Bilstein shocks lowered the rear

[UGA Tahoe]

I bought bilsteins shocks and installed them this morning and noticed the rear of my trucked lowered a little bit. My original shocks were the HD style. I also have a 2/3 mcgaughys lowering kit. The rear of my truck now looks a little lower then the front. Not to happy about it right now. Has anybodyelse ever had this problem?

I measured the front and rear. The front is about 3/4 inch higher on both sides.

That's weird. I've heard of OEM shocks keeping the rear end up a little, but not the Bilstein HD compared to non-HD.

Yeah. Probably going to install one inch lowering keys for the front to make it look better.

May end up being a blessing in disguise.

Have you tried adjusting yours down yet? Yuo might get pretty close


let me know if you need any help if you get new keys... I have the tool to pull the keys.

Nice, I might have to hit you up because I really don't know how to do it.

Takes no time at all. You'll need an alignment afterwards though.


I'm off tomorrow if you want to hit me up and we can try to adjust the stock keys you have now
