Blazed's 2011 Tahoe Build

[Modded]

You will still lose turning radius but not much. The BT one also cuts down turning radius a bit too. My McG ones were only $225 brand new. That was in early 2010 though.
And yeah the forum has been dead lately.

))); I like my radius.

Which one more affect turning radius?

Is 200 shipped a good deal for used ones?

 

[Modded]

I don;t know which one would affect radius more because I have not have both of them, but the McG ones are not bad. I recommend buying whichever one you can find cheaper.
Here is the Belltech one for under $250 new http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silverado-B...Parts_Accessories&hash=item25780e8cd9&vxp=mtr

Found the same deal on mcgaughys.
I'm gonna save the 50 and get the used ones and powder coat them with that 50

Modded do you have to trim the ball joint in order to install these?

 

[Modded]

You mean lower ball joint stud, and no I did not trim them because I have 24s. To run 17s they will need trimming though.
You will need to trim the top ball joint stud because you have 4wd and the CVs will be in the way.

Awesome build man!

 

[Goodinblack]

So you do lose turning radius with both?

No but look at the back of that truck.
Notice it didn't move.
I have changed my mind about the shocks now I think.
Something about the hardware kit has made them feel stiff AF now.
I don't know what to think I can't wait for the bilsteins to come in.

I liked the ride better without the hardware kit and bump stops in.
I just am disappointed really a waste of 500 dollars.

Ah but modded I'm removing them. Although they have already been trimmed from a previous lowering attempt.

 

[Goodinblack]

I don't get it......why it would be stiffer..... I mean.

The hardware kit just moves the trailing arms and the sway bar around.
