Default Help, Rear suspension on Tahoe sagging.

I don't know much about suspensions and towing. I was wondering what you 4 x 4 guys recommend I do about trying to raise the rear of my Tahoe to match up with the font? It sags about 1 to 2 inches without any weight. I plan of pulling a trailer soon and need to beef up the suspension somehow.

Let me know what my options are. I would like to at least have it level when I'm not towing or hauling additional weight.

Thanks!

If you replaced the "Autoleveling" shocks, the rear will sag. Bilstein sells replacement springs at about $50 each that will reaise the rear about 2 inches. Most shock places should be able to get them. I got them online but not from a sponsor so I can't post where.

You can always use load leveling air bags their cheap, easy to install, and will smooth the ride out considerably.
