My truck is being lowered in the rear as I type. I'm trying to just get just over an inch in the rear (I'll explain that later). I'll post pics when I get it back.

I am! I just spoke with them, and they say it's done. So, we'll see.

Again, just looking to drop is slightly in the rear. Went with Belltech springs, and then a cut & lathed poly spacer to 1) keep some rubber insulation there, and 2) to keep the drop from being too low in the rear. I'm hoping that the result is a factory-like ride, with a better overall stance.

The Belltech 2-3" rear coil could have done that, just install the coils with the supplied Belltech spacer.
If you are trying to level you may be far from it as the rear of these Tahoes is 3" taller than the front, so you would have about 2" to go......

Didn't want it perfectly level (which my mind would probably perceive as past-level in the rear with a 2-3" kit). Just wanted some of that rake out of it. My installer said he believes he dropped it 1-3/8" in the rear. It looks awesome. I need to get it on level ground and snap a pic. But I'm really liking the subtle difference.

Yeah, don't want that much drop. Looks to me like it's sagging a bit in the rear. I'm not after that look.

I'll take pics as soon as I get this thing clean. It's really dirty right now...

Yeah I had a bunch of junk in the rear that day + full tank. The rear is a tad lower than the front. Installed full kit a week later.
