Has anyone used a 2” rear lowering spring on there truck? Based on my measurements the front will be a 1/2 an inch higher which hopefully I can get with the stock keys or get an aftermarket set, has anyone else done this?

I am doing it next week on my 05 Denali. My rear fenders sit exactly 2" higher than the front. I ordered the Eibach 2" rear springs and there is plenty of room to adjust the front with the stock keys 1" - 2" to your liking. On my 03 Denali I went with a 2/3 kit with shocks and was very VERY unhappy with the harsh ride it gave. It was so choppy and bouncy in the rear, even after cutting the rear bump stops off completely. I'm hoping the Eibach springs and retaining my factory Air shocks will keep the smooth ride on this truck.

Any link to these springs?

You still gonna swap in the bilstein 4600's?

If I just do the 2” rear drop that’s the plan, I’m kicking around doing a 2/3 Belltech kit with spindles up front that comes with Belltech shocks

I'm in the same boat as you.

I’m most likely just going to do the 2” rear spring & shocks for now so it rides better then maybe go lower down the road

What brand and model were those 3" springs and shocks?
