[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8388652, member: 665412"] I guess if you want to be picky sure springs will sag, especially poor quality springs like those used by many car manufacturers. A quality spring will last 50+ years. There's a good amount of leaf sprung vehicles from back in the day that retain nearly the same ride height (minus a half inch at most). Add to that the consumer who generally doesn't give two damns about their springs and overloads them, never replaces shocks on time, and never replaces bushings or ensures the vehicle is aligned properly. Add on to that a block lift kit and you get increased axle wrap which further reduces the lifetime of the spring. My rear leaf springs are sagging a good 2 inches, obviously they're crap quality. I'm not pulling this out of my ***, quality leaf springs will not sag to the point of needing to be replaced in a vehicles lifetime. Just checked, and it looks like they only have OEM springs for your tahoe because the length is different than that of my silverado. Yours is 27inches and mine is 32 the site says. Good news is that they're 99$ brand new, I'd recommend calling them and seeing if they can make a 5 or 7 thick spring that'll give you about 3 inches of lift in the rear, I doubt it'll be any more than $200 a spring and I'd be willing to be it'll ride better than your current set up if you got a set of 3 inch bilsteins as well.
