Will these shock's help stop my Tahoe from squatting when I hook up my boat&amp;trailer?

Shocks are more of a dampening device. They keep you from having a rough ride or having your vehicle bounce all over the road. If you are putting a load on the rear and it squats, you probably want to look towards the coils. You can put in adjustable air bags (Check out 'Air Lift' brand) or stiffer/adjustable coils to rectify the squatting. The shocks may help a little....depending on how worn they are or if they are leaking. I don't know how big your boat is (tongue weight), what year your Tahoe is, how many miles on the current shocks, what suspension you have, ect.....so hard to answer in more detail. Hope that helps.

Don't know. We used on a Class C RV with a huge back overhang - to stabilize the bouncing from just any movement within. Helped.

Again these just stabilize the trailer your jacks will take the weight of the trailer and then you tighten these up to stabilize, Hope this helps.

Unlikely since the coil spacing on typical rear springs is more than the thickness of the spacers. The spacers increase ride height by forcing the coils apart which increases the springs effective length and rate. If they don't touch adjacent coils there will be no impact and will fall out. This product is essentially limited to front springs. The lowest dollar solution for trailer load sagging is air shocks. Air shocks have a small impact on handling but the benefit is a "level" vehicle loaded and unloaded which helps maintain headlight aim.

Yes, but you will be losing those two inches in the drop if the shock. But that is the same thing for any shock you have on there with that much of alift. The best thing to do would be to relocate the anchor point for the install to get the full articulation of the shock. Other wise they will still work great, just a stiffer to a already stiff ride.

No idea. They are a shorter than stock shock for my 2500hd that's lowered a little. Reason why I bought them. I can't give you a accurate answer on if they will fit. Sorry

Those shocks are for the rear, if your truck is lowered they may be too compressed. If the truck is not lower turn the knob to a higher number you may be on its lowest setting with very little resistance, the shocks I installed work like a dream, but I have a 4x4 so it is higher off the ground stock

i used them to steady my trailer but i don't think they will hold the front of a truck

Yes. They work fine. Need to put a little extra air in shocks if you use the lowest setting.

The type of vehical is not as important as the stock spring configuration,if your Tahoe has leaf springs the overloads should if it has coils they usually don't allow room for the overload spings to sit on the axle

I actually just bought this shock and upcountry spec leaf and coil springs. They work fine, you just don't have quite as much potential downtravel. But unless you have a few other upgrades and do serious offroading you will never notice. After installing the new shocks my jeep rides a lot smoother, I highly recommend them.EDIT for clarity: the coil and leaf springs I just installed bumped me to 2.5 inches above stock height in the front and rear. The shocks work great, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

it will absorb a lot of the road vibrations over the stock dampener. I have them installed on my 2500 ram lifted and oversize tires. greatly took that "truck" feel steering and tamed it down. especially over those road transitions i.e. bridges and uneven lane changes

I do not believe any shocks will help with that problem. You will need to add some airbags or helper springs.

Tom, the shocks are shorter than your stock shocks. They fit, but the ride will not have the travel of the original shock. So if a much stiffer and easy to bottom out ride is ok, then this is a solution to lower your ride.

Hard to say. They work pretty good a damping the vibrations from our ultra high speed washer. I would try other solutions first. Sounds like pretty light construction was done.

The shock connection has to match your vehicle, specifically the width. If this matches you'll have no trouble installing these.

Yes!I used this set in my boat and made a big difference. I also bought the same set for my camper trailer and works great!
