If I do a 3" drop in rear all i need to do is replace the bumpstop ?
if I do a 4" drop All I need to do is cut the bumpstop bracket right off?
thats all I need or what am I missing ?

its 2007 tahoe ls no autoride going to get the belltech springs and shocks considering I have a 100,000 miles
m concern is ride quality I dont want any rough riding lowered bounce just a smooth close to oem ride as possible,I see all the talk about swaybars and bushings etc,and just wondering what I exactly need for this
thanks for the help

I think on a 4" drop you need to remove the bumpstop bracket and your mileage you should think about new shocks look around at some post for the best ones to buy alot of opinions on rear shocks

Tony, what's the belltech part # for just the rear 3-4" coils? I need to find someone up here in Canada that will sell me pair, cheap.....and all I need is just the rear coils and spacers.
Thanks
Kelly

You're not lowering the front at all? Your truck is going to "sag" in the rear.

I'd get an alignment if you do any substantial lowering.
