hmmmm did you buy that tahoe like that? I rembember seeing it for sale for the longest time.

Sounds like a plan. I'm going to save up and purchase a set for sure. I know I need the hardware kit but do I need to change out my shocks since I'm running Z71 shocks?

Do you have shock extenders in the rear?

tb springs/djm rear hardware kit is $360 shipped

If your shocks are longer than 22 inches with shock extenders in it wont work the spring will pop out.

I dont have shock extenders right now. I'm already having the problem with the springs not staying in when jacking up the truck. I have to jack it up underneath the axel so the spring doesn't pop out. I also haven't measured my shocks l. Would the shock extenders solve the spring pop out situation I'm having right now?

no prob but the djm tb springs require different shocks so if your going to change to the tb springs no use buying the 1800 shocks.

if you decide you want to just keep what you have now i have the djm shocks 1800s for 90 shipped
