Blazed's 2011 Tahoe Build

[Goodinblack]

Put it all back to stock, like Yates.



Just Kidding.

Hey Josh, have you asked Tony what he thinks about all this. He is the suspension master when it comes to BellTech.

Maybe you just got a bad batch of shocks and/or springs.

Have you seen a Tahoe with 24" not lowered?
If you have or haven't still take a look lol.
Then tell me again to take it back to stock.
Not happening ill make this work.

Yes, and it looks Gay.

I was JK. See my post ^^^^

Yeah guys I do have the RK2007 kit. I bought it as a package with the rear DJM 5" coils. I did not install the hardware kit until months later though. The sway bar relocators are a bit helpful, but the trailing arm relocators aren't worth the money. I installed mine to push the rear tires further back and allow for a bigger wheel and tire setup. Apart from that, those trailing arm relocators are useless.
At $175, the rear hardware kit is not worth it unless you are in a situation like me.
And Blazed you are right, McG does make a rear hardware kit also. I forgot that for some reason. Either way, they do not serve much of a purpose.
I also have unbiased reviews of products because I am not sponsored or sell any parts for any of these companies
Even if I did, I would still tell the truth about parts when it comes to quality.

If I were to sell parts I'd just sell a combo of the best stuff haha
But since people don't do that I'm not stuck in this situation.

I feel like at 5 or 6 inches you might need to relocate the trailing arms just because they would almost be touching the frame at ride height.
But at 2 or 3 inches you could just get the spohn kit with adjustable trailing arms to fix the rear wheel well centering.
Eventually I will get the spohn kit and take off the relocators.

The Spohn kit for anything less than a 4" drop is a complete waste of money if you are paying full price. Why would you want to pay $350+ for the Spohn bars when you can just use axle relocators for such a small drop?
Also, the trailing arm is not going to touch the frame even at 6" of drop. The Spohn kit is mainly for increased handling and axle centering for very low drops (like bags).

 

[Blazed]

Because the axle relocators make the trailing arm hang down all ugly on a 3" drop. Probably not on a 5" drop tho.

And because I would also want increased handling.

 

[Modded]

They hang down from the relocators on a 5" drop is not visible unless you are laying down beside my car.
The Spohn control arms bars do not increase the handling as much as an aftermarket panhard and sway bar do. I can name a lot of things you should drop that money on over those bars. Plus, even though your handling may be increased, if you hit those corners too fast the Tahoe will be on its side regardless.
