Tahoe with a boat feel!!

[boozer]

My 2002 tahoe 4x4. Ok I have 3/4 ton keys and belltech springs in back. I cut the dead coils off the back and put 2" drop spindles on today. I have lowering shocks up front, stock length shocks in back with extenders. The front measures 31.5 and rear is at 32. My sway bar is straight. When I hit some bumps on the highway sometimes it would rock back and forth kinda bad. What would cause this? I know I need helper bags now. Could my shocks be to long now? If I go with lowered shocks in back do I still need the extenders?

more sway bar

Sounds like a shock issue to me. What kind of shocks are you running?

I believe they are monroe sensa trac. Just some I found new on cl. Then put extenders on with them

I've always thought the rear sway bar is undersized, but the OEM does this for a reason, they want understeer not oversteer. I put a larger bar on the rear of my Denali and it handles much more to my liking. at least now I can kick the rear out and drive it around the corner instead of plowing through it.

Mine was great till I just cut off two dead coils for another inch. Now it rocks all over and something bottomed out hard. Haven't had time to get under it to check yet

are you using the djm trailing arm kit?
cut brackets off the frame?

 

[boozer]

No I am not. All I have on the rear is 3" drop springs with the dead coils cut, shock extenders and sway bar end links. I think I reply need helper bags also just not sure which ones to get. Like I said I'm sitting at 32 in the rear with 305/40/22. And yes the bumpstop brackets are cut but just looked and not much travel room at all. Might have to raise it back up some
