I put 22's on my wife's 03 2wd 5.3 Tahoe and now it's more obvious how the rear sits high. I don't want to do anything at all to the front I just want it to sit level. Do I need a 2" or 3" rear drop spring and which brand is recommended that will work with the stock shocks? Thanks!

3" Is going to put you closer than the 2" will. However, if the spring settles over time you might be sitting lowert than 3" with a 3" spring. So personally I would reccomend a 2" spring.

As far as brand, look into Belltech, MG's, and some others that I can't seem to remeber.

Thanks, I found the Eibach Pro-kit 2" drop for $159 at Autozone with free shipping so I went that route.

I certainly hope these are going to settle. My Eibach Pro-kit 2" lowering springs dropped the rear 1/2". :(

I can try pulling the shocks, but I don't have the autoride or anything. These Eibach's were the exact same height as my stock springs, which is odd, although they are progressive rate.

doesnt hurt to try. The 2 inch eibach springs allways gave less drop then advertised. You might have to switch it up.
