how do you think the belltech 3/4 drop kit with nitro drop shocks will look on my 2000 tahoe limited OBS?

thinking about getting this kit...and eventually the same wheels i have on now but in 22's. If i lower it will i need smaller tires so they dont rub on anything? Right now they rub a lil on full lock

i have a 3.5/4 drop on my hoe on 18s also. Im running 255/50/r18s. I like it but what people dont tell you is that you have to relocate the rear break junction block on the rear axle. Maybe it was just mine but it was hitting my driver side tail pipe

i just dumped my muffler a little bit before the rear axle so i shouldnt have that problem. I think i will get it. i just wanna fill in the gaps a lil more. Would it be okay to leave the same wheel/tire setup or will i need a new setup there also? im just worried about it rubbing when i turn

when i droped on my old tires. 285/60/18 toyos i hit the fender on every little bump. So i rolled my fenders and they still hit. You till need a skinnyer tire for sure. Or a new offset

You just need to remove the inner fenders. And roll the fender lips. If they still hit the fender. Then you have the wrong offset rim for that type of drop.

^^^More of how it sits now :D Is that static? If so damn, it must be hard to drive that thing LOL I used to scrape my frame on my ECSB OBS truck when it was dropped 5-7 and I'm pretty sure that your lower than 5-7

Hey man. I live in San Jose...and I am looking for info on a drop on a 99 Tahoe LS 4 Door w/ tow package if that makes a difference. I do not want to cut any frame or weld anything on.. I prefer straight part swaps/ bolt ons.

I want to to sit level and a bit lower. but not scraping on speed bumps lower. For now I will probably only run the stock 15" wheels and tires.... but may in the future do some 17s. I would like to improve the handling (for what improvements can be made on a SUV)... but still keep it family friendly.

What do you recommend along with pricing and install rate. thanks.

This would be nice.

before anything can you do me a favor and measure the truck from ground to fenderlip all around?? Tell me that and I can dial the kit right in for you.
