i wanna lower and get sway bars for the truck, and i wanted the DJM ultimate cornering kit, but im not gonna get a spare $2k for the kit and installation for a LOOOOONG time. so i was looking at this kit

https://www.tirerack.com/suspension...el=Tahoe+2wd+(New)&autoYear=2001&autoModClar=

i know its not gonna be AS good as the DJM kit, but its 1/2 the price, so its hard to resist, and im not gonna be racing the truck on a track or something, so maybe the DJM kit is a bit overkill. does anyone have input on the eibach parts and perhaps some pics of the drop? i still have the OEM rims like this

so maybe if anyone has drop pics on a truck with those rims? (maybe?) thanks all!!!

I have the Eibach kit on my denali, and like it a lot. it comes with the bars for the leveling system, and everything.

I HIGHLY recommend the sway bars. #1 best upgrade I did on my truck.

Swear they saved my life swerving on the interstate the other day.

honestly the truck will ride better on the belltech kit. Thats why i no longer use eibach plus the rear didnt lower the guys trucks i put the kit in as advertised.

Here check out this set up

if you do anythign do the bars from them but the rest of the items id do a belltech 2/3 drop

id get the belltech kit, and the DJM bars, but thats like $950 just for the parts... thats a lot for me right now, thats why i was looking at the eibach kit... not sure what to get lol. im sure i could do the sway bars by myself, but id want the lowering done by someone, and id need alignment as well... is it true that the sway bar end links are different for lowered and stock height vehicles? because if i could do the sway bars now and lowering later with no big added expense, i may be able to do that.

Eibach bars are 350 about shipped alone. that kit ther with shipping will be over 600.

if you want I have djm keys and the rear belltech springs for $295 shipped.

I just really dont like using torsion keys plus the 2/3-4 kit looks a lot better and rides better because you use spindles so no travel is lost plus in rear the springs ride better

ill probably grab the belltech kit later. i was wanting the eibach kit more for the sway bars. im interested in the DJM bars tho. like i said, ive read about issues with end link length for stock height vs lowered end links? also, will there be a big difference in handling with stock height and DJM bars?
