2012 Tahoe with 22's and Pedders

Heres my 2012 Tahoe LT with GM 22's and Pedders lowering springs, sway bar end links and sway bar bushings.Ive noticed theres not alot of people that have installed Pedders on their trucks, so heres a bit of my 2 cents on it. the truck had a very soft and bouncy ride( on stock 17's) before i did my transformation. after having the truck for 2 weeks, i had the wheels put on and then the springs the next day. with the 22" wheels on, alot of the soft bouncy ride went away. it felt much better. after i put the Pedders springs on....man this thing felt great! takes turns without much body roll. not too far "slammed". its just enough to give it the right look. it has moment over certain sections of the road, that it gets harsh, but its better than bouncing all over the place out of control. i have much more feeling in the steering wheel, of what the truck is doing. heres some pictures. if you have any questions, ill be more than happy to answer.

nice wheels man. When I see a white NNBS I always regret not getting my Yukon in white lol.

After 2 black trucks and a black car.... I wanted something a little less maintenance in the washing department. I love the look of a nice clean white car with chrome wheels.

looks good!

thanks. i was just checking out your truck on the front page. looks great. i have been debating de-molding my truck and doing the escalade chrome under the mirror. really looks great on your truck.

very nice!HID look awesome

Looks good.
That Pedders kit has the best rear ride I have had with 4 different drop springs.
Not to be pessimistic, but as for the ride in the front, get ready, because in a few months it will go to absolute ish like mine did unless you got the Pedders shocks too.

Nick, your truck looks beautiful.

Welcome aboard.

Pedders shocks are on my list. I'll wait until the current ones take a dump on me. How much do the shocks change the ride? Does it make it and stiffer or just absorb more shock?

It does both. The stock shocks crap out real quick with the drop springs due to shaft being pushed into the casing too deep.
