The Hoe92,
A 295 series tire may work, but I would rather e safe than sorry, despite all this BS rubbing. And you are def. right when you said once the Tahoe is low, i can not go back up, just lower.:Handshake: Also it only rubs the wheel liners and washer fluid tank, nothing else to my knowledge.

Conor,
Like I said to TheHoe, I have fallen in love with its current stance and am only buying the Bell struts to go .5" lower to do away with Cali Stance. It should not rub anymore than it already does because .5" more is really not much.

NastyGM,
Looks like me and you are in the same rub boat, and I did not feel you were thread jacking, just adding more info.

not sure with the NNBS but check the rear passenger inner fender towards the door frame
my A/C lines are run right there and I rubbed through the insulation and bare pipe is showing so keep an eye on that

also something I've learned, every week or so either jack your truck up or take the wheels off and check all the fenders to see if you have accumulated any more rubbing

you would rather catch it early than rollin down the road and wonder what just flew off or why something doesn't work now

Haha you have a real slick set too, now your Tahoe looks like my Tahoes twin haha. I want a stereo, just not sure how I want to do it though.

Yeah I agree with you on that TheHoe92. I think I am just about good out back, the a/c lines in these are non insulated and look to have cleared the tires by around an inch. The top shock bolts clear the tires by about .75" too or I would have had to flip them.
Only thing really bugging me rubbing wise is the rubbing on the parking brake cable insulation and the washer fluid tank.:emotions122:

mine rubs on the washer fluid tank but it hasn't rubbed through the plastic, its just minor
as for the parking brake, be careful on that one because I think blizzard is getting close to snapping his

mine rubbed through the plastic on like a dime sized section so now its exposed but after cranking the torsions a little I don't rub on full lock

what are your measurements?

My measurement are 34.25" out back, and about 35" up front.
The front needs .75" more drop, the tire are 33.2" diameter wise, so I knew I would not want to be anything closer than .75" close to the tire to avoid fender rubbing due to those wide ass tires.

damn!
I guess I was lucky because my front was lower than the back so I was able to lift it and level it out so that way I didn't have to keep rubbing
..but you have to go lower

Yeah and it sucks because I already rub bad enough, I'm gonna see if I can zip tie the parking brake cable as far back as possibly w/o snapping the the zip tie.
