[the big blue bus]

allrighty thanks, should i do anythin in the front?

 

[bowtiefreak]

nothing you can do other than the new gears. The aluminum carrier is not tough enough to hold up to a locker or anything....so if you find a place offering somethign stay away from purchasing a locker for the front.

allrighty. what are the stock gears in tahoes? my friend said 373 but im unsure. how would those be with the 35s for a lil while

I think there were different options for gear ratios. Mine came from the factory with 3.73s, as designated by RPO code GT4, which you can find in your glove box on a sticker. If it shows GT4 in your glove box, you too should have 3.73s.

I myself am not sure how it would feel, but numerous people on the forum have said that you feel a big difference driving around with 35's and 3.73 gears and that you'd want to upgrade as soon as you can. You'd probably be okay for a little while though. Your speedometer will be inaccurate too, just to keep in mind.

Oh yeah, if you want to decode all your RPO codes in your glove box, check out this site : http://www.gm-trucks.com/rpo-code-lookup/

thanks for the link and ill look into that. i got a 3inch bl today. its for a 73-87 truck but it should work right? i just need to get the bumper brackets. how many body bolts are there on 4dr tahoes? i have 14 lift pucks so i think i have enough

You are going to run into problems if you try to fit that body lift on the hoe. Under 250 you can get the body lift and gap guards through summit. I tried to fit my 35s with the body lift but didnt fit at all.

why would it not fit? body lift are all the same rpetty much just bumper brackets are different

i know i can get the summit kit for 160

or i can use what i got now and buy brackets for 70 for a total of around 120 wich is cheaper than the summit kit and i have extra pucks left over
