Malibulx - that's a good looking Hoe. Yeah mine was for sale about a year ago, a guy from eastern Oklahoma built it, then sold it and I aquired it. I am actually thinking about selling it now, I just don't think I can give up my truck and the wife says one has to go, although seeing your pics...
I really don't remember what air shocks I used, they were on a SS El Camino I had a long time ago. I just remember them being real bouncy and stiff, but I could pull about anything I needed! I might play around with spacing the wheel and working the fenders a bit. I read somewhere that...
Thanks for the complements, I have wanted one of these for as long as I can remember. I am running 255-35-20 in the front and 265-35-22 in the rear on Coy's C-57's. I have stock shackles, although I think it might actually sit a bit higher in the back right now so if I raise the back any I might...
My rear fenders aren't rolled, but it is actually rubbing at times on the inside towards the rear of the wheel well. I thought about rolling my fender lip and adding a spacer to my wheel to space it out a little bit. I believe I am setting at a 5/7 drop, I thought about lifting it a little...
I am looking at doing this too, I would like to know which kit someone reccomends as I don't have much experience with helper bags. I just bought a '98 2 door 2wd with a flip kit on it and at times my rear wheels rub the wheel wells, I would also like to be able to adjust the suspension if I...
Great job! I have been wanting to do this for awhile, glad to know it can be done! I have two 12's now and they just take up to much room and really put out more bass than I need. Thanks for the write up, it gives me motivation.
I'm also with ya on the MTX box, MDF is cheap and so is my time!
I believe two of these might be the second row buckets, I would have been all over it had they been tan. Just thought I would pass them along,not too far from Dallas.

Yeah I plan on getting the tb springs as soon as I get some money stashed away! But I want to do the front first. The shocks are working out nicely though, thanks again!
Tahoewhat - Thanks alot! Hey I saw on another post you installed spindles, what was your setup before? I have just keys...
Well I finally got some rear Bell Tech SP shocks. It dropped the rear about 3/4" and the ride is a lot better, I am sitting at 32.25 in the front and 33.5 in the rear. I still think I am going to switch to spindles in the front with new shocks, however if I decide I want to go lower I am going...
Wasn't sure where to post this but saw these and thought it wasn't too bad of a deal. I thought about buying them so I would have an extra set of wheels but I need to spend money elsewhere. Just thought I would pass these along.

My truck with keys rides terrible, I plan on switching to spindles ASAP and changing the rear 3" DJM Springs to the TB springs. The ride may be better on 22's but mine just feels like it has not suspension travel in the front and the rear is really stiff and bouncy.
I removed the amber reflector in my '00 GMC Sierra several years ago, looked really good and was an easy mod. I just carefully seperated the clear headlight lens from the housing enogh to pop out the amber lens and pushed the clear lens back together with the housing.
When I bought my Hoe it had a 40 series Flowmaster with dual outlets dumped. It sounded pretty damn good but too loud for my wife and newborn baby. So I had dual pipes ran out the back with a nice stainless tip. Well it improved the loudness in the cab as far as just cruising around town, but...
Mine is an '03, the original back glass had the molding, but the escalade on does not. I thought this was kinda strange GM did this, I figured all the glass were the same, just the brake light config. was different.
I feel you pain, I have the 295/35-24's also and the ride sucks. I need to change shocks to see what that does, but I think it mostly has to do with the low pro tire/wheel setup.
Here is a pick of the back glass, I still have to get the third brake light housing painted. I also picked up a left side Escalade applique panel or vent that goes next to the rear window for $30 and it's the correct color, just need to find the right side now!

Glad I checked the forum this morning. On my way to work my rear glass just shattered out of no where. After calling all over town and having no luck finding a rear glass for a Tahoe (well one that wasn't any cheaper than $500) I started checking for a Escalade rear glass after reading here...
Okay, I talked to the guy again and he recalled that it was a DJM 2/3 kit. After looking at shocks some more I am debating on which to get. Any recommendations as to one over the other? Also which shock did you use if you have the model number? I was looking at the Bell Tech Street...
The rear bump stops have been trimmed, first thing I checked. Does the front have any that need any tweaking? I know I trimmed some on my '00 GMC truck that were on the A-arms, but I know this suspension is a little different.
I believe I will look into getting some shocks, more than likely the Bell Tech ones. I think that extra .5-1 inch of lowering will make it look just like I want it to, and hopefully improve the ride like I want.

Thanks guys, I was pretty much sold on it when the the guy pulled up when I met him to look at it. I wouldnt mind the back being a bit lower though.
It does still have the big factory shocks and relocators, does anyone have a preference on which shocks are the best, I have read a lot of...
Hello, I am new to the forum and have really enjoyed reading over the posts. I recently was looking for a Tahoe to buy and lower when I came across a deal on one that had already been lowered with wheels that I just couldn't resist.
My first question is I am trying to figure out just how...
