Blazed's 2011 Tahoe Build

[Modded]

What was your experience with the pedders front coils?

They rode good at first, then went south from there. They dropped the front a nice amount, but rode like complete ass the last few weeks I had them. They rode so bad that heading into rough roads I would clench my jaws. I hated the front coils so bad I could not wait till remove them. I blame some of that on the stock shock though. With better aftermarket shocks, the front ride would probably be a lot better.

And what spindles would you recommend?

That answers that.

Haha yeah I am posting answers so fast that we are going back and forth minute to minute.

So pedders got a win in the rear and a big fail in the front. Interesting. Although I do think your experience was the shock be cause that other guy loves his.
He even has pedders on his camaro

But how much drop did you get from rear pedders coils?

 

[Modded]

Yeah it was a massive win in the rear, and completely opposite in the front. I just wish they made a lower coil and I would have kept theirs.
Pedders is known for their quality. A lot of people with Chargers and Camaros use them like you mentioned.

The Pedders kit dropped me about 2.5/3.2 total. It left about a good 1.5" of rake that I did not like.

 

[Blazed]

But how much drop do they give I've read different things?
And I wish I had the money to try a pedders/bilstein setup in the front...

Your current setup is bell tech front struts...what did you do with your HDs?

So if I had mcgs spindles and pedders rear I'd have 2/3.2 which would be perfect for me!

I would like to be low like you but ride quality is so high on my priorities I can't justify it.

 

[Modded]

The drop amount they give is the amount that I posted. Back when I bought the kit, it was also the amount they had on their site. They have changed the site now so I do not know what it shows as now.
I sold my HDs to a member on here that was banned unjustly (long story) two and a half years ago. His user name was Exconn.
If ride quality is really important, than front spindles and rear Pedders/Bilstein with shock extenders is perfect for you. You will love it.

 

[Blazed]

Ok then that's the route ill go!

The rear Bilstein HD part number is BIL F4-BE5-E375-H0

Two different front part numebers

and then only one rear one
BSN-24-186933

Are these correct?

Gett hem from www.ajusa.com
They are cheaper there and part numbers are consistent with the Bilstein application guide.

Ok I'll look when I get home because my school has that site blocked....tf

 

[Blazed]

Is it possible to "de-4x4" my Tahoe?
