[QUOTE="Marky Dissod, post: 24706, member: 13218"] PPVs & SSVs did not use helper springs (nor did the Hummer H2, which is the closest thing to a Tahoe 2500 I can think of). Granted that's not exactly an argument, but the tendency to use GM OE stiffer springs & shocks has yielded positive results in the past. Any overloading in the future will NOT exceed 1800lb, and will not exceed 1500lb until after I've installed stiffer springs. Had not considered heavier duty 'bump stops'; think I'm already sold on the idea of them though. If I crank them all the way up, does the front increase in height / angle? Need to avoid this, must avoid any height gain front or rear. A torsion bar unloading tool also sounds like an idea I'm already sold on, though. [/QUOTE]
