New Paint, New Suspension, New Pics! My Tahoe as of 4/7/2010


Recommended Posts

Looking better than ever, Steve! Just wondering though, in the extremely unfortunate situation that you got rear-ended again and the fittings on the tank busted again, would your ride immediately drop frame? Or does it have separate locking valves to keep the air in the bags? Never worked with bags before. Figured I'd ask for future reference.

thanks! if i get hit and the tank leaks, the car WILL drop.....but it will still roll. Its not good for the bags but i CAN drive at full deflate if i wanted to.

Clean and classy! Very nice.

Any negative camber on the wheels when dropped?

You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight. Quality takes time and dedication, but the end results more than pay for it.

not much at all really - she dont drop as low as if it was JUST bags like Chickens caddy......if it did it would have much more neg-camber. It has a LOT of range but dont go but about 1.5 - 2" lower then it was originally with my 4/7 (equiv.drop kit and weight). You have to keep in mind, this girl was DAMN low before i started :D I can raise it well past stock height which is nice. I prob wont drive with it raised up tho much. Maybe on the freeway if i know the road is bad, put a few extra LB's in the bags but mostly i will roll just like before it was bagged.

Oh one of the benefits though is it sits much more level and doesnt Sag in the rear as hard. Also when i hit the gas it doesnt dip in the rear anymore it stays nice and stiff. (I said "stiff" LOL) :rofl:

That leveling out, as well as not having the negative camber will be less wear and tear on the rubber of your rims then for sure, which is always a bonus!

Pics never do paint justice, but looking good!
