No doubt. Will be done this monday... feels like a completely different truck, in a good way, love it!

Did you get the cornering kit w/ swaybars? If so, how does it corner? I'm looking at the whole kit, but haven't seen anyone running the full kit.

Yeah that's the kit I'm considering. I want all stock spongy bushings gone including the rear with the spohn kit. How would you compare the handling of the full kit with sway bars? Will I be able to hold my own against a Porsche cayanne or Audi q7 in the corners or better? I want to put these soccer moms in their place lol.

you have to understand the tahoe weighs more. Also the auidi and cayanne is a lot better with the strut design.

But with the front/rear swaybars and spohn kit and upper/lower djm a arms set up a lot of sway is taken out of these trucks.

Yeah I know the weight is there. Can't blame a guy for being ambitious lol. I don't just want a low look I want some handling to go with it.

Thanks.. honestly, I can't really tell the difference, might just be me but I don't drive very much. It really just feels like it did when I had 2 inch eibach springs, and I only had my truck for one day while it was all stock so I can't remember the stock ride. I have no complaints.

looks like rear came down some once you cut the bracket off.
