Check to see which springs they are.. does this dealer install it also?

Hi guys I just lowered my 04 tahoe the front lowered 3 inches but the back only lowered 2. I'm just wondering why it would only lower two inches in the back if I got a 3/5 drop. I any suggestions would surely help.

What kit are you using?

What rear parts?
springs?
shocks?
etc?

Wish i could get to people to set them up with my 5-6 inch rear kit before they spent money elsewhere.

It was a used kit I found online. The shocks look stock so guess stock shocks.

 

[NORCAL SS]

ok what kit was used?

what springs are they?
are you using shock extenders?
trailing arm relocators?
swaybar relocators?
did you cut the bracket off the frame for more travel which is needed when going more than 3?

The kit came in a mcgaughys box. All I did was install the drop springs and the shock extenders and removed the bump stops

 

[NORCAL SS]

you got the 3 inch spring not 5.

for the 5 inch kit you need
swaybar endlink relocators
trailing arm relocators
shorter shocks
the spring

If you decide you want the rear to be dropped and ride right here you go

Ok thanks for the reply. I'll be looking into it

no problem. 5 inch drop there are more parts involved becuase you cut the bracket off the frame and if you dont move the swaybar over it ends up hitting the panhard bar bracket and on top of that your swaybar is pointing towards the ground where as the new djm links it brings it back up.

Did you remove the brakcet in the rear or just pull the bumpstops out? If you have 5 inch springs it would hit the bumpstop bracket hard all the time with the rear bumpstops pulled out.
