Shock advise....98 Tahoe 2dr 5/7 drop (need firmer front shocks)

[Cole Trickle]

Alright guys I need your help....

Recently dropped the front of my Tahoe an extra inch and swapped out the blown old school belltech shocks for some monroe sensa tracs that I read about on the forums.

The shocks ride nice but the rebound is slow and eveytime I hit a nasty dip or transition in the road my front tires are making hard contact with the inner fenders.....when I say hard I mean it sucks and needs to go away...lol

What are guys running with a 5" drop in the front?

I hate to say it but I would sacrafice ride quality for not destroying my truck at this point

This forum is pretty dead but I thought I would pass along my findings...

Replaced the Monroes with the new Belltechs and it cured about 85% of teh issues I was having.

Much better and I only got a slight scrub on the way to work where it normally thrashes the inner fender. Shocks are firm w/o being harsh.

I'm happy and should havve gone this route from the jump instead of wasting $$$ on the sensa tracs

Good to know.

Doetsche Tech shocks are also an option or the rebranded summit versions have been very popular.
I was using BellTech shocks and couldnt stand them, too soft. I threw my Bilsteins on and they seem to be ok but, I'm still up in the air on what I'm going to get.
