Did you C-Notch it? How close are you to hitting the frame with the axle?

the only thing I have done to the suspension in the past week is put in rear shocks

I would have taken pictures of my c-notch if I did one

I can't keep secrets for that long haha

How did shocks lower you 1.5" to 2". That makes NO sense at all.

You would of have to put shocks that were 1" short and compress the springs for it to hold the rear down. I can't believe your trying to fool my friend that builds custom hotrods!

That is kind of true thehoe92, shocks can get drop lengths down (going from long and stiff, to soft shorter ones), but there is no way you should have 1" less of drop going from no shocks at all, to short shocks. If anything it will jack your truck up.
Or maybe i'm just still confused.....

The stock shocks could have been holding it up, my truck dropped when I swapped my autorides for bilsteins and so did Nick's tahoe. My springs took a minute to settle these belltechs I have now are still dropping after two weeks. Also his truck may have had the big ass gas shocks that will actually contact the axle housing thus preventing full droop of the suspension.
