Hey guys, just wanderin if anyone has done or thought about swaping the rear suspension out of a tahoe into a silverado. didnt know if this would help out with the traction issues out back or not since its not leafs in a tahoe. any other suggestions for traction in the rear (besides the obvious 4 point) would be much appreciated. TIA.

 

Keep what you got, go with a custom 4-link and Hal Coilovers

Better than swappin out stock ****...

 

what kinda price are we talkin though? b/c if i can get tahoe stuff dirt cheap and the coils are better than the leafs i got now wouldnt it be worth it or am i missing something?

 

That's what chevy did with their 2003 SEMA RCSB SS truck. It had a Tahoe rear susp. setup.

 

If you can get the parts cheap and can do the fab'n then git-r-dun.

 

agree

 

will not work

there was a couple threads a LONG time ago, like 3-4 years ago when goldenvelvet was active on here.

the 2003 SEMA rcsb ss truck grafted a tahoe rear frame section onto the silverado frame in order for it to work, the frame widths are deifferent between the two trucks, more work than necessary IMO. just get a 4link and QA1 coilovers

 

cool thanks for the help guys......what is the best 4 link setup to go with? i am new to the suspension side of things

 

Just throw a set of Caltracts on the leaf springs.

 

i agree on the caltracs, from whati hear a 4link is a bit difficult for the average individual to setup properly, its needs to be setup for your app. by a suspension professional
