Driveshaft, Rear control arms and panhard bar?

[jxw004]

I currently have 2.5" spacers and z71 coils on the rear of my tahoe with 3" extend sway bar end links and Bilstien 5100s. The front is 3" knuckles. I am looking to go more but at what point do I need to look at longer rear control arms, Driveshaft (longer or shorter?), and pan hard bar?. This is a 2wd Tahoe by the way so no issues up front.

Don't technically need longer trailing arms but a plus since most lift kits retain stock arms. Most important part is the pan hard bracket. I would say anything over 3" you would need to get one. Down side smallest I've seen is for 6" lift. I would say if you want to go bigger then get a 1.5" body lift unless you want to go all out on a 6-9" lift.

Over 3" you will see axle shift to passenger side. Most lifts (mine does) have rear arm drop brackets so that the stock arms retain stock angle without pulling Axel forward.

I am not a fan of the coil spacers. Articulate and bump a rock and ping spacer and spring fly put.


Any good 6" kit will have: X member drop bracket. Trains drop, dif drop, sway links, rear arm drop brackets. Longer shocks (not those little metal extender crap). Spindels.etc etc
