2009 Police Tahoe Drop

[sctdixon]

Finally installed the "Belltech 2-3/4 07 UP Tahoe" I got from Tony. I think it looks much better. My father drives it when I'm out of the country and he notices a big difference in the ease of getting in and out (had both hips replaced).

Before and after pics attached. Any comments?

Handles as good as a 2 1/2 ton truck can.

It has a gigantic rear swaybar (cop spec?) so it never had any body roll. Then again, it all may be in my head that it handles better.

Looks good. But it still looks as if the back sits a bit taller. Is it?

Measurements to wheelwell lip:

Front: Before 34.5"
After 32 3/8"

Rear: Before 35.5"
After 32 3/4"

So yes, the rear is a bit higher still but acceptable to me

I think you're seeing the illusion of him not pulled into the driveway straight. With the front wheel pulled closer to the expansion joint than the rear, it looks more nose-heavy than it is, I'd say.

Sct -- It looks sick. My spindles are in-transit. Can't wait!

Not at all. I think it's an illusion.

I know that look. My running boards are useless now, but my kids still use them. Get a pushbar like me and watch everyone around you get nervous haha

It's funny, I already have people get out of my way when I come up behind them on the freeway and have even had cops wave to me on numerous occasions. Maybe they are real friendly officers and wave at everybody...
