hey is there anyone who has done some major mods to their Tahoes' for hauling heavy trailers . (42'- 38' trailer) ?
Does anyone the the spring rates or load rate of the front bars ?
I have a few ideas , I measured 1 ton 4x4 torsion bars , they are 54" , the Tahoe's are 52 1/2" ,the hex heads are same . There is that much "socket" left on the lower control arms . I could possibly use the 3/4 ton bars if they were up too the job (Nose Dive on stops) of stopping . The rear end will have to go . I thought a Rr. end from a Z71 with Discs in the rear . Then convert to High
3's or low4's. I'll be running 285/16"-17" tire and wheel .
I also mulling a Diesel (I have alot of money in it now and won't get it back)
So I'm looking at a few options for it , plus I just wan't to build .
