[@jeremyallbritton4219]

I been curious about this, definitely glad to see an in depth video on it!

[@Zandalism]

man I'm glad I found your video I'm about to do the exact same kit to my Tahoe ty

[@montes305]

Yo bro how did it go

[@thefoxchamber]

The daily is looking good, bro.👌🏾

[@HicksHouseVideos]

Thanks, I am really enjoying it, I need to polish it bad, but it runs great.

[@nestorcaamano307]

Looks awsome bro

Thanks bro

My suburban springs Were wore out probably close to 2 inches low and the receiver hitch would drag sometimes and got the bump stops

[@clarkeboss1072]

Mane 06 tahoes or dinos dont see them around too often had one and had to sell it cuz of covid...smh bought a gmc yukon to replace it...love these trucks and turning mine into a race truck

[@BodyWeakDotNet]

Great Video...

[@HicksHouseVideos]

Thanks

[@dklthibodeaux]

Looks awesome! I'm in the process of deciding how low I want to go with my 02 suburban I'm thinking 3/5 but kinda worried about scraping

[@HicksHouseVideos]

Mine is a 3/5 I haven’t scraped.

@@HicksHouseVideos how’s your ride quality over bumps and road

[@HicksHouseVideos]

It. Is much better after I upgraded to bilstien shocks , and now I have cut the bump stops out of the back.

[@santiagoalmanza7422]

Bout some coils from eBay and they came coiled up together and get get them off any suggestions

[@neidxox2770]

I have a question brother, there is no problem if I only use torque wrenches and put new upper A weapons without changing the splinters, is there any negative consequence?

[@anthonyparga1977]

I went online & selected the trim & whenever I put the LS one it says not compatible

[@spottedsaint957]

That's a good looking Tahoe! Did you lose ride comfortability after lowering it? I've been thinking about having the same thing done to my Yukon because my wife has a little trouble getting in and out of it. My father inlaw also has to use a walker and /or a cane to get around, so lowering it seems to be a viable option to factory ride height. I probably wouldn't be swapping out the wheels because I kind of like the stock wheel that with it ,but later on who knows? BTW, it's good to see the 2wd Tahoes/Yukons getting some love! So many videos on KZbin feature the 4wd models ,not that there's anything wrong with them, but not everyone has the 4wd models. Great job 👍

[@HicksHouseVideos]

It still rides pretty good, but it does bottom out every once in a while.

[@kerryhunter6304]

Do the free travel mod bud look it up .. won't bottom out anymore

[@geneb.9619]

Love your video..my wife bought me a 05 tahoe , one owner all leathrr 2 wd woth 119 k on the miles..my question is what size tires did you use..its go I ng to be my daily driver..uour video gets me excited..thanks.

[@HicksHouseVideos]

I use the stock 20” tire size, I don’t remember what size it is right now.

[@chonvalverde7079]

Is the 06 set up the same as a 05 cuz that kit said it won’t fit

[@nathanriggle3261]

What is that phone/gps mount? I like the looks of that!

[@HicksHouseVideos]

It is a mount from Amazon and I just mounted it to the seat mount.

[@michaelivey7445]

You mention using shorter shocks in rear. I want to do the same for my 2/4" lowered Escalade, but can't find informantion to know which shock to buy. Can you tell me the make and part number, or at least what truck the shocks you used are made for? Thanks

[@HicksHouseVideos]

Look up drop shocks or lowered shocks

What are your wheel and tire specs.? Love the Capri btw. I have an 81 Capri myself.

Nice video, are u still running factory shocks or do u have to get a different size?

[@HicksHouseVideos]

Factory size, but I am going to go with shorter ones in the back.

[@trulyblessedziiz1030]

If possible can you send me a link when you make your decision and did u have run extenders for the set up as well?

[@HicksHouseVideos]

It came with extensions but they are still a little to long. I’m going to use some shocks I had from another project.

What was the shock absorber kit you used for the front!😮

Finally got around to buying this kit. Did you run just a factory length shocks? And how do you like them so far?

[@duaneshoemake7826]

We're they able to align it with the torsion bars backed out?

They got it close, I haven’t had had any tire from it so I think it’s good. I have driven it several thousand miles already.

[@kimberlyrichardson5779]

You still have the Tahoe? How’s the quality of the parts? Has it been a good ride? Thx Anthony

[@HicksHouseVideos]

I do still have it, I have since cut the bump stops out and added bilstein shocks. I rides pretty well, but it does bottom out the back on huge bumps.

[@vtecbanger3180]

Did this improve handling? Im trying to build a better handling family rig myself.

[@HicksHouseVideos]

I think it did for sure.

[@angelalvarez1289]

Idk if this is just mine but when I went to put the shock extender on the driver side the brake line we in the way for me and I still can’t figure out how to put it cuz when I got to drop it from the jack it like starts stretching the brake line and it’s gonna snap it

[@HicksHouseVideos]

I do t remember having a brake line issue.

[@oscarin5465]

I know its late but did you need new drop shocks for the front?

[@HicksHouseVideos]

No I used stock length shocks.

How the drive with the 2/4 drop …cause on my Tahoe I have 2/4 drop has well but from the rear ever bump I go on the st hit n especially when I drive with family shake so I mean I need to put spacer ?

[@_bis4build_]

You cut the bump stop bracket so it has more travel. There are plenty videos on here with the mod.

[@user-qm7eu2ft9k]

Another question, sir. Just need confirmation, so the front Bilstein 5100 shocks won't we affected by the 2" drop?

No because it is using a drop spindle so it still uses stock length shocks

[@mauryamckendrick5446]

It all depends on the vehicle you are getting the parts for. Tahoe's and Yukon's and the trucks if you look at the parts he got they are literally just big chunks of metal!! All the important items like the ball joints or any part that moves and can fail, it's all factory stuff that is used not aftermarket items know what I mean? I agree with you totally on say Honda civics and Integras, I got "coilovers" and upper control arms that were adjustable for camber correction. Two different types one had the mounting bolts that held the arm to the strut tower were slotted so the entire arm would move in and out. The other was a ball joint that was slotted so it could move and bolts would lock it in place. Both kits almost killed me when after just a few hundred miles they broke!! Ball joint came apart like the actual joint pulled out of the socket part and the other style with the slotted mounting bolts they split and came out of the spot they should have been in!! Stuff like that definitely dont go cheap on!!
