if it has torsion bars they are adjustable by unscrewing the bar key adjustment bolt. This will put all the alignment angles out so an alignment will be needed afterwards.

Usually on tahoes the front end is lower and you either have to lower the rear end or raise the front end to level it out. If your front end has no springs, then it must ride really rough.
