2” Rear Lowering Springs “Reverse” Level

[mb1500]

Thinking about leveling out my suburban Ltz with 2” lower springs in the rear, anyone have before/after or any feedback? Looking at using this: https://www.suspensionsuperstore.co...ban-w-autoride-2-rear-lowering-kit-prs-27102/

I used Mcgaughys 2" lower kit in the rear only.
it sits perfectly level and rides way better.
Highly recommend, easy Install.

That looks good. Perfect option just to bring the rear end down a touch to match the front and not have to worry about the compressor.

Got any details on the install even though different year truck? @SSpinball

Looks good, thanks!

install very simply, jack up rear, let rear axle drop down.
wrestle old spring out(No longer compressed)
Install new springs, add lower shock extensions, done.

Sweet man. Thx that info.

I have a 2016 LTZ and it appears to have the same stance with the rear lowered. How can I tell if a lowering kit was installed?

Look at the rear shocks. If they have shock extensions bolted into the original holes (http://djmsuspension.com/product/se2007/) then there is a drop.

Lookin good!

Thanks for the info! It doesn't look like I have the shock extensions. Just the factory shock mounts. Is there another way it could have been dropped? My Tahoe sits level and it's definitely not lifted in the front.

Did you use the shock shackle relocation or any adjustment made to the sensor rods?

* correction you already mentioned shock extensions

Did your ride quality change at all with this?

Any long term feedback on ride quality?

One note is to loosen the two bolts that hold the brake hoses and ABS sensor wires to the rear axle--otherwise might be in for a world of hurt...

Maybe post up your rear fender height numbers and compare with others.

Mcgaughys 2" lower kit in the rear only. Rides way better than stock.

Which kit did you go with? I'm looking on Mcgaughy's website and they are not showing any rear leveling kits for a 2015+ GM SUV... I really like the stance of your rig!

What is everyone using for non-air ride vehicles? Just traded a 2016 LTZ (had air ride)that I installed Tony's kit on (and loved it!) for a 2019 LT non-air ride. Want same look but worried about it being too low in rear without air ride linkage adjustability. @NORCAL SS

Looking good indeed. I dropped my rear using springs as well. Up front, I swapped the spindles.

Switching springs for a level ride is the way to go.

Im looking to level (lower the rear) as well and don't see the Mcgaughy's kit for 15'-20' on their site. Can anyone point me in direction for the best setup please? Tried contacting NorcalSS but haven't had any luck. I have an 18' LT with air ride.

Thanks
