Tahoe side to side sway after lowering

[tonycn803]

I have an 03 Tahoe 4wd , I lowered it with unknown trailblazer lowering springs and turned keys in front. As it is now it rides like ******, it sways really bad from side to side when riding over minor bumps. I have purchased the spohn panhard bar and shock extenders but have not installed yet. Any ideas on what makes it sway from side to side? It seemed to sway a little with eibach springs to , they just don't go low enough. As it sits now it's about 2" lower in front and 4-5" in rear. I will be doing free travel mod tomorrow as well as installing spohn panhard bar. Looks like someone changed shocks before I got it and put rancho shocks on it. Any recommendations on shocks from local parts stores I can use ?

U put trailblazer springs in a Tahoe? Why? Tahoe are a lot heavier then trailblazers. U would think not a good idea

trailblazer springs are fine... If they are the right ones.


Maybe they are a really soft spring? Problem is you have no idea who made the spring or the spring rate...

I changed springs to eibach 2 inch springs and cut 2 coils off , did free travel mod and installed spohn panhard bar today. Rides great but Still not low enough. Gonna try cutting another coil off and also installing bell tech nitro drop 2 shocks tomorrow. Not gonna use cut springs long term just seeing how it rides , which proved it was springs that caused sway. Anyone know if norcallss sells just the 5-6 springs with spacers?

Interesting. I'll bet my soft springs are partly to blame for my sway as well.
