The tahoe is an older police tahoe, I know the frist time it was built my nfamus in dallas, here are the pics http://www.nfamusairsuspension.com/page23.htm They had some problems with the front suspension and changed it from bag on the upper arms, to bags on the lower arms. and the back is not a canti is basicly a two link with a pan hard bar.
Here are all pics that I have of it, but they are mostly the suspension

nope... issue of semantics.
traditionally, cantilevered was used to describe any suspension with mechanical advantage... especially a 2 link with panhard and mechanical advantage springs a la 72 Chevy pickup.
later when people started using inboard mounted bags or hydros acting thru a pivot point/fulcrum and pushrod, those also came to be known as cantilevered suspensions.
(first airbag pushrod suspension system? Silverstar Customs of MS, thank you very much!)
TECHNICALLY neither is a cantilever suspension
A cantilevered suspension would consist of (for example) 2" box tube rigidly and horizontally welded to the axle... and then horizontally to the chassis with no other support, shock or spring needed
by design cantilevers don't MOVE.
if you want to use the term the OG truckin' way then that two link IS cantilevered... ie greater than 1:1 ratio of lift at the axle ... If you are using the term to describe if it is sprung indirectly via a pivot and linkage... no.
Tangential thought:
I always wanted to do a pushrod action suspension using double acting hydraulic cylinders as the outer linkage, and use coilovers inboard...
the benefit being that you could change the ride height without affecting spring rate, amount of shock travel etc.
your vehicle could ride the same 1 inch off the ground or 10 inches in the air, and you wou;dn't have to mess with packaging a coilover in a tiny vintage minitruck a arm.
this is unlike with air springs where you lose spring rate to go lower, but get into stiffer compression setting in the shock, run out of shock travel and thus only have a narrow sweet spot.
downside being hydros, batteries, and the need for a sturdy (large) double acting cylinder so it resists compression and rebound

my truck could get over that hill. Like to see his to that.

you do know you can lift it up to stock height dont you?
my tahoe has less ground clearance then my bagged truck did, and it went through everything my tahoe does in 2wd

you are right!
whom ever was asking-
center line archers,
$219 each in polished 20x8.5 (only 24lbs!!!)
$269 each in polished 22x9.0 (34 lbs!!!)
~~if you order direct from centerline, via their website.

Wow... i couldn't have described it better myself
