Blazed's 2011 Tahoe Build

[Blazed]

I have the spindles in my Tahoe right now just need to order the HD struts and they can both go in. I'm gonna get the spindles powder coated first tho so they don't look all rusty behind my wheels.
The ride is just smoother to me the response time feels right and good.
And yes I am attempting to get new 24"s I think slides unless I find a different wheel that isn't 3k lol

5305 with the 1 inch spacer sat 7/8-1 inch lower lower than the 2425 on ones I did. And always can cut the dead coils if needed to bring it down more on the pedders.

Looking forward to the results

I'm gonna wait and see if they settle down a little because there is nothing wrong with a little extra travel room.

 

[NORCAL SS]

they will settle 1/8 of a inch at most. They are nice springs just sit to high but if you like rake then will be good.

I want about one inch rake because when the wheel wells are level the third window looks like its sagging and it looks bad to me.
Like if I were modded I would have stayed with the 5305 coils because a 3/5 will have the look I explained.

I'm not saying you need a complete inch to get rake its just easier to accomplish than specifics since I don't have autoride ya know.

34.75/35 looks good

with 1 inch drop strut mod in front and rear pedders 2425 the back was about 1/4 inch higher than the front (posted that on the link few days ago which I just did the truck) You like rake so will be perfect for what your after and thats all that matters.

yah i like at least 1/2 inch of rake to 3/4 most. My wife wants the tires tucked like in her old trailblazer ss but im not going to run a 30 series. I dont drive the truck at all during the week friday nights i tow to the street races so theres another reason im not going lower just dont want to get rid of autoride.

I like the 2" drop in the front so eventually ill adjust the back accordingly.
