I have a 2016 Tahoe LTZ (with autoride) with a 2/4 (3.5) drop installed and on 24" wheels. The rear still sits approx. 1-1.25" higher.

Will this 6" drop spring (5" for autoride) be enough to make the front and rear fender spacing equal?

Originally purchased and installed 2/3 kit (Front spindles/Rear springs with shock extenders) from mcgaughys, but later replaced rear springs with Belltech's 4" drop springs (3.5" for autoride).

Are they the 5305 coils?
Did you use the spacer?
Did you cut bracket off frame?
Did you do my endlink/bumpstop kot?
Are you using extenders?

- Belltech coil spring kit 34324. According to parts list, they are 5305-001 springs.

- Did not use spacer (I know this will only increase the height of rear).

- Did not cut off bracket from frame. I'm using Belltech bumpstop that came with kit (shorter than stock). I don't want to cut off bracket. There is approx. 1" gap between Belltech bumpstop and bracket on axle. I did a road trip with 4 other adults and completely filled remaining space with gear (up to the ceiling), and the ride was awesome. The autoride did it's job well. I would be willing to cut Belltech stop shorter if necessary.

- Did not buy your endlink/bumpstop kit. Will there be huge difference in ride performance?

- Using extenders.

Took this shot about a month ago. Not the greatest, but at least you can see the annoying gap difference between front and rear.

1) remove upper spring insulator and the the 5\8 heater hose mod I've been doing on them

2) my autoride links to get it to sit lower

3) you will need to cut bracket off frame to get a decent ride if going lower.

4) my endlink kit will fix the away bar angle for better ride and cornering and will need my bumps top if cutting off bracket


Attached one done recently. My custom 2/4.5 kit
