3/5 drop on 4's is expensive. Lots of mods to get it to fit, and ride worth a sh*t.

I'm looking to drop mine... just can't afford it right now. I figure it's going to cost around a grand.

People with drops - what did you pay?

3/5 kit is going to cost the same no matter what size rims you have...

If you have 24s instead of 22s...(although they are 2 inches larger), your only going to notice 1 inch difference to the fender...

You'll just go with a thinner tire if you have 24s...I'd say a 30 series tire would be good

I paid about $250 for the front spindles and about another $250 or so for the rear springs and shocks.

i only have 22's but i did a 2/3 drop and dont recomend it just go with the 3/5 becuase as soon as you do a 2/3 ur just going to want to turn around and do a 3/5 my 2cents.

'preciate it:cheers: McGaughy's 2" spindles and stock keys de-cranked about 1.5" up front and DJM 5" drop coils in the rear. The 2/3 didn't stay on long before I decided I wanted lower and went about 3/5.

That looks good too but the front looks like it needs to be lowered a lil more.

Here's a 2/3 (keys up front, springs & shock extenders in the rear) on my old tahoe on 24's 305/35/24

I'm still kinda worried to do a 3/5.. but I think I'm going to go for it.

I run 305/35/24's so if JK can do it.. hopefully so can I.

JK, is there anything I need to be especially aware of on the 3/5? I'll just try and copy what you have installed on yours. The shop I'm going to take it to is really good.. so I'm sure they will get it no prob.

Would keys work on every tahoe and yukon(01-06)?

Yes, but up to a certain point. You can only drop the front so much with keys until it's too far to re-align the camber back to spec. You can still usually get a good 2-3 inches with keys on our trucks and still get the camber specs back on track.

I would remove the rear bumpstop brackets on the frame and relocate the rear bumpstops. This will give you some add'l clearance for a better ride. If not, the bumpstops sit so close to the axle, that everytime you hit a bump or drive on a rough road, it will bottom out and have a harsh, bouncy ride.

People with drops - what did you pay?

I paid $300 for my McGaughy's 3/5 kit (keys, springs, control arm relocators) and another $100 for shocks and installed it myself, so $400 total. I run 22's(305/45's) though but my rig rides like a dream(free travel mod a must). I had a lot of rubbing issues at first but then I took my isolators out and the additional 1/2'' or so adjusted the angle of the whole thing and now I barely rub up front. I am going to roll my rear fenders soon to eliminate the minor rubbing I get on corners at high speeds and get a new rear sway bar.

Check Ebay and Craigslist, I see kits going for cheap all the time.

DO 3/5!! and make sure you cut the rear bump stops and bracket and put new aftermarket ones, and you will spend way less than a grand... http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a250/kandywhips504/141.jpg

3/5 McGaughys kit with free travel mod and McGaughys drop shocks in the rear. Rubber isolators removed. 24" x 10" rims w/ 275/30 rubber. I bought from Tim on this site. He has the best prices by far. I have the front keys cranked all the way to bring the front up. I am working on getting the back to sit level with the front. It's also a 4x4.
