I just got my kit, but had some concern before I put it on reference the post below about lowering and the stabilitrack
and trouble codes.
Will wait another day or so and see if the original poster comes in with an update.

Does the kit come with rear shock extenders?

Will get pics up tomorrow , have an lt3 , no stabilitrac and got them installed in about 2 1/2 hrs. by myself , need some bad **** spring compressors for the factory fronts to come off , you can do it out of the truck though , no codes except for the dead battery , had the key in acessory mode for the last hour of the install and the battery was stone dead!!!!WTF????? I thought the truck was supposed to cut everything off so you could still start truck???

But back to the kit.......... It looks awesome , and it actually lowered it 2" up front and 3" out back , may be a tick low in the rear for my liking, but to each his/her own , i like a slight rake in my vehicles. Drives awesome , A little tighter than the factory lt3 susp. can DEFINATELY tell a difference in the cornering ability. almost no sacrifice in ride Quality.

So far Good Mod!!!!

Got the kit on, and it looks killer! The front springs didn't seat all the way into the lower spring perches. Did this happen to you? Once settled, it will make the stance in the front look better. As it sits right now, the front is level w/ the back. I'll post pics and a write up on the install soon.

Is it easy to get the coilover out of the truck?

What type of spring compressor did you use, or did you take the unit to a shop and have them do it?

fyrcaptain,
Did you end up lowering your tahoe? What kit did you use? Where did you get it?

I have deicided against lowering my tahoe. I just purchased an Eibach Lowering Kit. It is part 38107.540. It is supposed to lower the front 1.8 and rear 2.4 inches. This is for the NON autoride suspension. It is brand new in the box. If you are interested let me know. I just want to recover some of the money I paid for it, $260+SH. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
