02 Tahoe lowered on 26"s-soon to be 28''s.

[TONEBLACK06]

Hello all this is my 02 hoe I have owned this beast with the same set up for 3 years and its time to change it. I have the belltech 3/5 kit on it i tend to bottom out from time to time after joining this site and doing some research i found out about the free travel mod which I am gonna do next week once the new bumpstops arrive. I do have a quick ???? does anyones truck front wheels slip at all when the wheel is locked all the way to the left it does it even with the stocks on. I am trying to get everything together before i put the new 28'' rims and tires on. Thanks in advance.

when you do free travel mod your rear tires are gonna prob get cut up so be careful

I've noticed the slipping during full lock w/ 24s

Thanks for the compliment I just sold them for $3200 and got some 28'' rims and tires with the p zero nero 295 25 28 so hopefully it will fit with the drop. lol I will post pics up once the 8's are on and does anyone know what is the cause of the slipping its so annoying.

What do you mean by this slip so I will know if I have it?

The suspension makes a poppin noise and the front wheels slip on the knuckles I think.

 

[fatnlowtahoe504]

popping noise sounds like it could be ball joints but if im driving on rocks or not grippy ground and i turn real hard the front tire slips a little bit on the ground...

and you shouldnt have a problem fitting the 28s with the rubber bands, just got to ride real careful cus i know how skinny those 25 series tires are lol

Yeah it could be the ball joints, or maybe the drop spindles (if you have some) were torqued to much/little witht the upper/lower ball joints, or tie end.

Thanks guys for the help it could me the ball joints the funny thing is that the truck has always done this even before the drop and I have keys on the front not the spindles. Oh yea the tires are very low lol ill post a pic of the rims and tires.
