looks great! i cannot wait to get my drop!.. how does that kit ride compared to the kit u have with the rear spacer and front struts?

NORCAL SS · Feb 20, 2012

I need to cut the bumpstops more in the rear i just cant because right now it hits the aftermarket exhaust so the shop will need to rebend that portion.

The rear kit is the same ie springs with the 1 inch spacer and drop struts

for the front went with spindles since its a new truck new struts arent needed

So I have a question since I too have a Z71.

Will installing the rear shocks help the truck sit a tad lower? I ask because my Z71 still sits around 34 3/4 on the rear left. The rear shocks are the Bilstein HD (red in color) and aren't the same as every other non Z71 Tahoe.

If you think this will help I will order some this week. Oh and also about how much space should be between the truck and the bumpstop with the rear kit in?

Thanks Tony,

Randall

Tony,
This is the kit I just bought from you yesterday. What do I need to tell my installer to do to get my Tahoe to sit like that one? It looks really nice! I will be running the same tires. Is it going to rub anywhere?

For anyone in the Dallas, TX area. Can you recommend an installer for me? Thx!

In front was fine in rear rubbed the plastic fenderwells so I drove it for abotu 5 miles and did turns and saw where it rubbed and cut the liner away. No biggie at all.

Looks great and its definitely on the "soon" part of my "to-do" list. How does the kit affect towing capacity? For the immediate future I can't see the need to tow more than #3000 lbs... Do I need to bag it to keep it able?

You can add helper bags for 80 dollars inside the coil springs and will be good to go.
