Input on Mcgaughy 30012 drop kit

[Nosho47]

As the title says, I want to know if anyone had ever run this kit before. I am new to lowering a tahoe so I need some input on this.

Something that low will ride quite different from factory anyway.........

From what I have seen here though, I would not get new springs for the front.

Spindles for the 2" front will do good though.

 

[Nosho47]

Why wouldn't you recommend using the new springs up front?

 

[Goodinblack]

Because more than once I have people post about how the aftermarket springs ride worse than stock. It makes sense too because the spring rate changes.
..and one is more apt to feel the difference in the front more than the back.

I honestly would not do more than a 2/3 but that is jmho.

You should pm Modded Neo.... about his setups. He has a 3/5 right now and his truck looks sick.

Ok... I was curious on the kit because of the price being cheaper... But since the ride won't ride like stock, that will be out of the question. I guess I will be going with the belltech spindle, strut up front

 

[Goodinblack]

Honestly though IMO.... nothing rides like stock that is modified.

That is good sometimes..... bad sometimes.

I don't really like how the stock height looks like.... It's too high for me... Lol...the ride quality I hope won't change or if not better handling

 

[Goodinblack]

I think 1/2 inch drops are perfect IMO.

For most people that is not even considered a drop. LOL.

I suppose I am easily pleased.

I do the drops to eliminate boat like handling, not so much looks.

A 1/2 looks faaarrr better that the factory high back end though.

If he has auto ride he can keep that good ride with spindles and rear springs
