2023 Suspension Lowering

[Capt_Falcon1166]

New member and first time poster. I have a 2023 LT with 20s. Rides super smooth. But I prefer the lowered stance of the PPVs. I’m aware they have a different suspension system that makes them a little lower while still using 20s. I’m looking for suggestions on what you all think would work to get a lower stance, like the PPV. I’m also looking to switch to 18s. Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Pics of the truck, please. If we can't see it, it does not exist.

I cannot personally assist you with your issue, but other members of this Forum much more knowledgeable than me in this area will chime in.

What model truck do you have?

Welcome.

I like the 18's on my 21 LT Duramax, shod with Michelin LTX's. IMHO the 20's look a little better, but I have to live with very high sharp city curbs and the fatter 18's protect the rims. Five years, and there is only one minor scratch on one of my rims and I hit curbs all the time. The deep pot holes here in Boston never stop. (You should see some of my neighbors' German cars, fancy rims totally chewed up.) The handling with the 18's seems great, but I don't have others to compare them too. The tires on the stock 20" rims, however, are almost as fat and look well protected.

For clarification, it’s a 2023 Tahoe LT 4WD.

You could shorten the height sensor rods which will make the system think you are sitting higher than you actually are, which in turn will lower the truck.

Or you can install an aftermarket air management system and change the fittings on all four air struts to 1/4" PTC fittings and run 1/4" DOT air line like I did.

I modified a set of T1 platform air struts and installed them in the front of my '08 Burb.
