Blazed's 2011 Tahoe Build

Blazed · Dec 14, 2012

I understand the struts being ok but the rear I don't know how you even have a spine after all this time

07Burb · Dec 14, 2012

They ride perfect for me :shrug:

better than stock.

Blazed · Dec 14, 2012

Tf? Lol alright me and you are opposites?

07Burb · Dec 14, 2012

Yeah it's strange. Makes me curious as to what the differences are to make the experiences so different. Now I do agree that on an extremely bumpy spot or a very rough road they don't react the quickest but other than that on average roads and better I couldn't be happier.

The differences I know off the top of my head is the differences in wheel base and rim/tire combo. :shrug:

So Tony, which ones should I have to clarify.

4230-001 or 4230-002?
Dark grey or silver?

I asked you yesterday but you did not answer.

You did not answer this question?
If you don't, then I will know you are full of bs and I swear I will not let you rest on this forum so it would be wise you do. If not, I will antagonize you so badly that you will have to defend everything thing you say on here.

So the 5305 ride better than the 4230s ?
And sit lower ? Is the ride much of a difference ?

Yes they sit lower and ride better.
The ride is actually very different. They are about equal until one enters rough terrain roads. Then the 4230s get slightly harsher. The ride difference is not night and day, but it is definitely there.

Its the 002 and dark gray label. Modded I'm done answering any questions you ask of me. Blast me away all you want. You keep ripping and ripping on me especially the whole snap ring thing you just went off on me for no reason. I've tried to help this community in anyway I can even if they don't buy stuff from me im here 24/7 to help them anyway I can which many have called me.

Here you can read up on maxs post on the new 4230 springs I told him about will answer your question fully. I'm sorry you didn't get the drop you wanted modded but I posted up pics of other guys with the same set up and measurements for reference I don't know what to say anymore. Even he got more drop over 5305 and much better ride.

http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=291283&postcount=38

and this applies to the 07 up also once again sorry your so upset at me modded but max is also a respected suspension guy here.

Blazed glad you got the suspension worked out to your liking wish you the best of luck on your rig and wont be posting in your thread anymore so you can get it back on track.

Modded · Dec 14, 2012

Wrong answer! :lol:

I was waiting for you to answer before I post what I have so you do not say it is somply the wrong one, like I know you would have.
I will talk to Max in a bit while you try and make it look like I dislike you for no reason. I dislike you for reasons that correlate with the whole thread.
In the mean time, I will proceed to start to blast you. Yeah the whole snap ring thing got a little out of hand, but that was my mistake.
This time, when I am done, you are going to HATE me. I guarantee it. :Handshake:

I will let you be today because I am a bit tired. Tomorrow, my campaign will start against you and it will get more personal than Presidential campaign.

My new TB coils:

For starters:
Attached is Tony's advertisement for his lie of a rear 5.5" drop.

Issues with the pics:
1. With the posted measurements, does the front remotely look like it sits .1" off the front tire?
2. Does the rear look like it sits 5/8" off the rear tire?

I told you yesterday that if you are straightforward with people about drop heights and the quality of parts I will let you be. But that is obviously just not part of your sell tactics.
You can leave the thread if you want. I will follow you all over this forum. :sorry:

Hey modded if it isnt too much trouble while you have your truck in the air could you get some shots of your free travel mod with your adjustable bump stops and all that?

Here are a few pics that show all the parts I have used for my drop:
Rear setup without coils

With new coils:

Funny you bring up Max and link his post instead of the whole thread.
Post number 32 on this page you say the 4230s give another one inch worth of drop on these SUVs:
http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24866&page=4

Post number 45 below you say the DJM TB coils sit lower and ride better than the Belltech 5305s:
http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24866&page=5

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 AM ----------

Then in Post 50, member Bub relizes that for some reason, his rear has to settle 1.5" to reach the advertised 5.25" minimal drop you posted for the DJM TB coils.
http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24866&page=5

Post 54 and 56 here shows bub still wondering why he has only got 3.5" worth of drop with the TB DJM coils while Tony says that "different SUVs come with different coils" lol.
http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24866&page=6

Post 63 here, Tony says the "new" 4230s will ride better than old ones and drop these SUVs down more.
http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24866&page=7

Post 36 here Max confirms his "new" 4230s are the exact same height as his "old" 4230s. Tony's statement above has been completely discredited.
Also, throughout the whole thread Max states that the 5305s are the best riding coils he has tried. He says the old 4230s dropped him another inch over the 5305s, but that is not the case in my setup and I have everything he has.

Goodinblack · Dec 15, 2012

@ Modded..........You are running the Bilstein 5100's in the back correct?

I can't tell...Do you have the shock hardware kit too?

Blazed · Dec 15, 2012

He is running 5100s if you mean extenders then no he's not. But he is running rear hardware kit.

Goodinblack · Dec 15, 2012

Yes Extenders.

Thanks Josh.

Hey Josh you are insightful.

It sucks for Neo though.

Blazed · Dec 15, 2012

No problem and damn I forgot I said that I must be psychic!

Hey Josh you are insightful.

Honestly, I was not ever surprised when I noticed no difference. What caught me off guard was the height increase by 1/4".
The main reason why I held out on the 4230s until now (have known about them for over two years) is because I did not trust the fact it was really as low as it was advertised. Mainly because the cars they were on did not look any lower than mine. I decided to try it and just wasted time.

Blazed · Dec 15, 2012

I felt it coming lol it's to bad.
I just read your blast thread lol I can't wait to see where it goes when the big boys get on.

Who renamed this?
