Currently mcgaughys 2/3 spindles up front and springs in the rear with shock extenders and overload bags 0psi and street perf shocks all the way around. Wife hates the ride. Looking at Tony's 3/5-6 kit.

Wheel/tire size

I'm trying to decide between Tony's 2/4 with 22 and 285/45
or the 3-5/6 with 24s and 295/35

 

[04charcoalhoe]

Just ordered the 3-5/6 kit with the adjustable panhard bar now I just need to find some stock spindles

What's your tire size @04charcoalhoe

295/35/24

^^ @crazycrew
go with the 295/35/24 that's what I am running. Measurements are negligible except for the sidewall. It makes a huge difference in looks overall tho especially that low.

 

[crazycrew]

Yeah, I've been researching the sizes. . Idk. Going to that drop kit is at least double the price.

Here is my tahoe it has a djm 2-3 drop with keys and coils and shock extenders 20 with 275 55 20 tires

@Fosscore, what kind of measurements do you have from ground to fender on fronts and rear? And you are 6" in the rear and 3" lca's and de-crancked a bit in the front right?

If I had to do it all over again on mine I would've went with 285/40/22s on my 375s and if I had 24s I would've definitely went with 295/30/24s. Both 31" tall, reason being for a little more clearance and ride wouldn't have suffered much if any.

@04charcoalhoe

Spacer is pulled in the rear. De-cranked a bit up front. 0 psi in the Airlift bags. Free travel mod. 295/35/24s

• Front Ground to Fender Lip 32 7/8""
• Rear Ground to Fender Lip 33 1/8"

 

[04charcoalhoe]

@Fosscore Ok cool. Just put the exact same kit on , but I left the 1" spacer in the rear. Looks like I'm gonna need to pull that out. You think it will effect my alignment if I pull those out after I get it aligned? I don't think I'm as low as you in the front. How much do the rear springs settle and roughly how long does that take. I'll get some pics up soon.

 

[Fosscore]

Should be no effect on the alignment pulling the spacers. Can't recall on the rear springs, but that free travel mod is must if you haven't done it. It will ride like crap if you don't cut that bump stop off. That is more key than the spacer or the springs in the rear. @04charcoalhoe

 

[04charcoalhoe]

Yes definitely did the free travel mod. Getting alignment tomorrow.

@Fosscore how far away are your rear bump stops from touching in the rear? With the 1" spacer in the rear and the free travel mod done it looks like I'm only 2 to 3" at most from touching now.
