    Lowering my 2024 RST Premium

    Come on, is a one inch drop worse than towing 24/7, with the thing loaded down? Magnusson Moss says warranty impact would be limited to suspension. And unmodified components not affected would still be covered. So, yes, control arms and links could be stressed by lowering, but highly unlikely...

    Lowering my 2024 RST Premium

    I would think it wouldn't. Aftermarket parts are protected. And an inch is nothing. Try one of these: https://www.belltech.com/products/belltech/lowering.html

    2023 Tahoe Premier towing issues, no air ride

    Yeah, I'm sure the air ride is great until you have to repair it. If they had been transparent about the shortcomings of a tow vehicle rated to 8000# and offering a max tow package, I would have ordered it. IF they offered it on RST. Ridiculous that it is High Country only. It's just really poor...

    2023 Tahoe Premier towing issues, no air ride

    No, it's totally GM's bad for releasing a tow vehicle to the market with a Max Tow option and not designing the IRS geometry right. Must be one of those cheap recent graduates they hired... Try these: https://kingshocks.com/i-30503082-25001-391-2021-chevy-tahoe-suburban-2-5-rear-shocks.html?q=

    GDE tune for LM2

    Unlikely. GM locked them down pretty hard. And if there is a fingerprint, then there is probably a systemwide monitor. They don't have to prevent it, just detect it. Volvo has a bunch of stupid modules that require purchase of software to update or sometimes even to replace. Would be nice if...

    Like new stock Yukon Denali tires for sale

    Sold! Thanks, Jock. Can't beat $680 for 4 tires and installation. If these tires wear as well (minus Chevy's generous negative camber while towing), I'll be looking to do this next time.

    2022 Tahoe aftermarket airbags for towing - do they exist?

    There are not and likely never will be air bags for IRS on the Tahoe. Hybrid shocks are the best we'll get.

    2022 Tahoe aftermarket airbags for towing - do they exist?

    Can you not lift the truck by adjusting the spring stops? Might have to use stiffer springs, depending on what they ship with, but theoretically would move the compression up two inches from current.

    Finally! https://www.belltech.com/products/belltech/leveling/belltech-0-2-quot-height-adjustable-rear-leveling-coilover-kit-15113.html Now I gotta start saving my pennies, because they are stupid expensive.

    Tow squat and IRS: bad combo?

    Survey says... -0.1 degrees of camber per 100# of load on stock suspension with Tow Max... Empty camber is specified -0.4/-0.5 degrees (but my alignment specialist said GM have like a +/-1.0 tolerance?!), so with a load, we push -1.5 to -1.8 degrees, which I can confirm from direct experience on...

    How do I get my Tahoe to ride/handle like my 3500HD?

    For sure, the hill descent BS is ridiculous. Like dangerous ridiculous, especially trying to hook up a trailer. And I have not found a way to disable it. But in normal driving, I really don't feel the stability control when I'm hooning around in sport mode. And the stability control in my Volvo...

    How do I get my Tahoe to ride/handle like my 3500HD?

    Interesting. I'd have to check the specs on the LS, but i find it highly unlikely the results would truly be the same if the tires are wider and have shorter sidewalls and the dampers are upgraded. Maybe different days, different weather, rubber build up, moisture... I can drive awfully stupid...

    How do I get my Tahoe to ride/handle like my 3500HD?

    He has 18's. On 22's, mine is stupid good handling, and it's an RST, so no air.

    How do I get my Tahoe to ride/handle like my 3500HD?

    Yeah, I never suggested wider tires, just stiffer sidewalls. It always depends, but it was amazing what I had to do to my Volvo C70 with 17" rims to get similar feel to a friend's with 18". 18's were undesirable, as he had already destroyed a couple wheels because of the 45 series sidewall, and...

    Tow squat and IRS: bad combo?

    I would expect so, but my tires beg to differ. We'll see what the alignment shop says this week. Taking it to the guys the Porsche and BMW clubs recommend, since they do a good job on my modified Volvo C70, smh. I don't know of any other good shops.

    How do I get my Tahoe to ride/handle like my 3500HD?

    I feel like just lower profile tires on larger wheels will accomplish much of this, but couldn't say whether 20" would be enough or need to go to 22"

    Tow squat and IRS: bad combo?

    Well, I thought the squat was pretty square, but after 2-4 tire rotations, the only capable American dealer the truck has been to informs us our 22" tires have been wearing on the inside edge. They are pretty even and the camber spec only goes to -0.5 degrees, so I'm guessing camber while loaded...

    Mileage for 21+ Brake replacement

    Our brakes don't squeak, have 30k miles, with like 2/3 towing, and the electronic wear indicator is about 85%. If i were to believe it, seems i will never have to change brakes...

    2022 Tahoe aftermarket airbags for towing - do they exist?

    The air bag appears to replace the coil spring. I'd definitely like to see a review before dropping that much money, but if the big boys are going to ignore the highest volume full size SUV, may have to roll the dice...

    Towing with 2021 Yukon Denali non-Max towing package

    Yep, too heavy. I tow a 2600RB with a 12,000# Equalizer, occasionally with 100# of water, and it's a very solid setup, in spite of an inch of sag in the rear. If you really know what you are doing, travel light, dial your brakes in perfectly, have a very good load distribution hitch, and the...
