Wow, Modded.

I can honestly say I have NEVER seen or heard about these before.

I will definitely look into it.

Thanks.

Just tell em you're going to cross drill and slot their mom IN your Tahoe. that should shut em up. I'm a bad influence and you should not listen to me...

Yeah I do not know what I was thinking not to link those a long time ago. I was going to run them with 5100s before I bought the Belltech front struts, but decided that it would cost too much that way. That's when I decided to do the Belltech struts and switch the rears to 5100s and save some $$$.
Now on a whole different issue, Blaze asking me my total drop the other day got me thinking.
I know my front 2.75" drop amount is correct, but my rear current drop height was based off of my DJM drop height and I think that estimation was flawed. Basically, since I was already dropped with DJM products when I bought all my current drop materials (5305s), I added the difference in height I noticed after installing the 5305s to the amount the DJM coils did to come up with a total amount. That amount turned out to be wrong.
I measured my height today (with an empty tank) and I am at an even 33.75" in the fronts and 35" in the rear. That means my DJM drop coils were exactly a 4" drop and my 5305s are more of a 4.25" drop, not 4.75" like I thought it was.
To correct this I just ordered some Belltech TB 4230 coils. Hopefully the ride with these new ones is on par (or better) than the 5305s with the 5100s. Also, the new coils should even out my rear rake within .25".
Anybody who want 5305s for a good price hit me up!

Haha I need rehab.
They are not progressive but have a higher spring rate (and are taller) than the old DJM springs I had so they should ride better and not bounce around.
may also throw in some helper bags to avoid rubbing.

Ill be awaiting your response.
I think this may end like this
"Don't fix what isn't broken"
