Nice, Macky!

I have the Belltech rear springs, but I'm pretty sure I do NOT have shock extenders. Can anyone tell me how they mount? Is there cutting and welding involved? I think I'd like to get some -- but, maybe not if it requires cutting and welding.

Thanks!

They mount to the bottom mount meant for the shocks, then bolt into that area. Afterwards you bolt the shock into the extenders, which gains you 2" of shock travel and ride quality.
You want the Belltech 6651 shock extenders if you order them in the future.

Macky I like it, nice stance for daily driving!

yeah i did it myself, but it was a PITA.would be 1000x's easier with a lift and air tools. i did it with a couple jackstands, factory jack, and a socket set. u need 18, 20, and 22mm sockets if i remember correctly. the shock extenders mount to where the shocks are now. the worst part of the install was getting by the parking brake cable for the new shock location.

2425 was the part number. my tahoe has 4wd, i think awd is just for the denal and esky. took a small road trip this weekend, 2hrs highway each way. i honestly think it rode the same as stock if not better.

nope, right now when the air is completely out of the shocks, like when parked for a few hours it sits level. u can play with the length of the sensor rods to control how much the air ride brings it up. min are set to raise the rear a little b/c when you're on the throttle the front end sits up some. my driver side is at the perfect height. passenger side im gonna bring down just a little. i havent felt like it though. have to jack it up and take the wheel off to do it.

Man that thing looks awesome and is probably the height I'd want.

What wheels are those? Your whole setup looks great!
