How about an update on everything? List out what the mods will be when it is all said and done..
I assume you will be the lowest static dropped YD EVER?

All depends on the fund situation, I may be putting some motor/trans work into the truck with my tax return otherwise it should be completed by the end of march regardless. Goal is to have the lowest YD static that rides great and handles exceptionally well (for a torsion bar boat suv anyway).
Belltech 5305 with isolators removed for about 5" or so of drop compared to a stock denali with the same size tire. I have no recollection of the length but it should sit lower. These coils are 10x burlier than the qa1 I was a bit sketched out by the diameter of those and the spring rate should be nice with these. They're getting helper bags, hopefully I don't have to notch the frame right away but I ain't skeered.

i see those tb coils are shorter but it depends on the coil weight rating on how much it will compress.
im at 31 1/2'' rear and i dont understand why my tahoe doesnt look that dropped compare to stock height tahoe. but im at about 1 inch of touching the frame with the axle.free travel mod done. now at this 31 1/2'' my rear vibrates going over 25mph due to the angle and length of the drive shaft. i still think its because i have the ''z71'' and my undercarriage supports are taller. lol idk .
im getting my custom upper and lower arms or trailing arms for the rear axle this weekend if it doesnt snow tonight or friday
..
here is a link(http://www.moog-suspension-parts.com/Universal_Coil_Springs.asp) of coils that might fit i havent tried all of them but just to give an idea.
if your axle ends up to close to the frame, notch it right away or you could damage it (crack). i might just bag my truck i saw a set of 4 600psi bags on ebay for less than $200 new!
i really need some drop spindles so pm me if anybody has a pair for sale.
oh btw max i saw your truck the other day it looks even better in person. good luck with the coils.

Rest assured I don't foolishly damage my vehicles by not checking clearances, after all it's kind of my job lol. I'm hoping for another inch with the helper bags (effectivly acting as my bumpstop once the coil compresses). I need one ******* inch to set the tire just barely tucked which is all I want, then I can get some forged intro 2s or something.

dude that would be sick. i want to do a staggered set of intros. just imagine almost tucking tire with a ****** lip in rear and wideass tires. time will tell lol.
i got the helper bags from the new pontiac gto these are a bit shorter than the long tahoe ones. i though the smaller the coil the smaller the bag. im sure the ones you have will work out.

Belltech 4230s that I'll try THIS week. I have to get free height of the spring on the truck so I can figure out shocks and such. Making a few more $$$ at work the past two months so I'm thinking fox non-resi shocks at all 4 corners if I can correct lengths.

Is that 4230 progressive wound?
I thought about running the 5305, or maybe 23323 (considering the NBS Tahoes are lower from the get go at stock, the 5305 on a NNBS would be like 3.5" or less, so 23323 would be an option right?) but if its not progressive, then screw that because I would be only interested in doing it for more ride comfort and equal drop amount.
