97 Tahoe...Rear looks saggy...

[Biggwaukegan]

Common problem with these tahoes..looking at the truck from a distance it looks like the rear of the truck sits a tad lower than the front. had the new shocks and put on it and it rides great, but i sure would like it to have the rear end up a lot higher. any suggestions? thanks:Chevy:

If your leafsprings are above the axle it is fairly simple to get rid of the sag and even gain a couple inches. Your stock riser block is probably 2 in. so if you want to boost up your back end you could add a 3 in. block or even a 4 in. block for a 1 or 2 in. rise. You can do this yourself if you have the tools or go to an auto shop and have it done complete for probably 150 bucks. just look online for leveling kits and riser blocks, you dont have to do the front end so you dont new torsion bar keys.

Where is the riser block located? got any diagrams? thanks..

go to belltech.com and see what they have up there.. theres millions of parts you could get to raise and lower your truck.. anything could help that little "sag" of yours..

 

[chevyrider]

The riser blocks are located just underneath the leafsprings of the rear axle. If you look at the rear end of the axle and you are riding on leaf springs then you will see the stock block with stock u bolts attached, if you were to change them out you could add a 2in. block to add 2 inches or a 4 in. block to add 4 in. etc.

P.S. i added the markings to those pictures, but the images themself came from - http://www.automedia.com I have to give credit where credit is due.

Here's another thought.. I got them at a great price, but it definitely gives me a 0-4"+ adjustment for the rear.. the original reasoning though was for towing the race rig around, unfortunately, since I've done them late last fall, as well as other modifications, programming, etc. I haven't had the race car & trailer around to tow. D'oh!
