I just finished a customers truck tonight same thing
rear belltech springs 2"
rear belltech shocks
front belltech shocks

Rides great and sits even and honestly rear rides better a lot less sway and you feel more in control. He will chime in shortly

BTW is your tahoe autoride?

Honestly if you have that many miles id do the front drop struts also. You can adjust from 0-2 inch drop and this way you get brand new shocks all around and a good ride.

In that kit above you can just add another set of spacers total would be $600 shipped and it would keep it at a 2 inch drop in rear not 3.
