Z56 Tahoe, Lift to equal
I picked up a 99 police edition tahoe. It is 2wd 5 lug. I am wondering what can be done to equal out the stance of the truck. I have drop shackles for the rear but really do not want the truck that low to equal it out.
It is possible to change the front spring so it sits higher in the front to match. Will and 4x4 springs work I know the setup is different. I am unsure of the parts offered for this vehicle. |

I remember 4x4s having torsion bars in front rather than coil springs.
You could put heavier springs in the front, out of say a 3/4 ton or a big block truck of the same year. You could buy a front lift kit. FABTech makes 2wd lift kits for most common chassis platforms. Any spring shop can de-arch your rear springs exactly what drop you desire. Plan to pay about 100 bucks to have this done if you carry them in. Considerable more if they have to R&R the springs and de-arch them.

Thanks. Just wondering how much taller a 3/4 ton truck would be. The truck now sits pretty low since the police issue has high rate lower springs. I think I might have to start measuring some vehicles heights to figure out where I need to get.
