the rear springs but I think the shocks suck. I'd like to get some Bilsteins for the back to compliment the fronts.

No shock extenders. The rear shocks are made for the drop so are shorter. I like the color of your Tahoe lol.... Haven't seen many pics of them the same color as ours.

Yeah, I also have the shorter shocks which accommodate the drop, but that looks like a REAL low drop.

I also have the DJM springs and I have to agree with you they suck balls. I think your set up is like mine. I have rear DJM springs with belltech street performance shocks with NO free travel MOD, and I have to say the ride quality was horrible, well until I bought some helpers bags which made a huge difference in quality. If you dont want to spend the time in doing the free travel MOD just buy the helper bags so it wont bottom out, plus it will help with the ride quality.

^^ Why the resistance to the FTM? It took less than 5 mins per side with a sawzall.

Ehhhh lazy I guess But I might take your word for it. These past several months I've been debating on this. My Hoes rear end is sitting too high and just need to drop it little more for a perfect stance. I was thinking about some shock extenders but ill pass, ill just buy some new belltech springs once I get some cash lined up.

What are your measurements at the corners?

I hated mine at first and I added Airlift bags and they are so much better now.

EDIT - Just saw HK DEMONs post about the bags also.

I'm guessing HK is at 33-33.5" in the rear and 32.5-33" up front.
