Hello! Just joined the forum as I acquired a 2016 Tahoe LT this past weekend and already have questions ;) Named "Tex":

While Tex has a practical use a family hauler, my build goal is to make it into a lowered sports truck (of sorts). It's never going to be the fast "canyon carver" that my prior modified G8 GT was but I think it has potential for some fun :)

Welcome. What are your plans for lowering?

Thank you, probably 2-3 inch drop in the front, 3.5-4 in the back. Still trying to figure out if I can go with lowering control arms ($$$) or just do lowering springs. I like the idea of drop spindles but don't like that they are cast iron...kind of a downgrade from factory aluminum.
