2/3 drop or 3/5 drop

[Skatejosh369]

I've been going back and forth for months, trying to decide if I want to do a lift, or drop the Tahoe. Already bought the stuff to lift it, but I've decided to lower it now, because I think it looks much nicer Haha.

I'm stuck between a 2/3 drop or a 3/5. I'll be running 22"s of some sort (hopefully a deal locally with sstb reps comes through), but currently on the factory 20"s. Wanting to do a ss Tahoe look, so removal of door trim (it's peeling anyways), roof rack removal, slp exhaust, and doing a esky / Denali rear bumper. I considered doing the ss Tahoe front bumper that is a replica style one, but I think I'm going to pass for now. Any advice would be great. This is my first suv "build", so it should be fun!

Now if I can get my wife to let me tinker with the esky!!

I think I'm a bigger fan of the 2/3. I've seen yours on ig. McGaughy's kit? Identical color of mine too. Looks good.

5305 bellteh springs in rear by far smoothest riding proven fir years. Also gives you option of going lower down the road. I'm doing a customers truck now this is the resr kit with 1 inch spacer doing front next week. His concern was ride quality on 26s and did the rear with belltech sp shocks and he has no issues how it rides

It's a ground force kit, I got lucky and found it on Craigslist for next to nothing. It was front and rear coils with some djm Shock extenders. Rode excellent

Tahoe have reverse rake? The escalade is beautiful man. Wish my wife would let me do hers like that.

Doing rear first then finishing up next week. I had 2 tahoes and 2 tbss to lower over wekeend I squeezed him in last minute so could only do rear

 

[Skatejosh369]

I figured that was the case. Looking over your site now. I have a 2008, no auto ride, 4wd Tahoe.

The 2/3-4 is a good kit I linked above

I'm also tinkering with the idea of dropping my Tahoe. For the 2/3 drop, will the tire tread wear unevenly? Also, I live in NorCal and drive to Lake Tahoe, is it a bad idea to drop it since I'll need to drive in the snow in the winters? Sorry for the thread jack.

Here's Mine! 07 LTZ
Just picked it up this past week! Lowered on 20's.
I'm not sure exactly what setup it is yet. 3/4 I think.

I'm actually not a fan of lowered trucks, but I couldn't pass up the deal.
I'd kinda like to go back to stock or maybe even lift it.
I have tools and the know-how... anyone wanna trade?!
