2002 tahoe lowered on spindles and 3 inch rear lowering springs I work for Chevy and was gonna police take rear springs to stiffen it up ... I just ordered the djm trailing arm relocate kit and endlink kit and poly sway bar bushings.
Do you think it will take the rear sway out ? Should I get police tahoe springs?
Will i need adjustable rear pan bar too?
It has cai , flomaster ,bbk power plus 80mm tb long tube headers on next weekend

Just looking for sum input 981555D0-FC18-4834-AEEE-AB491F5C998E.jpegEEFA8530-91E5-439B-B7A3-4C977D3979EB.jpeg

Looks good and lets see some more pics. I like the look of the lower spoiler on the front valance. I'm gonna add that to my 02 Tahoe soon.

I think those end-links and poly bushings will make a pretty big difference. Did you get a drop shock and a bracket?

a hellwig rear sway bar should help as well if you have springs only then they also sell a sway bar kit that will retrofit

Did it sway before lowering or only since? If the sway is new, then something is wrong, such as broken end links, for example.

if your shocks are not the right length or have lowered brackets will cause this, also I have done may lowered SUV's and trucks, the lowering springs are usually quite a bit stiffer than stock, so that should not be the issue.

When I was lowered, I used the Belltechs that came with Tony's 2/3 drop kit. I think I've changed to moog since taking the lowering kit off.

Moog is the only way to go cause the Belltech's are junk

I am running Energy Suspension front endlinks and their poly bushings. On their website, in the PDF catalog under universal endlinks, they detail how to measure and order them. They need to be shorter it you're lowered in order to make the swaybar work correctly. Same in the rear, but that DJM kit you bought has the shortened rear ones. DJM also makes huge swaybars that work great, I'm running them front and rear. I highly recommend beefier swaybars, the stockers are weak. You can't go wrong with DJM and Energy Suspension.
