So i have a 08 yukon on 24s...i really want to drop the back but i have one concern. I am towing a boat all summer, when the boat is on the car, my rear end drops about 2 and a half inches. If i add the 2" drop that will bring me down to a total of 4 and a half inches or so, would that be an issue? and also would the drop be able to handle the weight?

i would get an air bag helper for the rear. i have them for 155.00 shipped i think it would be a good idea to have one even if you dont lower the rear.
thank you tim

What is a airbag helper? I dont have air ride or anything the truck has the stock suspension???? this is the one topic about cars that i am weak on...suspension all the info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[55belairtim]

air bag helpers are in addition to your factory suspension. they help raise the back end up when a load is placed on it.

That woudl work no problem. You would Air up the Helper bags when you are gonna be towing the boat and then air them down when you are not towing anything.

ya im in norcal. are u gonna be at a shop?

will those 2" spindles and springs mess up my factory ride?

[55belairtim]

should be a good ride still.
ill be at goodguys this weekend.
what kind of shocks do you have.
thanks tim

[R.Beezy]

oh ok i just heard about the goodguys car show over the radio just now. sounds like its going to be a big event...

but anyway its the factory shocks... front coil-over-shock suspension, if that's of any help.

[KMeloney]

Tim -- For the rear 2" kit, does the kit consist of ONLY springs? (Do I only NEED springs to drop the rear?) I'm familiar with the suspension of my previous Tahoe, but not the new body style ones yet...

Also, if I installed the rear lowering kit, and I found that it was too low for me, could I throw a spacer in there to raise it a hair?

Finally, I have autoride. Which part number(s) would I need? Again, not looking to lower the front -- only the rear.

Thanks!

[55belairtim]

hi
it would be coils and shock ext.
please call me for part number. i dont have that info in front of me currently.
thank you tim
