Drop kit finally installed!!

[NoPh33rRaCiNg]

looks good i love the look of your truck, i searched forever to find a black tahoe in my price range lol

 

[Narco]

i was wanting to get about 4 out of the rear. i still have the nivomat self leveling shocks on the back now. the bilsteinsshould be here tomorrow. hopefully i can head back down to Tricks ad swap them out.

once the new shocks come in and the springs setlle id like to see another 2 inches fall in the rear. you think thats reasonable max?

i told narco this a 10908902 times but i think his truck is dead sexy!

 

[Max]

Shocks will drop it another inch or inch and half, coils should settle 3/8" to 1/2" you can always pull the isolators but it would sit past a 4" drop. Rear should sit the same as mine in the above pic, don't worry it will look dope

 

[Narco]

sweet. max, sent u a pm

 

[Travieso]

looking good bro, i just dropped mine about 2" more inches in the front

Did you do just keys in the front or spindles too., And what springs are the rear looks nice

We just put in keys. He will chime in with the springs i forgot already and we just did it yesterday.

They are belltech springs.

 

[Narco]

the rear springs are Belltech progressive rate springs. we also put in shock extenders and shorter bumpstops.

i do love the look of it. when you have a guy like Trick who's got one of the badest whips on here tell you that "it looks so gangster" you def take it as a compliment!

 

[Narco]

installed the Bilstein HD rear shocks today and cut the front bumpstops in half. alignment tomorrow morning. wash tomorrow afternoon, and pics to follow.

Ride better? How far did the back drop?

 

[Narco]

back went down almost 2 more inches. how long does it take the rear springs to settle? i love the look now, but if it settled another half inch or more i wouldnt get my feeling hurt.

shocks ride great. cutting the front bumpstops helped. we cut the 1st ring off (between the 1st and second rings). any more than that and there wont be anything left sticking out of the mounting location.

 

[Max]

Rear should settle 3/8" or so it may take awhile with those blsteins back there. Good to hear she dropped that far, I wasn't worried but I'm sure you guys were confused.

 

[Narco]

lol, a little bit. now that ive done a drop i feel like i could do another with no problems. i might pull the isolators out one of these days if itll give me close to an inch. do they really make noise back there if you pull them out?

 

[Max]

Mine are quiet but I've never ran them without my helper bags. I'd imagine some white lithium grease would stop any sqeaks. Pulling the isolators will drop it about 3/8" then you will sit at the same height as me in back...well until next week anyway

 

[Narco]

lol, so ive heard =)
