That DOES look good! What's the drop? I hope 3/4!

Thanks. I'm the one that started the "Guess the Drop?" thread, so we determined I'm realistically around a 3/4-5, since mine seems to sit a little lower than the part descriptions suggest... I'll be installing Tony's rear 6" springs in the upcoming months to level it out and get a better ride. The 20s looked classy and the extra sidewall was nice for being lowered.

Since Jen drives it, what is her preference?

As-is or lifted. Definitely not lowered. She's 5' 3" on a good day so it's all she can do to avoid curbs with it at stock height. I'm not gonna make it more of a burden for her. If I ever lower it, it'll be well into next year after we get her another car and the Tahoe is "mine" again. Even then, I'll have front and rear cameras on it so she doesn't pull up too far when parking the few times she's sure to drive it.

I'm glad to have a decent visual of how mine will sit and also to know that I won't necessarily HAVE to get 22s right away after lowering. I'm saving that pic...

I lowered my 07 Yukon shortly after purchase, with the Belltech complete kit. Attached is a couple of pictures. I had some problems, but I did get them worked out. Primarily, tire rub. But I found that it was the width of the previous tires I was using. I now have 285-45-22. Previously it was 305-40-22.
