Springs?

[royaltee]

Hey everyone. Guess i'm having an ongoing concern with ride comfort/quality. Thus far I've done BellTech struts and shocks, front ball joints, road force wheel balance, and alignment. Ride is better but still not comfortable. Anyone have front and rear spring suggestions that'll keep the stock ride height but provide a little more in comfort? Also, could it be the steel wheels and/or the stock Goodyear tires?

PPV or SSV?

Is your Tahoe wearing 265/65R18, or shorter?
If your tires are shorter than the above, switch to 265/65R18 or 255/70R18.
Lighter aluminum wheels may also help.

For you I'd even consider 265/70R17 or 255/75R17- IFF they'll fit over the front brakes - to soften your ride.
Reducing your unsprung weights and more sidewall will lessen the wheel impact forces / soften the hits.

Have you tried different shock absorbers yet?

265/60R17 is likely a major source, if not THE major source for your ride dissatisfaction.
Give 265/70R17 (OE for non-PPV) or 255/75R17 a try.
Yes your vehicle will get a wee lil bit taller, but your butt and lower back will prefer the extra sidewall.

Yes, did Belltech all the way around. Helped but not eliminated the discomfort

Have you replaced the rear springs?
