HOLY FUCKING BADASS MAN.

never seen a tahoe done that ACTUALLY LOOKS FUCKING SICK!
this is gonna be titties!

but... just making sure. the photos of the link setp are shopped', right? its just leafs right now?

take that back. obviously just shopped'. but for others, that cant tell...........

 

[Tahoe_prelander]

Thanks man! Yeah that rear section with CO/bypass is photoshopped for conceptual!!

Currently it’s just the OEM 4 link set up with custom control arms to push the axle back for 37s, track bar, king 2.5 smoothies, and rockjock sway bar and coils, no leaf’s.

She will be keeping the OEM geometry just stretched about 10” total and cycle about 18” once finished.

 

[UR_Mawm69]

HELL YEAH.




oh and...... i love what you did with the center console! haha

Appreciate ya!!
I am in the process of moving but in the next month or two I will be making a website with random universal parts I make for my build to sell.
That console plate fits 07-13 gmt900 platforms. Just have to verify you have the correct dash and the trucks have two versions and SUV just that one.
I have a picture to easily identify.

Yup 4 bucket seats. Didn’t want the shocks going in the back seat.

Haha that is my traction board and rotopax fuel/water mount. It opens with the lift gate and allows me full access to the rear without having to lock or unlatch anything.

Passengers get a nice center console/cooler for beer with locking tumblers

what rear end is it? I was always curious if an H2 rear end would bolt up fairly easy to an SUV

And pics of the rear suspension as it is now?

It’s a 14 bolt SF out of a Escalade ESV. It bolts directly in. Every bracket is the same. You can find the axle under any GM SUV with a 6.2 or 2500 versions. But all the trucks and SUVs are built on the same frame. The SUVs just have a different rear suspension which is why they are called GMT920/930 and not GMT900 but all built around the GMT900

The reason I say H2 is the rear links are all the same part numbers, just never had a chance to measure the bracket spacing on an H2 to know if it was a feasible swap. I know it’s 8 lug but it wouldn’t be hard to get a set of shafts made
