[GooseN573rd]

First day first post I'm sure I could have looked to find the answers but I'd like to know what I need for lowering my Tahoe 3-4" I need new shocks so any combo of reliable parts at affordable prices this is my daily driver. Thanks

Not to beat you up for your first post, but you'll find out that lower your Tahoe can be very cheap, but will ride like poop. To lower it correctly, so it rides like new from the factory, you'll need to spend some money and do it right.

Cheap front
2" no name drop spindles on eBay
1" cranking your torsion keys down

Cheap rear
4" no name drop springs on eBay


Really, that's all you'll need. But people on here can assure you you'll have the ride and spend more money doing taking that stuff off and doing it the right way after you feel the ride of it.



To do it the right way, look through some post here...

Spend a little more do it the 1st time no head aches. Stay away from keys ride sucks. Ask me how I know I've gone through three different front suspension set ups. 3rd one was the charm. Lol.

Having a daily you really don't want to go the cheap route. You'll regret it, not be happy and have to spend even more. Do it right the first time. Be sure you know exactly what height you want to be at, at first I wanted a 2/4 and almost pulled the trigger but waited and went with a 3/6 and love it. I still want to be a little lower in front but I don't know when that'll happen. Make sure to contact Tony NorcalSS. Great help and great service.

Quality drop spindles up front and quality springs in the rear and dont forget parts like ball joints and tie rod ends, if your truck has any miles on it you probably need to replace this stuff and now is the time to do it

a arms in front with belltech sp shocks for 3
in rear my 5-6 kit
http://www.tbssowners.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=88

a arms will replace ball joints/inner bushings which is good and with the belltech sp shocks its a good ride

in rear my custom 5-6 kit rides well also. Comes wiht new shocks and end links and everything else needed.


btw here is a customer that did my 3/5-6 kit feedback on 22s
