Lol. How do u like the belltech shocks? Im not really diggin them. Btw your tahoe is sick man

I'm not really a fan so far. It' only been a week. Granted I still haven't completed the free travel mod so maybe that'll help but I am wishing I went with 4600s

You sound like me lol. They are ok but im not trully satisfied with them. I wish i knew what size bilsteins i could get for my drop. Somewhere i heard that old Bronco shocks would work with this drop but who knows. Once you do the free travel mod it rides alot better. I used a saw zaw to cut mine off.

Once I get some extra cash, I'm getting some 4600's. I have something like a 2/3 drop myself. Put some kyb's and I think they're too soft.

See I think I want softer. I' driving from VA to Boston right now and I feel like if I got 1 more bump my eyes are going to shoot out of my skull. Also my wife won't stop telling me how awful the ride is

I wish there was a way to compare the rides with each other.

Here. To give you a better idea.

Every bump, dip, crack in the road it feels like the truck is going to split in half. And then my eardrum gets hit with the same amount of force from my beautiful lovely wife telling me the blown autoride shocks rode better. Then I tell her well I can get some 4600s and sell these and I hear silence.....

I am extremely disappointed in these beltech shocks so far and I don't see how the free travel mode can make that big of a difference when it's initially the front that is the most painful

How does your ride compare

The kyb's just makes it wallow I think. I don't have the free travel mod, I think it would just be too much travel. When I hit a dip, the rear bottoms out and bangs hard, the front does the same..

I don't even have my 22's on yet. I thought you already had the 4600's on already. Guys seem to like them on their lowered rides. I think the kyb's just aren't strong enough. I have maybe 5,000 miles on them too.
