New member with level questions

[PMWZ71]

Hi,
New member here. I have recently made the switch from Silverado to Tahoe. I sold my nmbs Silverado and bought a 07 Z71 Tahoe 4wd. I am familiar with leveling kits as I have had my last 2 silverados leveled.

I just put on the Tahoe a rough country 2" front level (same thing I had on my trucks). I have noticed that with this level the rear is technically 1/4" higher on level ground with no passengers or added weight. But if those scenarios change it definitely has a slight rear lean.
Has anyone used the day star 3/4" rear coil spacer with this set up? I think that going with a 1" rear will give me too much rake with having a
Front lift of 2" and not the 2.5" that I see a lot running on here. My goal is to slightly lift the rear back up with a slight rake. Thanks in advance for the input.

Peter

Not sure how many miles are on your tahoe and if its stock rear suspension, but I have 150K on mine and it sagged in the back with the stock springs and 2" RC kit.

Put the MOOG 81069 springs out back with a fresh set of shocks and it sits a tad higher in the rear. I picked up almost an 1.5" in the rear. the rear spacer should work, but might want to just refresh the suspension before you mask worn out components with a spacer.

I have 80k miles and brand new bilsteins I think the 4600 series.

Drop a 1/2-3/4" spacer in the rear from ebay and call it done.

When installing the rear spacer, do you re-use the factory rubber/polyurethane seat (if there is one) or do you eliminate it?

 

[01Konvict]

Remove bottom shock bolts and sway bars. Lower axle and get coils loose. Slide in coil spacer on bottom of spring with rubber isolator on top of spacer.

Well I'm hopefully going to order a rear spacer here soon.

What is your current rear measurement from ground to fender. Thanks

Akbrener. What is the measurement from floor to fender in the rear with the moog springs?
