If he wants a *4*/6 drop then 2" coils and 2" spindles will get the 4"
They are not identical to the trucks. Tahoes cross-reference to extended cab trucks, NOT standard cab. Because they weigh more than standard cab trucks, GM used thicker brake rotors, so the spud in the spindle is 7/16" longer to accommodate. also, the additional weight of the extended cabs and Tahoes requires a stiffer spring. Using a 2" coil for a standard cab will lower the Tahoe more than 2".
As I recommended to Pedro separately, it's informative to closely review the manufacturers' catalogs to see what part numbers cross-reference. I learned the hard way about the spindles being different lengths... (BellTech uses the same casting on both, but different spuds, so when I needed to replace one I simply ordered it based on the part # cast into the back of my old spindle and got the one for a standard cab truck, and there was almost no thread sticking out of the end of my brake rotor to get the nut on to)
