Yeah from mid 09 to mid 2011 I did a whole bunch of random suspension setups. It was hell figuring out what to keep but I finally got it down to the perfect setup! If Pedders had 5" rear coils, without a doubt, I would have went with them. The Belltech paired with Bilstein 5100 shocks is good ride though.

What's ur current setup?

Modded....... Is Airbagit stuff any good? I have read some unpleasant things about them.

Well there panhard bar is good to me. It is too simple of a part to really be bad. Apart from that, I don't really buy their stuff.

That looks like a good setup Modded. For as low as you are, do you think that rides better than any other combo?

Ye for as low as I am, the ride is as good as it will possibly get. Now for a 2/3, a McG spindle and Pedders rear coils setup would be best.

I can bet the TB springs don't ride better than the 5305 coils. They just sit lower according.
I by no means want a 6" rear drop coil on static suspension and 26" wheels. It is just not realistic for daily driving because the moment it is loaded down with 4 friends it will be banging the wheels wells and quarter panels.

max liked the new version tb springs over the 5305s just dropped him to much. ride he said was better vs 5305 with bilsteins. Im actaully swapping springs this weekend to the tb springs on my escalade just to see how it feels and then doing my 10 dollar mod to lower the front another 1 inch seeing if I can get by without camber bushings. Im getting 26 inch true forged wheels and working on a 17 inch rotor set up in front and 15.5 in rear with wilwood to replace my 16/14 set up on it now
