2015 4x4 Tahoe - purchased lowered and need to raise 2-3" above stock

One thought is see if you can find a stock height vehicle with auto level control and see what angle the sensors are at when at rest and try and duplicate those angles on your vehicle’s sensors.

There's a lot of variance between vehicles, but that's a decent start. The sure way would be to hook a Tech2 to it and move the sensor arms until the computer is seeing the position it knows as ride height, then make the rod match that length. For any small deviation afterward, you can use the Tech2 to relearn the position as it's ride height.

I have an ob2 scanner or whatever but not familiar with tech2 - will ck it out, thanks!

Here's before and after - I thought I'd posted these but I don't see em - sorry if its a repeat.

Nice looking rig!!

What I would do on the rear sensor arms is mark their location at stock height, then adjust them to that same location at your lifted height...and start from there.

Thanks, Olyelr! I've got 2" additional height in the rear and so I'm going to lower 1", then set the sensor, and make all my final adjustments - like the linkage to the rear swaybar - it's a little pinched. Also the rear shocks were fully extended so I took the lowering brackets and flipped them over and welded them to the stock brackets, so, I have some cutting, grinding, and painting to get them looking good - I'll try to remember to send pics - not too pretty at this point but doing the job perfectly.

Are those the wheels off a colorado zr2?

They look REALLY GOOD on there!

 

[John Hanses]

They may be - I bought the set used to replace the 24" low-rider set the previous owner had. And, yeah, I think they look real good!

The way this guy lowered it, that upper control arm angle looks funky. Which is to be expected with a shorter than expected spring with the stock control arms.

Here is a stock zr2 wheel/tire...
