2” rear lowering spring

[95escahoe]

Has anyone used a 2” rear lowering spring on there truck? Based on my measurements the front will be a 1/2 an inch higher which hopefully I can get with the stock keys or get an aftermarket set, has anyone else done this?

I am doing it next week on my 05 Denali. My rear fenders sit exactly 2" higher than the front. I ordered the Eibach 2" rear springs and there is plenty of room to adjust the front with the stock keys 1" - 2" to your liking. On my 03 Denali I went with a 2/3 kit with shocks and was very VERY unhappy with the harsh ride it gave. It was so choppy and bouncy in the rear, even after cutting the rear bump stops off completely. I'm hoping the Eibach springs and retaining my factory Air shocks will keep the smooth ride on this truck.

Any link to these springs?

If I just do the 2” rear drop that’s the plan, I’m kicking around doing a 2/3 Belltech kit with spindles up front that comes with Belltech shocks

I'm in the same boat as you.

I’m most likely just going to do the 2” rear spring & shocks for now so it rides better then maybe go lower down the road

What brand and model were those 3" springs and shocks?

What size drop? And do you have the shock extenders?

2-4 inch drop and no shock extenders, just springs.

 

[Tamcphail89]

How much for the springs?

Well I started with an ebay 2/3 kit labeled MaxTrac that included shocks. I don't recall the name on the shocks though. At first I had forgotten to cut the bump stops, so it rode extremely rough and bouncy. I went back in and cut 1/2 off with a big ride improvement but still not good. I went back again and removed the entire bump stop and it still rode really rough. So I replaced the springs with Belltech 3" springs (with 1" spacer) so they were a 2" drop and it still rode extremely stiff (worse than my friends F350). I suppose now it could have been the shocks.... I sold that truck and drove something different for a few months, but now I'm back in a Yukon Denali again, so I'm hoping to learn from those mistakes. This time I'm keeping the original shocks and air system and going with the Eibach springs. Wish me luck...

Did you ever decide on what you're going with?

Ive got belltechs and new 4600s and they are too soft to carry any load. I ended up adding airlift helper bags and a compressor.

Most likely the Crown 2” rear springs and maybe a 2/4 drop down the road
