Well, i picked up the tahoe about an hour ago. Here are some pics. The front sits about 34 3/8" and the rear is about 34 1/8". They cut the bumpstop off, but still have not cut the entire bracket. The ride is pretty stiff still, and definitely more bouncy then my 3 inch rear drop. I am most likely going to order the beltech springs from Tony, and try to sell these ones.

Also, i decided to throw the slides on there to change the look up for a bit. I've had these wheels sitting in the garage longer than i have had the tahoe, so i figured i'd give em a try. I know theres a lot of people rollin slides on here, but around town, i haven't seen anyone yet.

THe belltech springs do ride better hopefully we get you rolling good again.

Thanks, the front is a 2 inch drop. i used to have a 2/3 and only changed the rear 3 inch to a 4 inch drop hoping to level it out.

Tony, i do not have shock extenders, but have shorter shocks. I will have to get under the car tomorrow to see what shocks i have. I had bilsteins before but had them replaced a few months back but completely forgot what they swapped them out for. I have the rear djm hardware kit as well.

Do you know how low the rear sits with the beltechs. I am running 24's with 305/35/24?

Gotta have shock extenders that low, I'd say. Probably doesn't matter that your shocks are shorter-- you're so low that I'd bet the shorter shocks can't work properly without extenders.
