Recommendation for Reducing Side to Side Body Roll on a 2003 Chevy Tahoe 4 Wheel Drive
Question:
Hi. I have a 2003 tahoe, Z-71, 4WD, standard suspension, 9 month old bilstein HD shocks. Driving in the mountains or on curvy roads is absolutely terrifying. Posted 70 MPH turns I have to do at 50-55 MPH because of the perceived body roll. My truck feels like it will tip over. What can I do to fix this? I love my truck but I cant take it in the mountains anymore.Thanks

What I recommend to reduce roll is add some Timbren suspension enhancement. Part of what this system was designed for was the reduction of side to side roll. For a 4-wheel drive 2003 Chevy Tahoe, for the rear we have # TGMRG25C and for the front # TGMFK15A.
What this system will do is reduce the space between the axles and the factory bump stops so it will not travel as far side to side. The spring will compress and the more tension put on it the more resistant it will be. I have included links to the installation details for each set and a link to an FAQ on Timbren systems.
