I just lowered my 03 Tahoe 3" in the rear ,should I have used the djm relocation sway bar end links as well???I haven't driven it yet.but it doesn't look like a full 3" drop ,it was late and dark...but the more I read up on the issues sounds like a good idea..any help would be appreciated...and is there an alternative to the 170 $ kit of jdm

Check with Tony Norcalss on here are you hitting bump stops or anything underneath? Did you use lowering springs? 3 inches isn’t usually enough to cause problems

Do you have autoride? Is it metal to metal scraping? Metal to plastic? Rubber? Scrapes on only bumps? Hard turns ? Both?

It’s rubbing the top of the rear inner fender? Are your bump stops gone?

Have you pulled the plastic back? Look behind it for parts the don’t move then drill 2 small holes and run a good zip tie through and pull it back. On my front end I did that in 3 or 4 places.
