I'd like to 2/3 drop on my 2011 SLT. I have custom wheels on now, but will probably go back to my 22 GMC stocks (CK0375?)

I do tow. Usually heavy UHaul 4 wheel car transport, light weight VW on top (2500lbs or so). What kind of problems am I going to have. I don't see any air stuff in the back suspension, only the front shocks look like air shocks. I don't usually tow much more than 200-300 miles at a time to car shows, but there is a show coming up in Tuscson which is quite a distance

thanks in advance
I'm not against a 2/2 drop, keeping some rake in exchange for better towing. Did that on my Sierra and it was fine

easily do a 2/3, then add helper bags in the springs... you'll be fine

towing is no problem with my kits
this kit

then you add in airlift 60742 and can tow no issues.

For those of you with a 2/3 drop, hows the ride? I have 90K miles and it's not bad but I feel like it could be better at stock height. I do have 22's and 285/45/22's.

How about turn radius? I've heard some spindles cause you to lose a lot. I really like the stock turn radius, I can u turn on my street with square curbs nicely

I put the 2/3 kit in as well. Very happy with the ease of install and ride quality. However, I have yet to tow my boat with it. I have a 22' pontoon that I will get out of storage in a couple of months so will put air in the helper bags and post on towing capabilities then.

Is there a 1/2 kit? I have 4wd, like to go off the beaten path a lot and still keep some clearance when I go 24's.
