prob is at full travel tires might hit so bumpstops prevent this. either way always good do have also helps prevent ds going into trans so far.

that being said links and bumpstops should be there tomm

i removed my bumstops today and let the truck down and the bumpstop bracket is not hitting with the axle so it only went down 1/8 inch..is there any way to shorten the spacers to like .5"? just curious

got the spacers and bumpstops today! thanks tony! now i got another question about a body drop..was looking at the truck and i noticed if you do a body drop wont you need to modify the bumpers since they are on the chasis and not the body..like if you drop the rear wont the body hit the rear bumper?

also will shocks up front or shorter end links drop it any more at all? i love having the tahoe at 33" in the rear but the front is at 33.5 because thats as low as my passenger side goes..now i added the spacers and im at 33.75 in the rear but if i could go lower up front someway without adding keys i could lower the back down again

thanks your denalis looking pretty good aswell..i love your stance what is your rear fender height? and how much travel space do you have in back? my rear is at 33" and the front is at 33.25 hoping to get the rear at .25 or .5" higher. i might look into doing a body drop since it wont change any specs in the front i believe

Thanks man, sorry about the late response im not getting notifyed about updates to New post. At the moment I'm at like 32.5 in the back with 10psi in my bags I have Tony's custom 6 inch springs no spacers. Do you have helper bags, I recommend getting some you can dial in the rear better with some air to little to none and it helps and good for towing if you do any. I have belltech spindles and keys up front I'm at like 32 and I have bell tech camber kit as well. Good stuff. It was lower I recnetly cranked keys up and put air in bags because the roads in mass are getting rough. I have a set of the S-10 body mounts to do the body drop which is on my list to do. Would net around another inch of fender drop. Shouldn't change any specs other then wheel well closer to tire etc.
Billy.
