pedders 7714

[phr3ak38]

lets start this with saying i have the 7734 GMT900 Raised 30mm HD Rear installed with no problems with a spacer *leveling kit * to lift the springs in the rear as well yes i had to buy a shock that was 6 inches longer for it all to work out in the rear. So i bought the 7714's thats the same type of coul spring for the front of the 09 tahoe i have to raise it as well. Heres my problem as soon as i installed it it seems to max out the strut ie front shock and as soon as i hit a bump i have wheel hop does anyone know how i can correct this, maybe a longer front shock/ strut like i did in the rear or any other ideas?? thank you

I have no idea what you are talking about but sounds like you need new struts if you are over extending them. What lift kit do you have, where did you get it, and how much lift did you get out of it?

i bought the peddlers lifted springs for front and rear, rear work fine just needed a longer shock so i bought the rancho 6" longer shocks. now in the front the springs are to strong and causes the front shock *strut* to stay fully extended when just sitting, so when you hit a bump and the shock compresses and the spring compresses when it goes back it has so much force it actaully lifts *bounces* the front tires off the ground because there is not enough travel room in the shock *strut* its self up front. what im looking for is either 1. a longer shock *strut* like i had to put in the back for up front or 2. a way to make the front shock *strut* longer like using something like this " http://www.jegs.com/i/Mr.+Gasket/720/1290A/10002/-1" so that the shock its self in the strut compresses moreand has more room for travel.

Belltech has a strut that is adjustable from-2 to +1 I think its called ground force, don't hold me to the name. I have it on my truck to lower it 1 inch but you could put in all the spacers it comes with and that should work. Or go to any part store like autozone and tell them you want a 1 inch longer strut and they should be able to tell you what to get. IMO that strut extender seems like a bad idea but that just me. Spend the extra money and do it right. I still have not heard of your lift kit, have a link? how much lift did you get?

phr3ak,

did u ever get this resolved with the 7714s?

how much lift did u get?

I used their rear springs "peddlers" for lift the front ones I havent used at this time. I have factory springs and the 2" lift struts with 3" lifted spindles and I am maxed out at this time. If I was to go any higher with out buying or building a front and rear lower control arm relocation bracket the truck will be unable to be aligns.
