I have had my Tahoe a few days.
97 4 door 5.7 4x4 6inch pro comp lift 3 inch body. I noticed the messed up bushing on the top of the front ES 3000 shock when I checked the truck out before buying but didn't realize until washing the mud off that the shock is being dented by the control arm. Both sides.
I did a google search and found a few discussions with people asking about the same problem on lifted Tahoes. There were a few suggestions like get some monotube shocks that are skinny enough to not hit. Another suggestion mentioned was to mount the monotube shock upside down. I did not find anyone confirming a fix for this.
Has anyone here dealt with this and fixed it? What shocks do you guys without this problem use on the front of big tahoes?
I would love to hear all I have to do is get some bilstein 5100's.
