SUP ALL,

I got an 02 Tahoe , 2.5 drop , 20" rims
i purchased the truck this way and the ride is a bit rough , i feel all the potholes and bumps a bit to much,i live in NYC so u can imagine

this is my dilemma
im gonna get her some new shocks and i kind of want to lift her back up but not sure , i got the og springs to do it , but i heard many stories that when lifting it back up to og specs , you need to take into account ,
extra weight , gas tank filled or not , shocks rim size etc,,,
and it can be a long process to make sure she is 100% leveled
dont know how true this is

so i want to do 1 of 2 things

1.buy new shocks and call it a day
or
2.lift her back up wit the og springs along wit some new shocks

also
what shocks do you all recommend wit and without the drop

a bit frustrated , i hope i explained my dilemma

thanks

I like my belltech street performance shocks on a dropped tahoe. Some guys up here like the billsteins. Either way, I would talk to Tony (NORCALSS) on getting the best deal. I think he perfers DJM shocks on certain applications.

few questions

1) what drop parts are you using on front
2) what drop parts are you using in rear
3) is it a autoride truck

Shoot me that and I can dial in something for you.
