1996 tahoe rearend sway

[SAMMY BURTON]

96 tahoe on 20's 5/7 drop .when you are going down the road and gas on it. It feels like it is fish tailing!!!! What can it be ??? Thanks

Mine also does this, and im on 22's and no drop. There's this road by my house that when I go down it it seriously feels like im gonna lose control and crash. There's these like unintentional speedbumps every 50 feet. So annoying, I need to find out what's wrong and get it fixed.

What shocks are you running?

Do you have a swaybar in the rear?

Do you have shock extenders in rear?

 

[SAMMY BURTON]

Doetsch tech ... No sway bar....

Mine did this I replaced the shocks and fixed it. It was also at stock height when this was happening.

 

[SAMMY BURTON]

Its not the shocks....please help me !!! Lol

 

[NORCAL SS]

are you sure its not the rear shocks? You pulled them off and checked?

are you running shock extenders?

are you running shorter shocks and if so what is the length?

Did you put the leaf springs back in the right way when you pulled them off for the flip kit ive seen people put them back in backwards.

Did you check the bushings in the leaf springs make sure they arent shot?

BTW the front/rear belltech swaybar id look into will make that truck front/rear end handle a lot better or at least the rear becuse if you dont have one on there now will help tons.

 

[SAMMY BURTON]

Yes i looked at all that stuff.....i'm at a lost >>>>>>>

 

[NORCAL SS]

get the swaybars and your set thats the only thing that will kill sway. belltechs front/rear will make that truck handle great.

 

[SAMMY BURTON]

[NORCAL SS]

btw what rear shock are you running? what is the extended height?
