Post:All lowered tahoes 4dr and 2dr

[AtomicHoe094]

you know how bad i wanted that kit from the getgo. I cant justify putting any more money into this damn truck tho.. wiating for the supercharger to blow shit up then im done with it. lol

 

[foreverfalcon40]

How much for everything?

I have a 4 door...I already have shackles, hangers and c-notch

want the shock extenders...air bag set-up. Will traction bars rub?

Pm me. I'm going to sell it as a complete kit. Not looking to part anything out. Probably will keep the shocks because that will just make the deal unrealistic for a buyer since they are $500+ new. It'd be a lot cheaper and easier to put a set of Monroe's on there. Will the traction bars rub what?

Well you need the traction bars for the supercharger

I don't think anyone wants your shocks. CNC and Water Jetted means nothing. Just means the human hand was taking out in the fabrication process. For years people have been fabricating. Water Jetting and CNC means something when it comes to the drive train and one off crazy pieces. Your suspension is One off in its own and a work of "art" in its own perspective. Art....beauty is in the eye of the beholder Ex:

No matter how low you go the ride will never be the same. To powder coat suspension components on a daily driven vehicle especially on lowered vehicles (where no one will ever see them) is beneficial? Just going to get all hacked up from the road. Some good prep work and a rattle can will look just as good.

No CNC, water jetting, & powder coating was used here to achieve more then what you have.

The only thing that is eye appealing is your traction bars...no one sells them for our trucks especially those that are lower then usual. Some people do fabricate them but rub on lowered vehicles up to a point. So do the forum a favor a post some specs...pics and possibly a how too.

Don't cool story me bro...i have a lot more into my modern drive train then your over engineered drop that can be achieved for a lot less.

Please forgive me for my ignorance if I am wrong but I will stand this way until l see it some other way. Seems like most of us especially hold some astronomical value to their projects (most are cases where the owner does contribute countless hours in labor). You are way over-priced and unprofessional to boot in the conversation we had. Which brings me to this...

If you can fabricate and have the tools necessary to do so...How is your kit superior to Shackles, hangers, notch , fire stone air ride kit (which takes next to nothing to make it work) and if you like a set of lowering springs with "ENERGY BUSHINGS BRO" inferior to yours?

YEEE YEEEEE!!!! LIIIVE ACTION!! HAHA.....



IM actually proud to know that overall, but maybe not 110%, my factory v6 with one coil cut springs, i installed for free under the front of my truck last night and it rides the same as my fullsize xcab did with $189 drop springs. i just had it realigned and put drop shocks on it...peice of cake and xtra cash in my pocket. hate it, im good with it

 

[bowtiefreak]

some sweet rides in here. This is the first time in a long time I've been in this section. In all honesty I'm a little scared. I feel like I wondered into a dark alley alone.

Different strokes for different folks man. I'd much rather have my components then your generic bolt on Firestone helper bags. But as long as it gets the job done and you're happy, who cares?

If you don't think you can get a good ride with altered suspension you need to do some research. There are plenty of shops and guys out there building some trick chassis that ride way better then stock. I'd have to say that my Tahoe rides quite a bit better after I altered the suspension then when it was stock.

Those builds do nothing for me. I have ruined several trucks in the past and now prefer simple bolt on setups to change when I want to do something different. Laying frame on big wheels was cool in 2005.

Sure I have all the tools and can build anyone that wants some traction bars a set. Just like my other parts, they're not cheap. You have to remove the factory rubber leaf spring bushings and install a billet piece in order for the plates to fit between the factory hanger. The hanger will also have to be clearanced to clear the link bolt. Fairly easy if you have the tools and know how. Where the cnc parts are cool is for times like this, I have everything drawn up on templates and if someone wants a set of them all I do is have them cut and they're ready to go.


Like I said everyone has their own opinion, obviously yours and mine are quite a bit different.

^^^thats super clean sir. kudos

 

[Devs93]

you guys arent helping me trying to stay away from another hoe....

 

[992dr]

Red,
Looks great man. Just curious. What has been altered on your suspension? Looks like you have a flip with some of these http://www.hotrodsandhemis.com/Traction.html with some extended brackets to catch the bar for the airride. Thats pretty clever. I'm in the process of making some of those traction bars. Caltrac sells the bushing for the front mount, I think its around $40 maybe $45 shipped.
What kind of shocks are they?
What are your plans now that you are removing the airride?


Come on guys, cant we all just get along

Those are caltracs dummy. lol you have to notch the hangers for those bolts going through. Stupid ass design, same with the 454ss trucks as i looked into those before lol

 

[992dr]

How can they be Caltracs? Caltrac does not make them for Tahoes, dummy
Tahoes have a 27" on center leaf while 1500s have a 32" on center leaf.
I know about the clearancing for the bolt, I was talking about the bushing for the plate that slides up into the hanger that bolts the front of the bars.
Unless I missed him say he modified the Caltracs to fit his Hoe.

Come here

On the 4 doors there are several crossmembers that need to be modified. One of them has the passenger upper shock mount. Since I wanted to add helper bags I removed it fully. Then I removed the driver side upper shock mount and made the plates to bolt a crossmember in using the original rivet holes (had to drill holes on the passenger side) since I was using the flip kit plate to mount the lower bag/shock bar I decided to add the traction bars. Then I removed all the factory spare tire crossmember stuff and added some plates that bolt in using the factory holes and then made a crossmember that bolts to those that hold a tank, compressor, valves etc.

Not caltracs but I did some what go off their design. I had some caltracs on my 06 crew cab so I made some for the Tahoe. Bushing, sleeve and plates for the leaf are similar to theirs i just made them fit the Tahoe. I didn't want the bars to hang low so I clearanced the hanger, which was easy to do after I made the template.

I think I am going to build a bolt on 4 link with coilovers. I'll use these shocks and just put the coils on them. I could make 2 setups at the same time if anyone is interested. Going to be built using all laser cut pieces that will be tig welded and powder coated gloss black.

I need some factory front hangers if anyone has some they wanna sell cheap.

Factory crossmembers

How much would a setup like that run? I eventually want to bag my tahoe. Would that work with a full bagged suspension?

Are these what your looking for?

Yeah that's what I need. I sent you a PM.

Cool. I sent reply.

Nice, everything really looks good man. So, I take it you powerder coated all the new crossmembers. Cool
I'm interested in seeing your 4-link. I have been dieing for a linked rear set up, finally am going with a truck arm after seeing a 2dr with this set up make a run on an autoX track.
Since you have access to a lazer and have made those brackets for the trac bars, would you be willing to make some and sell them?
I also have a set of factory hangers. I'm using BTs lift hangers for my flip.
