hey i have 2 old trailblazer ones that should fit. I can cut them down to 2.5 inches and then if you want to pay for shipping I can ship it out to you.

@ lynxnova.............

In your OP.............

....I have the 2/3 belltech drop kit on my 2010 tahoe non air-ride. I was bottoming out with the 1" spacers so I swithed to 2" spacers and also cut the bumb stops, but it still bottoms out with just my two kids( 2 and 7 year old).... in the rear...the stance is perfect but I can't stand it when i bottom out.... What can I do to fix this problem...

Your problem is bottoming out. Right? That was why you posted.

With that in mind I do not see how the rear hardware kit or the Bilsteins will provide any any benefit........... towards your problem.

You say you are a 2/3 drop. Then added a 2 inch spacer. Correct?

So your drop is at current point at 2 inch front and 1 inch back, or 2 inch front and 2 inch back?

There is NO need for a hardware kit for a 1 inch drop in the back............

I am running a 2 inch drop in the back and do not have a hardware kit yet.

If you want to stop bottoming out you need to get the airbags first.

Throwing parts like the RK2007 and shocks at the truck, although nice, will not help your original problem.

Also, there is no reason to have the free travel mod running a 1-2 inch rear drop in the back.

I can see it with a more drastic drop, but I would not start cutting up a truck and make irreversible modifications to it with a really mild drop.

Due to what blazed wrote I told him to try out the bilstein shocks. but stops will have to be replaced since they are cut to much. pretty much the bracket hits before the bumpstop can do its job.

@ Tony, at 2 inches? He cut too much of the bumpstop off?

I have your kit, the 2 inch only rear, and I have only replaced the factory bumpstops with the BellTech bumpstops.

I have NO issues with bottoming out with the bags at 20 PSI.

Plus I am a Suburban which = more weight.

You always ride with 20 psi on bags ??

No. At least 10 PSI though, and I still do not bottom out mildly loaded (4 people plus luggage).

Hey.... Tony what is the part number of the "true 2 inch ONLY spring" that I am running?
