I just did a 3/4 drop to my Tahoe. I thought removing the rubber from the rear stops would be enough but it's not. I had to cut out the bump stop mounts. A few other things should be taken into consideration. The rear axle shifts to the right (passenger side) as the vehicle is lowered. It also moves slightly forward which brings the wheels forward in the wheel well. If you're a stickler for stuff like this you may want to get an adjustable panhard bar and adjustable rear control arms. Then you can center your rear axle properly.
my tahoe botoms out going over any sized bump. if i stand on it and jump it bottoms out as well i have no cracked springs could it be struts. or could something be binding. it happened after i changed a tire
I put Eibach 2 inch drop springs on and never reinstalled the plastic spring spacers that were on my factory springs anyone know if that changes the ride quality ?
Hey man i have a question about my truck ever time i have people in my truck it sit low and i just replaced the r Shocks front.and back and when i hit a dip in the road it fell like the rear slam What you think cause that and i have to replace all my.bumpstops they all.are rusted out
Springs might be worn out or sagging. If you cut the bump stops like I did it would have more travel. You could add new stops to stop it from banging hard. Might still bottom out tho on the stop
You shouldn’t have been resting on the stops anyway just going down the road. I don’t think cutting the bump stops would cause a sway unless you’re heavily loaded down. Weld the stops back on if you think it’s that.

Yeah that’s definitely doing it the right way. I’ll definitely consider it. I didn’t know there’s parts available for that issue.
Ever have any issues with the lower control arm bottoming out on the frame rail ?

@@ThatAccordGuy my truck is normal height its not lowered or anything so it could be my.springs
Yep
What shocks
Can I do this mod on a not lowered Tahoe to get more suspension travel?
Part number for belltech bump stop?
How you mount the bump stop?
What springs did you use?
Some eBay 4” drop springs
How did you lower the front end and does it bottom out or no
Front is lowered with 2" drop keys. Doesn't bottom out in front
What drop is it in the back ?
4" drop but I think it could be more after it's all settled in
Holy rust!
Haha frame is in good shape on this. Guess you don’t live in the northeast 😂
@@ThatAccordGuy No sir but great video!

Lol yeah maybe you were riding on the stops before? It is a big boat.
