My wife got her wheels on and lowered. I have to give a shout out to Tony - he is awesome to deal with. He helped me through every step to figure out what I needed, and even returned a late afternoon call when we had issues and he was DEAD on with what the issue was, with my only teling him what issue I had.

Belltech front drop struts at lowest setting - 2in
Belltech rear springs set for 3in drop
Belltech rear shocks
DJM Endlinks

Autoride has been removed, resistors on the way. Truck rides great and shocks were shot and needed to be replaced anyways. I'm tempted to go lower, but I'l have to wait a while - I've been eyeing a turbo kit and I may have to just break down and get it. :hmm:


Wheels are 2Crave No16 Black Diamonds w/ 305/45/22 Nittos
Inserts plastidipped pink
emblems plastidipped pink
roof rack plastidipped black
side grill plastidipped black

I need to get a front pic since she just got the E&G Factory style tow hook covers as well. She'll probably be mad since the truck is dirty - we live on a dirt road and the pollen has already been insane.

I can't say the pink was my first choice, but it looks a lot better in person than I thought. I figure a turbo kit and nearly 600 rwhp will make it ok for me to drive even with pink all over it, lol!

i would get the belltech camber kit along with the new design 07 up spindles. then drop the front just a tad more then pull that spacer out in rear and it will look nice.

due to weight in the rear the longer models get about 1/2 inch more drop. What size tire is on the truck and what does it measure from ground to fenderlip in rear 34.25 to 34.5?


this truck 34 5/8 with 305 45 22 but short wheel base model

also in front did you use no spacers at all? or 1 10mm?

Ah good call. I may have to do that - it seems like it sits a hair higher in the front than rear. I'll measure it when she gets home.

It's on 305/45/22s.

The front has no spacers in it. I assume if I get the belltech spindles I'd then want to run some of the spacers so it isn't a full 4in drop right?

Bought my wife a pink remote. Since our entire family seems to share cars I could never go so far as to have pink accents on the Suburban. Remote will have to do.

Still think is looks great and a one of a kink look for your wife.

LOL I know what you mean. She has the pink remote cover as well. For some reason, I mind the wheels less than the remote. I'll mind it all less once I get long tubes installed, lol. Having a big heavy truck that runs nearly 100 in the quarter makes me feel better, lol. Keeps the ricers at bay as well. :)
