modded try the djm trailblazer rear spring with djm rear shocks those 2 mated up in the rear (if you can tuck) will be the best ride you got.

Thanks for the info

I am going to order a set for my avalanche

I am currently using stock shocks with extenders and it rides like crap!

Modded,

Do you know which 5125 series shock you purchased?

What are the specs seems there is a page of 5125 shocks to pick from

Thanks
josh

Yes I do, its part number: F4-BE5-6252-H5.
Cheapest on Amazon or Ebay.

And DJM I would run the TB coils, then just pull out 2 of the 4 8mm spacers in my Bell struts, but I would be rubbing all day, I mean I already rub now haha.
If I had 24s still, I would already have that setup, but 26s and that setup will be looking for trouble.

many local guys dont care out here about it. They want it slammed and want a 26 inch wheel. As long as it fits they dont care. My buddy is west coast rep at nitto they will be releasing a 295 20 26 at sema. it will be the first 20 series tire on the market.

I have a 305/30/26 with a +35 offset. About 1.5" taller than the 295/25/26 that only Pirelli makes thats also expensive as hell. Also way too thin, but the 107 load rating is proper for these SUVs.
