Body flexing issues with 2001 tahoe

[HK-DEMON-]

ive currently owned my tahoe now for 5 years and never had an issue up to now. I believe i have body flexing an uncommon thing i guess (atleast thats what i was told) anyways ive been told that their might be a crack in the frame can anybody on this forum back that up or anybody have any GOOD suggestions to what it might be?? and also i would like to add, when im driving and get to a complete stop it feels as if the body moves forward and then back in place just a small forward movement then back again.

I have a clean title in hand never been in a major collision accident, that i know of. I have 24" inch wheels with 305 tires, stock in height. I hope someone can help me, i have also posted pictures.

Have you looked at the frame to check for any cracks? I would jack the truck on one corner at a time and look for cracks, jacking it up should spread any cracks apart making them easier to see.

I`ve never seen anything like that happen before, Good luck.

Very strange. Do you live in an area prone to rust? Good luck with everything

That area next to the battery doesn't look right. That seam should be in one piece where the bolt is...looks like someone cut through it and that bolt is now isolated. Does the other side by the air box look the same? I've heard of floating barrels, but not a floating chassis.

I've seen this before in police tahoe's, never in personal one's. You must drive like a mad man.

24s could have something to do with it too, they are so heavy and it's also almost a 10 year old truck....

Still though, it shouldnt do that. I drive mine like crazy off road and nothing like this at all. same year too. very strange indeed

well i live in northern california, could be,not to be harsh or anything but what does that have to do with body flexing if i may ask.

yes both sides are the same.

wow never seen that

no not really, but i wish i could with a supercharger

yes i have been told but soooo many cars carry aftermarket wheels and dont have issues like mine, so i say wheels dont have anything to do with this problem.

yes, strange indeed.

Bad cab mounts? that would be my guess.
