Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

Yeah, he said he was gonna change the fluid--looks like he didn't. I supplied him with the rear, so that isn't his fault. It was the only reasonable one I could find. That Jersey rust will get you every time. Hopefully I'll be able to take the wheels off next weekend. I just found the ds upper balljoint on my van is bad, so something else I need to do.

I just did my d/s upper yesterday.

How difficult was it?

I replaced the whole UCA. Amazingly 1 mounting bolt came out, the other was seized so I had to cut it out.

I thought about doing the whole uca, but Idk if it'll be easier or more of a nightmare instead of just doing the upper balljoint. I'm probably gonna get someone to do it.

Hole is still there.
I have the Hellwig swaybar in the middle hole, does anyone know which would be the firmest? Is it the outermost or inner? @Doubeleive ?

Innermost is the stiffest. That’s where I have mine.

I gotta move it. Thx @Sam Harris .
