Blazed's 2011 Tahoe Build

[Modded]

No thread jack, but all the info is in here anyway.lol
After reading I am ready to start planning for my drop, but I need a little help.
So I started putting aside for my drop. Which will be 2/3 daily driven.

Since I have 55k miles:

Front:
Belltech SP drop struts at -2inch


Rear:
Belltech 5305 coils with 1.5 inch spacer
Bilstein 5100 shocks
Also no shock extenders because of shorter 5100 shocks like Modded has.
Atleast I believe they are shorter.


I think this would be a good start to do it right and save some $$$ at the same time.
I just can't find the shorter 5100's

I had sent a message to Modded, but thats before I read what went down.

I will respond to you because I have not turned off my *** and VMs and don't want to ignore a direct question because of Tony and the Admin.
First off, with the 5305s you want a 1" spacer to be able to get to a 3" drop. A 1.5" spacer will take you to right over 2.5".
You want 5100 universal shocks. They are not a direct replacement since they are shorter.
The part number is: BE5-6252-H5 5100
Everything else you posted is fine.

Hey Neo.......Hey Bud....

Is this the part number I can use too if I am lowered just 2 inches in the rear?

The part number is: BE5-6252-H5 5100

I believe the regular 5100 shocks are actually LONGER right?

Because they say "0-1 inch lift"........So they would be slightly longer to accommodate the extra lift some people do. Right?

Yeah the regular replacement ones are longer.
For your amount of drop, you could get part number BE5-A463-H5 5100, or run the ones I have with extenders.

Goodinblack only has two inch drop tho?

 

[Goodinblack]

Yes.

 

[Blazed]

If anything wouldn't he need longer shocks than yours...?

 

[Goodinblack]

Hmm.

The recommended A463s are longer than the 6252s I run.

 

[Blazed]

Oh hmm

 

[Goodinblack]

Wait, so since I am not on my meds today, what should I get again?

PN Please.

I only have a 2 inch drop and will never go lower, maybe back to stock, but never lower.
