I'm seriously considering dropping my Tahoe probably a 2/3. Mine does have auto-ride and it does get used for towing. I have a pontoon boat, a 20ft Sun Tracker, and also a 32 ft Sprinter travel trailer. I use an Equalizer weight distribution hitch with the camper. Can I safely lower it and still be able to tow when needed. The Tahoe has 20" wheels with the 275/55/20 Goodyears. I will not be changing wheels or tires. Also I would like to keep it as close to the factory ride quality(or better)if possible. I'm willing to sacrifice some ride quality for better looks.

So whats the best way to go about this and not lose towing capabilities??
What(or who's) kit would be best? and what about shocks with the auto-ride??

Tony, do you sell the airlift bags too?? If so how much does it add to the package?? Do you know of any reputable installers in the Kansas City area?? This job would be a little out of my comfort range to try and do myself.
