    BDS Lift Kit Delays!

    I FINALLY got my BDS kit, yesterday! It only took 4.5 months since I ordered, and the last time I spoke to sales they were saying mid-October maybe. But, I was excited to finally get it! Never received a notice that it was being shipped, and their Web site still says it has not shipped yet...

    Air Aid Jr for 5.3L

    I went with a different system but had this Air Aid Jr on my 2009 Tahoe with a 5.3. This has the Synthamax FIlter that is not oiled, and the Syntaflow that is oiled. Also included is the oil recharge kit. I am also including the OEM air box that has large holes drilled into it to allow more...

    coil spring compressors?

    I will be removing my rear coil springs soon. Dropping the axel with the shocks and sway bar disconnected does not drop far enough to remove the springs because I have spacers. I see a lot of different coil spring compressors on the market. Given that a compressed spring is a loaded cannon, and...

    Spohn Control Arm Adjustment

    I have the Spohn off-road-rear suspension control arms and track bar. From another forum post, one person commented tightening down the del-sphere joint as far as you could go to take care of some clunkiness. But for mixed-use (road and trail), is tightening the joint this tight the right thing...

    Hot Line from Transmission?

    Hi, I have an 09 Tahoe with the 6L80 transmission. When looking at the radiator, which transmission line is hot that comes from the transmission, and which is the return? In some research, some are saying the top line at the radiator is the return to the transmission. Can anyone confirm this...

    BDS Lift Kit Delays!

    @gnarlyallen What are the tires and wheels you have on your rig, and what size?

    BDS Lift Kit Delays!

    Thanks, all! Your comments have eased some of my frustration. I'll keep on being patient with BDS and knowing it could be another month before I get it. Was hoping to get the work done this summer, but is what it is. @gnarlyallen your rig looks great! It is taller than I would have expected...

    Metallic buzz sound when shifting

    Thanks. But it doesn't make a rattling sound all the time. The only time I hear the sound is when reaching a high RPM (5-6k) then it shifts to the next gear, and not all gear shifts. I did have the tranny lines changed back in April, but I'll crawl under to check the heat shield.

    Metallic buzz sound when shifting

    CEL? Check Engine Light? That was the first thing I checked. Nothing there. I did drop the pan and changed the fluid and filter about a couple of months ago and only had the fine metal residue that you typically find on the magnet, and the rig has not been driven much. I'll double-check my fluid...

    Metallic buzz sound when shifting

    On my 09 Tahoe with a 6 speed, I am getting a loud metallic buzzing sound when shifting from 2nd to 3rd on hard acceleration (or could be 3rd to 4th, will double-check). The sound does not happen at all gear shifts. What could be the cause of this sound and what could go wrong? Normal driving...

    BDS Lift Kit Delays!

    I ordered a BDS lift kit back in the middle of May. It is now the end of July so it has been 10 weeks and I STILL do not have a kit! I asked the salesperson what is going on and all I get is there are boxes waiting to be complete and that they will inquire from production to let me know. I never...

    Gearing question

    Hi, I need a little help trying to figure gearing for the upgrades I want to do. I have an 09 Tahoe with the 6-speed tranny, and the front/rear diffs have the 3:42 gear ratio. If I want to go to 315/70/17 tires, then what is a recommended gear ratio to consider for the diffs? I know the tranny...

    Sway Bar Upgrade for Lifted Tahoe?

    As part of my suspension rebuild, I am also considering upgrading my stock sway bars. I plan to put a 4" lift on my 2009 Tahoe most of the posts I have found in the forums about sway bars have been with those that are lowering their vehicle. What brand sway bars would you recommend for a lifted...

    Snorkel Fit?

    I am considering installing a snorkel for my 2009 Tahoe with the 5.3. Seems like from what I read the best fit will be snorkels made for the 80 series Land Cruisers. Has anyone found a better fit for the 2007-14 Tahoes?

    Spohn the only one for upgraded rear control arms?

    I found these rear control arms from Apoc, but I have found no opinions on them on Tahoes/Yukons. https://apocindustries.com/collections/chevy/products/1999-20219-chevy-tahoe-suburban-rear-adjustable-control-arms
