3/5 drop

[97yukon]

alright i ordered my new wheels today...black boss 338. I am currently riding 2/4.spindles front and drop leafs back.. is there anyway to go another inch without a flip kip or some serious changes. ill put springs in the front but im in the air about what i could do for the back. if a flip kit is the only answer...with riding five inches require me to notch the frame or will it be enough travel. help me out please.

u dont have 2 c-notch it but its gunna ride like shit
so its best to notch it and get some good shocks and u will be fine

you can ad a shackle to the rear or hangers. the drop leaf springs arnt the best in the world as too ride comfort as you probably notice

o yea i noticed lol. i have helper bags and i have written in tahoe without helper bags and it is a big improvement but not as nice as flip kit lol. as far as that filler neck on the passenger side...you think a 1" drop shackle will be mess with it

 

[AtomicHoe094]

I know it wont on a 4 door, not super sure on a 2door.

i checked today and i clear exactly an inch 1" 1/4 to the filler neck. very tempting..i may try it sunday and ill let you know if it works...i hear theres a way to pick that filler neck up..

[97yukon]

i appreciate the offer man..my buddy has some 1" drops shackles he threw a fit over cuz he thought they were 2" so hes itching to get rid of them lol. thanks anyways. by the way...limited wheels look pretty good powder coated man.

[97yukon]

haha well i ordered black boss 338 20s yesterday morning so hopefully ill be happy with the turnout. im very worried about how its going to look..ive never gone with black wheels lol.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

are they alll black, or do they have that chrome lip? should look pretty good.

 

[97yukon]

black with chrome lip and chrome center hub cover i went ahead and got chrome lugs to to try and make the spokes look a little more distinct

Flip is the way to go. It also gives you the option to go lower if you want to in the future. Even with a flip, its good to have helpers.

Here's the link for the fella who fixed the issue with the filler hose.
