Drop shocks for a 98 tahoe with 2" spindle/3" spring drop
 
1 Attachment(s)
Looking for some recomendations before I buy new shocks.

Recently installed belltech 3" springs on the 2 door and changed out the blown nitro shocks for some monroe sensa tracs.

Well the ride is nice but the shocks aren't working for me. When I drive the truck at freeway speeds and come up on a dip or bump in the road I'm getting into the inner fender really bad.

Its so bad that I'm afraid its going to destroy the truck so it needs to go away. Already ruined my Alpine HU on a nasty both tires into the fender well bump;):(

Any suggestions for something that will react or provide a ton more rebound than the crappy monroes.

Thanks

Is it getting into the inner fender or the lip on the edge of the fender? Mine was rubbing hard on the fender lip until I rolled them. Mines all good now that they are rolled.

Fender lips are rolled so its all good there...

Its not hitting at the very top but I probably have 3" of clearance before it hits

The monroes are floaty and its rubbing the inner fender well HARD!!

I'd look it up and see what DJM or BellTech recommends
