I have a 2000 tahoe LT 4wd, i just installed my custom 5305s plus one inch. I am looking for some advice. This is my first drop! I love this ISH.....and this forum. This is my set up thus far.

Front: 2" drop spindles, belltech sp shocks, new left and right OEM upper and lower control arms, and new MOOG end links.

Rear: Tony's custom 5305 3" drop coils, belltech sp shocks, djm endlinks and bump stops.

Tires and Rims: 305/40/22 with chrome 7 spoke 22" Epics. I am painting the rims black soon. I NEED CENTER CAPS. All of my research is telling me they are discontinued. I found 1 on ebay for $45. I have 1 that is cracked, i just need 4.

The ride still seems a bit harsh. I am lost now. I thought ive done everything right for a smooth ride. I am going to torque my torsion bar to make the front level with the rear. Although i do like the rake. I was thinking it might help with the ride also. Any advice and insight my Brothers is most welcome. Thanks in advance Rob

1) If you didnt cut the bracket off the rear and still have bumpstops in remove the bumpstops just pull them out and go for a ride arond the block. If ride improves then you will either have to cut the bumpstops down more or do the free travel mod.

2) Did you only torque the rear endlinks to 30 lbs? if you overtorque they bind.


On 305 40 22 what does it sit from ground to fenderlip?

I did cut for free travel. I did not know only 30 lbs torque, but i tightened enough to still spin the bolt. I will check and adjust the torque tho. I will also measure and get back with you. Thanks very much for the info. Also the bump stops are 1.5inches.....there is plent of space....like 3 to 4 inches.

yup unloosen the nuts and torque it to 30 lbs.

you did move the drivers side bradcket over 1 inch so swaybar gets moved over right?

 

[00 TAHOE LT "LUTHER"]

Yep i moved it....it wasnt 1 inch tho it was more like 1.75.....i moved it just enough to line up with the end links

pass side bar shoudl be the one that has more twist and the swaybar sits on the outside of the pass side endlink not inside.
