the 456s wont help keep the tires planted, but some CalTracs are in order ;)
My tires chirped from the 1 2 shift with the stock g80 and 373s. If you downshifted at the right time it would really lock em up hahaha

For those who dont know what caltracs are..

Those CalTracs are nice, though I'm not sure they make them for our trucks.

Here is a link for the DIYer for some track bars like CTs

As for chirping the tires. I can remember getting on the highway from a stop and chirping 1/2, it only happened once, though I really dont drive that aggressive often. Every now and then I feel the need, when I see an open road from a red lite.

Our leaf springs are not the same length as 1500 pickup trucks.
Tahoes have 27" from eye to center of leaf and 1500s are 32". Basically they'll be too long.
Did you order them?

haha. When i originally bought my truck it came with a set of traction bars.
It was a terrible design on the manufactures part, but they works good after i had everything rewelded.

Same concept as the caltracs but the welds were super ****** and i had to cut the bars for the flip kit..
