how does the 3/5 kit ride compared to stock? I know its tighter in turns, but is it going to ride stiffer? mine rides pretty good now on 20's, don't want to spend alot of money to make it ride harsh. did that on another car with quality springs and didn't care for it. I want it to look good but don't want to sacrifice comfort.

my kit by far rides best. The rear springs i set up to be smooth and if you need to tow will work.

here goes a customer that had a mcgaughys 3/5 on his truck before and hated it. Stiff/lost turning radius and coulnt use his 16 inch rims... he then did my custom 3/5-6 kit on his new tahoe and ill let this speak for itself. click it http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/norcalss-3-5-6-drop-kit-just-do-it.49997/

I guess I'll find out for myself soon, I just ordered your kit. Please ship it fast! I need to get it all installed and aligned before my next road trip. I love the ride the way it is stock, hopefully I"ll love it lowered, it definately will look better low.

got it all installed, been driving it a week or two. the front rides like stock, the rear, is pretty stiff. it hits real ******* bumps. will this loosen up over time? I have done the full travel mod and I'm running the 1" spacer, and it is only 4" drop in the rear currently.

I hated my rear Belltech springs. The driver's side rubbed when the weight shifted to that side. I went to Mcgaughy springs and no rubbing and a much better ride.

Went with 2/4 kit springs, spindles, shocks and put on 22's rides nice and firm handles so much better cornering.
Sudden bumps at higher speeds are harsh.
