    Thanks! I was wondering if a hose pop-off would occur.

    air bags or stiffer springs?

    Interesting concept. The cost of this system is high. If you ever lose air, it seems like you are SOL. I think I would like to see more trial-and-error for others before investing in something like this. Bags in coils is what I am trying.

    BDS Rear Coil Spacer Installation

    I guess I'll have to figure something out. The problem is I can't see the bolt head to get a wrench on it, and if I am lucky to get one on, it's hard to keep it on.

    BDS Rear Coil Spacer Installation

    I got the 4" BDS Suspension kit with the 3" rear coil spacer for my 2009 Tahoe. The BDS instructions say to mount the spacer at the upper coil cup and not on the axle. They provided nuts and bolts that are used to mount the holes that are already in the upper coil cup. I tried mounting these...

    Window Wash Tank Protection or Move to Another Location?

    I thought about that, and the idea is not off the table yet, but moving it to someplace else is my first choice

    Regearing Question

    Doing some simple math after researching, a guide said to divide the New Tire Height (measured in inches or CM) by the Old Tire Height, then Multiply by the Original Gear Ratio. so with what I have and where I want to go... 3.42(35/31.7) = 3.78, or in what is available, 3.73 I have a 4" lift...

    Window Wash Tank Protection or Move to Another Location?

    I am still considering relocating/replacing my window wash tank. I have seen options for an aluminum wash tank, but the ones I found only have a single pump and no level sensor. I suppose I could modify one to have dual pumps and a sensor, but I would like to see if there are other options. I do...

    Regearing Question

    I can see where a 4.10 makes sense for the 4-speed transmission but is the same true for a 6-speed?

    Regearing Question

    I have a lift; the larger tires will clear. My rig goes off-road, so I want more ground clearance.

    Regearing Question

    My 4x4 09 Tahoe came stock with the 6L80 transmission, 3.42, and 265/70/17 tire/wheel. I currently run the 285/70/17 tires/wheel on the same gears and transmission. I eventually want to move up to the 315/70/17 tire/wheel. For you all that know gearing, what size gears should I be looking at if...

    air bags or stiffer springs?

    Thanks! I am thinking that way, too. Just not sure how durable they are if the rear suspension flexes a lot off-road. I am considering the Firestone airbags

    air bags or stiffer springs?

    I found I need either to upgrade my rear suspension to use airbags or go to stiffer springs to handle the load I put on it. When I have heavy loads, the rear sags. I have a 4" lift with spacers under the coil springs for the ride height. I think I should be OK to use airbags with my current...

    Reasons to keep OEM wheels after upgrades?

    I recently upgraded the wheels on my 09 Tahoe. The biggest reason I wanted different wheels is that I needed something with less backspace for my suspension upgrades. My OEM wheels were still usable with my current tires on the new suspension, but I eventually will go for a larger tire. Now I am...

    Exhaust Upgrade on Lifted?

    Any concern with losing too much back pressure by modifying the exhaust? Say, if I go with headers, cat delete, and a better muffler?

    Thanks. I was wondering just that.

    Exhaust Upgrade on Lifted?

    Know this is the forum for lifted and off roading, but curious about an exhaust upgrade. My muffler and part of my pipe are using out so I need to replace soon. I was thinking about a cat-back upgrade, but started wondering if it really would be worth the investment for a lifted Tahoe. Its not...
