Blazed's 2011 Tahoe Build

[Modded]

are they the dark grey or light grey 4230 springs?? also how many loops there is a difference between the two.

They should be the dark grey ones but I have not got them in yet. They will be delivered tomorrow.

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.

Plus I've only looked at the truck in the dark we will see what I think tomorrow about the height.

Hopefully it does not look sagged.
It will still have about 1/4" of rake after the 4230s are installed so I may be good.
With the 4230s, a full tank, and 4 passengers, I will probably lean to the rear about 1/4" at most.

yes dark grey 001 is differnet from 002 on them modded you wil see it on the springs.

and blazed yeah talk about major rake looks about 1.5-1.75 higher in rear but you wanted rake so its prob the look you want. Looks different but good.

Hey modded if it isnt too much trouble while you have your truck in the air could you get some shots of your free travel mod with your adjustable bump stops and all that?

 

[Modded]

Yeah I can get pics for you while I'm under there tomorrow.
And Tony, which one do I want?
Dark grey 4302-001 or dark grey 4302-002?

I like the way your Tahoe sits Blazed. You have the best of both worlds right now. A good amount of drop with a good ride.

Your Tahoe is so clean dude.

Forget the Tahoe, his garage is sooo clean

@ Blazed. Before the Pedders springs went in......Did you like the ride with the Bilsteins much better than the BellTech SP shocks?

Also, am I missing something?

Off the truck the BellTech springs look taller, and the Pedders springs look shorter............On the truck the Pedders springs clearly have the rear sitting higher and offer a lot of rake

 

[NORCAL SS]

the thickness of the coils are bigger on the pedders springs so even being a little shorter than the belltechs they sit higher due to this fact ie spring rate. Also the top 4 or 5 coil springs are also dead when installed on the truck they just sit on eachother.

been while since i measured but i think was 4mm difference between the 5305 and 2425 on the spring. They claim it as a 3+ spring but i think its more like a 2.75 at max. 1 inch front drop and this spring in the rear the truck sits about even.

Yes even with the belltech coils still in I enojoyed the ride much more with bilstein shocks installed. If I was you I'd get bilsteins and call it a day.

Where have you guys been buying the shocks from? Curious as to what you guys get for pricing shipped since i see shock warehouse has some good deals on them
