Cali Lean is not that bad as long as it is not more than 2"
I had Cali lean on my Tahoe for two months back in early 2010.

Hey to each their own-personally I think it looks like crap but I'm from the Midwest so what do i know ;)

On a brighter note I see he changed his info to reflect his correct age :D

Mine had it a little bit till my drop settled out. Also if I park in reverse without pulling forward a few inches it has a little lean.

ALRIGHT
So I noticed in the original post you are debating 24 or 26 and Im here to clear that up for you..
Tahoe comes with 20" way too tiny so I think 22" thatll do 'er. NOPE
I think ok a little bigger 24" NOPE
Now I want 26" Im sure Modded would agree.

Also if you havent seen a Tahoe or Yukon in person with a 2/4 drop you really couldnt notice but with a 2/4 the tahoe/yuk rear window does not share the same angle as the rest and makes the car appear to have cali lean when in reality it is level take note my signature looks like it leans to the rear.
Also once you go three inches in the rear free travel mod is a must and I will be doing it soon as well.

EDIT: Pictured in my signature my car has 2/4

free travel mod is not needed for 3" drop

Depends where you are driving bud.
I have three inch drop and I bottom out every now and then.
I recommend it and will be doing it as soon as it cools down around here

Count me in as anti-cali-lean. It makes the truck look like you have something really heavy in the rear, or that your rear shocks are trashed, or that you've put a lighter engine in the front. I don't see why someone would create this look on purpose.

If you get these trucks perfectly level, the lines of the truck will make it look like it's leaning already. If you drop the rear more than the front, it'll REALLY look like it's sagging.

I can appreciate a lot of different looks for these trucks. The cali-lean look isn't one of them, though. I just don't get it.

I had a cencal Buick back in the day, it rode like shit but that could be that the rear suspension was junk, it was also missing the paint on the roof.

Actually many of the farmers have A/C nowadays but we are getting off topic and I am nothing if not on topic at all times.
