Thanks all for the info.

How much do the belltech and DJM spindles push the wheels out?

Decisions...Decisions...

Also 2" is the most I want to go with in the front. Should I just consider the drop struts instead? Is it just a matter of installing a new strut? Thanks

you can just install the strut yes if you have high miles on the truck that would be a good option also.

I currently have 41K on the truck, and know I will need new shocks eventually. I was planning on just doing them all at the same time though. Do you have positive opinions on the struts in terms of ride as well as durability?

What would be the price for the front strut kit with the belltech rear kit as well as new rear bell tech shocks? Thanks

Pardon my ignorance but how do drop struts actually drop the front and maintain a good ride quality with out replacing the springs as well. Thanks.

Have there been any issues with alignments with the drop struts installed? Thank you all for you info and patience

Tony, are these modified (A Arms) like they setup you had done on the TBSS's? I can vouch for Tony, being a former TBSS guy, having bought things from him before. Very Standup, and he really does answer the phone 24/7. I think I called him at like 5 am his time to ask questions on a saturday morning.....

Thanks tony, after reading thru the instructions it is indicated that some vehicles may not be able to get back factory alignment with out additional parts. Have you found this to be the case with Tahoes? I have new tires and do not want to wear them out due to alignment issues.

with drop struts mated to drop spinldes you need the belltech alignment bushings. ie drop strut at 1 inch drop plus spindles for 2 inch drop 3 inch drop total get the belltech alignment cams. Since your only doing a 2 inch drop (same as if you did a 2 inch drop spring) you will be fine.
