here you go

this way you start frest and front is adjustable from 0-2 inches in rear 3-4 inches. Only thing on the 26s i would do 1.5 in front and rear kit as the above kit shows and add another set of 1 inch spacers which would add $40 dollars. Also with the above kit you start with new shocks all around and a nice ride.

any other questions just hollar ive done a few already


tire size to go with is 295 30 26

I have a 2/4 drop set up from tony. Top notch stuff and best customer service i've ever seen. You can't go wrong with what he recommends.

Does everything bolt right up or is there rubbing?

 

[NORCAL SS]

Bolts up and rubbing isi fixed by trimming plastic in wells no biggie

 

[Zlub21]

Thanks for the response NORCAL SS, do you reccomended only using a 26x9 or will a 26x9.5 or 26x10 work?

 

[NORCAL SS]

26x9.5 with 35mm offset would be good.

*pointless, nonhelpul post*

i just did a 2/3 on 26's and i love it.

I have 2" front lowering spindles, Belltech struts with another 1" drop and 4" lowering springs in the rear. I run KMC slides 26x10 with 295/25/26 with no rub at all. I will probably go to a 295/30/26 next time.

Just finished dropping my Escalade on 26's...26x10 Forgiato's ~30 offset (custom 3 pc, dont release offset) with 305/30/26 with Belltech 2/3-4 kit for autoride. Here is the stance on mine with the rear spacers in (about a 3.5" drop I think)

No rear rubbing but some good front rubbing that I havent gotten completely rid of yet. You are limited with modding the liners in the front due to the windshield wiper resevoir and the mounts on the back side closest to the door.

As a side note, IDK about your girl but I would NEVER put 26s w/ 30 series tire on any women driven vehicle, the rims will be square in no time! Just my .02

How smooth is the ride lowered on 26's? Can you still tow with this setup or no? Not super heavy towing but a single axle trailer.

 

[NORCAL SS]

it rides nice honeslty. Also if you tow you can add helper bags in rear.

 

[Jagger12]

I tow a 21ft boat 3 times a week with mine. I do have helper bags in the rear.

I actually just installed 24s, was Gunna do 26s but its for the wife and I felt better with 24s, also I'm Gunna lower it still

Good choice! A little more meat on the tires and less chance of rubbing after the drop

 

[Blazed]

Less chance to bend rims as well.

 

[Zlub21]

what kind of mpg's are people seeing being lowered on 26's? or even on 24's?

 

[Blazed]

Lowering doesn't really affect mileage and you can't really judge how much your MPGs will change because of rim size because everyone drives so differently.

 

[Zlub21]

Well lowering it should reduce the drag am I wrong? And I was asking what people were getting for personal numbers just so I can get a rough idea.
