Hi guys I have a 2003 Tahoe I just bought, previous owner said it’s lowered 1 inch in front and 3 inch in rear. I put Belltech street performance shocks all 4. Do I need to do free travel mod ? It does bottom out sometimes . He also said he put shorter bump stops from Belltech . Part #4925 . Feels a little bouncy also at times in the rear . Any suggestions on what else to do to improve ride ?

If it’s bottoming out with new shocks it sounds like the springs are soft. Do you know if he used lowering springs or cut or torched the factory springs? I think a 3” drop is on the edge of doing the free travel mod.

@Doubeleive has quite a bit of experience with 800’s.

I really do not have much input, maybe post up some pictures so we can see what looks like
no telling what the previous owner did, they could have cut things just for looks and gave a crap about the ride or handling
