I just bought my first Tahoe and can tell you its amazing.

It is lifted from what I am told with a 6 inch fabtech lift and 3 inch body lift.

the back is lifted with blocks and helper springs. I want to get rid of this setup and throw some springs in their instead. Any advice on some good lift springs?

i would assume I need a 6 inch spring right?
Also is their any way to tell if the tbars have been cranked???

I am running a 37x12.50x15 and would like just a better ride already have pretty good clearance.

Thanks

Procomp and BDS make lift springs, not a clue as to price other than i got quote on some BDS a long while back for $300 and some if i remember correctly.

it was through a buddy at extreme performance in town, and awhile back. so it could be a little different.

ok... i have what seems like some axle wrap with the set up now but will the springs fix this???

i have a block on top of stock springs with an add a leaf on it now. everything is tight but it still makes the noise?

you mean you have a block under the leaf springs between them and the axle?

mine has the add a leaf and block b/s, and the only noise it makes is the squeak from the pads between the leafs being gone.

yea its axle-block-leafspring.

it makes it feel like the axle is gonna moves when i hit the gas at first. like its moving.

i dont think it is a squeaking noise. ill get some pictures so you can see it.
