in rear i have the set up for 360 shipped with is springs/bumpstops/extenders/endlinks and free travel mod is required

Ha, I was just looking at that exact kit on your site. I'm planning on doing the drop in a few weeks, I'm waiting for $8,500 worth of hail damage to get fixed, its been at the shop for a week now. I would be interested in shocks too.

So it doesn't need axle relocators at 4", but at 5" it does?

I did a 5/7 drop on my single cab nbs Silverado, so I'm thinking I can handle this too.

Just tell her it's preventative maintenence

I'm working up to the "well, if I have to replace *** anyway, might as well upgrade" but when I drove my Silverado 140k+ and didn't have to do suspension work, she might get suspicious...she isn't your average lady. She kinda knows enough to try and call me on the BS lol

Heh, used that to buy wheels/tires over the weekend. I'm really liking the @NORCAL SS handling package. That would be ideal for me, but dropping a couple of mortgage payments in the span of 2 weeks on car parts will probably have me sleeping on the couch. LOL!

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.

Haha you said snow in cali.. all joking aside ive got the 2/3-4 kit in my trunk waiting ro be put on my DD ill report back next winter when we get a few feet of it ;)

I doubt youll have any issues we have cars that are lower then that make it around fine..

No problem. If you’re gonna go 4/6 I’d suggest 295/30/24s. 2/4 would be okay with 305s. Maybe slight rub here or there. 3/5 will have a little more depending on the wheel offset

2/3 will look good and handle great with no rubbing. But imop I'd do a 3/4. I did a 2/3 a few months ago and I'm already itching to go lower. Only reason I don't is cuz it's my wife's DD and she already complains about the ride height now. But it's up to you brotha.
