All,
My tahoe has approx 105k miles, and with these bigger vehicles the suspensions at that point are towards the end of their useful service life. I've decided to keep this car for another 100k, and I'm willing to put some money into the suspension & brakes to get it back up to par.
I've noticed that when the car takes on a pothole in the street, it's pretty loud inside the cabin, but it doesn't really vibrate. Otherwise it's pretty good, there is no excessive bouncing, noise, or shaking. The car is aligned well.
I'm thinking of the following upgrades:
1. new shocks front and rear, bilstein 5100(might as well replace the struts????)
2. Leveling kit front and rear, Truxx 2" front, 1" rear
3. Front and rear sway bars, Moog???
4. new control arms, no sure what brand (or would this be a waste???)
5. 17x9 wheels, 285/70/17 BF Goodrich All Terrains
Whole goal would be to get the stance looking like this below:
Are there any additional suspension components that I should consider replacing to better the ride? Or items that you would change?
Thank you.
