Wassup everyone, I got this ppv 2012 tahoe, but the front seem a bit lifted. Not sure if was just a cheapo strut placed on by the maintenance people before it be auctioned. I ordered some drop spindles but not sure if will really work with oem 17”. Anyways. I looked up on some Belltech and other brands of lowering suspension. I plan to drop only the front. I wanna drop about 4” or at least 3”, no more than that. I really would like to get some good brand quality quick struts, I hate have to take those struts apart. Is there any know brands of lowering quick struts? I only found leveling struts and only the front shocks lowering. But one Belltech description says it needs to use normal springs, how is that? Why not also shorter springs? Which is the difference between shorter springs but normal shocks or lowering shocks and normal springs? Or both lowering? I dont Get it. Please help!! I don’t know know much about suspension stuff. Got this tahoe that long time i wanted but iam not tall person. And even seat raised I still don’t like it. I wanna the front lowered. Also the rear seems normal ppv height, but driving i noticed how even the rear window at the gate lift looses some field of view when trying look further back using the center mirror. Looking forward I see a lot of the hood but less of the road lol. Specially wife hated it, i was planning to replace out 07 trailblazer with this tahoe. If I lower the front 4” or at least 3” it would be closer to the trailblazer in means of field of view and total height. And the plus is even more economic on gas lol, help, cuz last time I had to
Figured out on my own mostly when I had electric issues. Don’t know why but didn’t receive any help
