Rubbing trailing arm still

[WHITEOUT]

ya, pickup the adjustable rear lower control arms, have thread somewhere. can't remember haven't been on forum in awhile!!! need to start coming back on more!!!
As for rear hardware kit, arm brackets, just move control arm back upwards to OEM placement. IMO, doesn't "need" to be used, but helps bring lower control arm into correct location. I still haven't gotten upper rear adjustable control arms yet, so I can fully put axle by moving it backwards into correct position.
Ghost- rigs looking good bro!! liken how low it looks with cut springs. I grinding m
ine alittle to get 1/2" lower, but might cut some dead coils as well. just worried it will be TOO soft.

I need to post new pick, ride looks alittle different now ;-)

very nice link Norcal SS. those uppers are what I want/need now.
BUT..... You can get the panhard bar and rear lower control arms for more then half the price less , by getting some made. Just 4 link adjustable bars really. I had mine custom made, adjustable, with poly bushings., just like Spohns, for $50 apiece. only difference is panhard bar isn't "on car" adjustable!! so what really, once u set it, won't have to again. just metal threaded tubing, adjustment nuts, poly greasable bushings, and welds were top notch!!! IMO, just as good, and price is way cheaper by getting some made by a air ride company. I like Spohns stuff, and not downing there products at all. just can't justify price for the panhard, and lower control arms, and just letting people know they have other options.
Just my .02¢ on it.

cant wait to see the new look.. i have been playing around with a lot of dif set ups for my susp. right now it is riding better than anything so far. spindles, keys, and bt drop shocks in front. keys are cranked exactly half way.. rear is pretty soft, but i needed the soft ride with these rough ass roads i live on lol. the DJM TB coils were way to stiff for me.

I know ive hit u up in the past about them rear adj arms but i dont remember where you got them. PM the info on that if you still have it.. i NEED to get them lol rubbing bad..

Hey Ghost, did you ever get this figured out? I'm having the same issue now and I'm pissed!

yes i did. i still havent done the proper fix but i ended up grinding down the upper trailing arm bracket a bit, not much, just enough to not rub for now. when i get off my ass, ill buy the same adj panhard bar that whiteout had made. you can allways go the sophn route but then your really looking at about tripple the price.

 

[NJ04HOE]

That's what I was thinking about doing too. I'll get the spohn later but for now I'll use the grinder.
Thanks

Tahoe is looking good Ghost!! Love that look, white w/ black accent!! Man, I love the way mine looks now, but do miss that style. Good job bro. Cool u got it temporarily fixed. But ya, u need a panhard bar to move those wheels over. Like I said, Spohns sh$t is really nice, n they take the guess work out of it. But when u can save yourself half the cost by getting some made. Sh$t, ill have $350, once I get Spohns upper arms into the same setup that would cost $600 thru Spohn. Could get the Del Sphere bushings added n still save money. Just saying, that's a tune, and not downing anyone for getting them!!! Im not cheap, just like having more then 1 option, and I really like money, haha . Almost a year since I got mine, still working great, no issues

thanks whiteout! im really needing to change something tho. I like the look myself, and although a lot of people consider it "played out" i think it comes down to how well its executed. Anyone can throw some chrome or black or polished wheels on a car, but if it doesnt flow it dont look right. I do need to do something to her to set if off a lil dif than the rest. Just at the point of where i dont wanna put any more money into it! LOL or maybe Im just getting tired of her i guess, maybe because I now drive 3 times as far to work everyday and gas is starting to wear on me, and because im about to roll 100k! so now im worried about problems and so on.

haha sorry for the rant! been at work since 5am and had a whole pot of coffee!

This is the first truck/car ive owned that ive never stopped putting money into! Its never ending! Every other vehicle, I drop it, put some rims on it, maybe change a few other things and call it good. Then sell it after a year or 2. This one for some reason im just never satisfied with. Ive had numerouse set ups for suspensions and just cant dial it in. Still rides rough, a few squeeks that i cant find on the outside and inside, but Its hard to part with cuz shes payed off and only has a 96k. Also, they arent selling anywhere near their value around here... theres 1000s of them on craigslist

I'll second this!! Once I started going from a twice a month fill up to a 6 times a month fill up, it definitely started to wear on the wallet. The only difference is mine has 175k on it. It has little squeaks and such and I'm starting to get more from the interior than anywhere else. Oh well. I still enjoy it and I've committed myself to keeping it for a while. to fix the gas problem, I got a beater. Now I don't wear on it anymore, yay
