This post is long over due as I did this back in mid-late summer. For now though, the suspension is complete for awhile. Previously, I only had 2" drop coils for the rear to level out the rake on the truck. In reality, the rear lowered between 2.5-3". I kept wrestling with whether I should do anything with the front and if I did, how I would do it and how low I would go. This truck is a family truck that does light off-roading (cabin land so uneven, rutted roads and nasty minimum maintenance forest roads), and needs to be usable enough to tow our 4,000 lb travel trailer.
So I went with 2" drop spindles for the front. Along with that swap, I also performed the following:
New front wheel bearings
Front "quick struts" and new rear shocks as there were about 120k miles on the others
Right front sway bar link, which was completely missing
Front Diff fluid change
Rear Diff fluid change
Transfer case fluid change
I shaved down the front air dam to still leave some ground clearance
24" Dub Baller wheels with TPMS
The only thing left is repairing hail damage from the spring, that should be done before summer comes.![Tahoe Before.jpg Tahoe Before.jpg](https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/data/attachments/386/386322-123f4ba7dd27c3de45af6a8769760830.jpg)
