    Can you explain that gear bit? The tcase is after the transmission, so the front and rear gears will still need to be the same...

    The 4L60e has a first gear of 3,06 and the 4L80e has a first gear of 2.48 but if you get a 4l80e out of a motor-home or panel truck the first gear ratio is 2.74, so you can either change the front and rear diff from 4.10 to 4.56 or change the gearing in the transmission and or get a 4l80e with a 2.74 first gear.

    Its super easy. if you can drop the trans and put it back in. you can do your own swap. to make it easy get the t-case shaft from Tme2kill. I can give you all the measuments to fab your own cross memeber. you don't even have to cut your factory cross memeber just add to it. I have a wrire up on it some where around here.

     

    Yes it seems like a pretty straight forward process. CHPSPECIAL will be doing the swap ;) I have already contacted Time2Kill and I will send out my input gear next week. Also I believe I'm going to get a rebuilt 80 from the dealer because I want an 80 out of a panel truck or motor-home because the gearing if different. I don't want to change both front and rear diff to 4.56. I have read your write up and it was helpful, if you could send me those measurements that would be great.

    It crossed my mind, but I would think at minimum you would need a new crossmember welded between the frame rails and most people shy away from things if they arent bolt on...

    I'll be the first to order if you decide.

    Awesome. I'm hoping to drop my 2" in the front and 3-4 in the back. I have my coil over kit sitting in the shop. All that's left to get is the shocks.

     

    What do you think of the ride? Any diffrence? Handling?

    I think the ride is awesome, definitely a big difference. It just feels so much smoother of a drive. Something I wish I did awhile ago. It rides some much better in the front I notice the harsh ride in the rear. So far the handling feels good but I have not really got into it around any turns or anything to aggressive. I would like to do the ride tech rear bag kit next to really get a better ride and better handling.

    I need to take some new measurements on the current height, I had a lot of old parts in my bed so I will post of the current height. Before the coils went on I had lowered the front 1/2". Depending on which qa1 you get you can either keep it close to stock or lower it. The aq1's that I ordered are suppose to keep it about 34.5" but I went a little lower than that.

    Lookin good, I wanted to get my wife a TBSS but she likes her Tahoe too much, room for travel etc. Thats why i opted to swap the front end on the Tahoe to SS

     

    Do you have any pictures of the tahoe? I had a suburban before the tbss and was going to do the front end conversion but didnt.
