It bothers me but the wife already said HELL NO yo $500+ more in parts lol. Spacers are going back in tomorrow

So on the ride from Boston to DC my wife and I were taking about the ride.

Over alm the beltech silver shocks are good however on hard bumps the truck feels like I hit a wall. Will 4600s smooth out those bigger bumps or is that a 22" wheel with 285/45 problem?

Has anyone gone from beltechs to 4600s? If so is there a noticeable difference?

I have an 03 tahoe with the djm TB 4 in springs in the rear and it’s at 34in ground to fender. Am I missing something here?

Any rubbing issues with those 275/55's at your current drop?

No and yes. Everything clears, but sharp right turns combined with bumps-dips my drivers side rear tire hits the wheel well liner. But that's because theres a bulge for the autoride compressor. So a typical non autoride tahoe would not hit. I need to find out the offset on these ltz wheels, might get 1/2" or 1" spacers.

Yea it's perfect for fitting a factory size tire. Still have a ton of sidewall for ride comfort.

I actually wonder if it will be enough drop now..... the truck im picking up was a government issue truck and basically has Z71 suspension. I'll take some measurements when I get it home.

After picking it up not sure if I wanna try a basic rear drop to level it out first or go for the full mild drop all around lol

I've got a rear set of belltech springs for sale if you want to level it out.

 

[ThwopKing]

Whats needed to go along with those?

Rear belltech bumpstops and the 1 inch spacer if you want to use it and I have the spacer but no bumpstops.

 

[1bdhoe23]

Belltech drop shocks on the front, dim spindles, 3" keys, rear air shocks and helper bags(drag race often so it launches very hard with them adjusted) modded sway bar links front and rear, custom spring rate 5.5" rear springs, notched frame, belltech bumps, Spohn Panhard, Spohn uca and lca. I sit 30" in the front and 31 in the rear.
