Anyone have pics of their lowered z71

[thirsty1258]

Looking for pics to see what it would look like. I know the suspension is somewhat different but I plan to do no off road stuff and love the look of the kmc slide. Is it basically the same as lowering all the other trims

Not being condescending, but why would you lower a 4x4? AWD I can understand, but why not just trade for a slightly newer 2wd?

 

[07Burb]

I've seen many 4x4 rides lowered

with that said, just cuz the OP said Z71 doesn't mean it has to be 4x4

 

[jeffyrc]

I have a lowerd z71 and it is NOT a 4x4.

My point exactly....

Got any pics of it to show the OP?

Lol the reason I was asking was because I bought my vehicle used with a price I couldn't pass up. With that said the off road stuff isn't my style but its cool. I would like to close those wheel gaps. Big knobby tires aren't really my thing but I'm always down to try something new.

I guess to counter your question why do people lift 2wd and throw off road stuff. Just the card they were dealt I guess work with what ya got.

Hey burb Thx for the help. I love that rear window handle delete.

Thanks, man

I've seen a few lowered Z71 Hoes (with 4wd) on this forum. You may hit up DaRosa. He was lowered not long ago but went back up again because of how he uses his rig he needed to but it looked awesome lowered so you may ask him to shoot ya some pics or see if he has them in an album.

Just checked his albums for you and didn't see any pics of his lowered in there but I know he's posted it up lowered in some threads in the past so just PM him (DaRosa218) and I'm sure he'll be happy to shoot ya some pics before he raised it back up again

Cool Thx. These forums are way more helpful than some of the 300c forums I've been on.

there ya go. Z71 lowerd (2/3 drop) on 24's

 

[Mattjr79]

I have a 03 4x4 not Z71 but i had it lowered for about 6 months i have a few pics in my album....it was a 2/3 belltech lowering kit with firestone helper bags in the rear coils and i had bilsteins all the way around...it rode good, but i didnt do any of the mods i should have to give it better travel, so it was pretty rough on bumpy roads and stuff like that

All the belltech stuff if for sale also

Sorry for the thread dig, but I can't send PM's...

What did you use to do the drop... how does it ride?

 

[Gzes]

Well im not here to rant but..... A Z71 4x4 is not ment to be low.... Hell my old ram was 2wd and was lofted and was the best. Could tow like a 4x4 and was badass. I miss it but yea some 2wd trucks are badass offroad

[NORCAL SS]

ive done many of the 2/3 kits main thing if you do the full 4 inch rear you will need to cut the bumpstop brackets off the frame

I've never drove a new Tahoe, but my ride definately improved noticably. New struts up front, and new springs and shocks in the rear replaced 80k mile parts. Here is my latest pic showing off my new 20's
