What rear shocks for 2/3 bell tech kit 2009 Tahoe

[nickp98]

I am looking to replace my rear shockS on my Non autoride 2009 Tahoe. I have the 2/3 Belltech kit and the rear is a little rough and i am looking for a different shock. My truck has 44k on it so I figure it's time. I was thinking of oem or bilstein. Any reccomendations would be great.

before you do anything did you cut the rear bumpstop brackets off? do that even with 3 inch drop will ride better.

Do this rather than replacing the bump stop with the belltech supplied replacement one?

 

[nickp98]

The bracket on the axle?

 

[NORCAL SS]

if it bottoms out yeah i just cut the bracket off on the frame.

 

[nickp98]

Well maybe this is a silly question but why not just take out the bumpstop? Also can u send me pricing on bilstein 5100 shocks?

Do you already have the shock relocators? If not, add them first. They made a big difference to the way my Tahoe rode/rides.

 

[nickp98]

Yes I have them in. I have narrowed my issue with th ride to the shocks. Ihave tried many things and they all fall onto the shocks.

i just did all new billstein hds all around and they feel noticeably better than oem.
going to look into shock relocators and possibly a drop and sway bars to make it feel a little tighter.

When you say relocators, do you mean the extenders that come with lowering kits? Thanks
