I have a 2004 Tahoe on 24s with a 3/5 mcguaphys drop kit on it. The kit gave me about 4in. of drop in the front but only a little less the 5in. in the back. I love how the front of my Tahoe sits but I would like to get about 1-2 more inches of drop for the rear to get rid of the rake that I have. Any suggestions on how to do that whether it be doing some cutting or going out and buy something more to install?

1) Are you using the rear swaybar reolcators and trailing arm relocator kit?
2) did you cut the bumpstop bracket off the rear of the truck?
3) which shocks are you using?

So you know i have my own springs now that sit lower than their springs and ride better but you need to do a few things to make the back of the truck right before you spend any more money on the thing.

the only thing that I have not done is cut the bumpstop brackets out because Im worried about metal to metal hitting other than that I have done step 1. and the shocks that I am using are the ones that come and are recommended with the Mcgaughys kit

i sell the bumpstops which are 25 shipped attach to axle when you do the free travel mod.

also you need the djm endlink kit to relocate the swaybar. Ive been doing these trucks since they came out in late 99 trust me on this. Do the free travel mod do the djm endlinks and bumpstops which are $110 shipped you will be very happy.
