So far, I have the Ford keys for up front, the shock extenders for the rear and the Nitro drop shocks. Allz I need are the springs to complete the 2/3. What are my choices? I'd rather have it favor better handling than plush comfort. But I'll probably end up letting my wallet decide.

Belltech and DJM make a 3" spring that should suit you. I believe there is even a 3" version of the 5305 Belltech spring now.

I have the DJM rear springs on my 04 XL. Im really not sure what the part number is but they are 3in and they fit well with my front drop keys.

Ill tell you one thing after I first installed them I really regretted my purchase. The rear bounced around ALOT and I had brand new Nitro2 drop shocks on it. After about a week I purchased the DJM rear hardware kit (my driveshaft was hitting the tailshaft housing on the transmission) and a pair of Airlift 1000 bags. That made a HUGE difference and I am happy with the ride and its been like this for almost 2 years now. I havent seen too many people having to use the hardware kit on the Tahoe and Non XLs but I would definitely buy a set of the helper bags from the start so you dont have to do them after the springs have been installed like I did. Hope this helps.

I have a set of 5323 springs for sale and I believe they are 4" springs but you can use a spacer to make it 3" drop. Need to sell them so I can work on the price.

Yes they should fit the NBS tahoes because they are the same set up in the rear.
