You're going to want to run 285's at least to tuck in the rear and you still might have issues. The problem is the axle shifts to the passenger's side as it get's lower so you'll hit the tire when you lower it. You should also have the shop grind down the fender lips for you. I am having an adjustable pan hard fabbed up right now so I can get the axle back over to the driver's side and tuck both rear wheels. You might want to run 275/40's.

Did you get Mob's whole set up....4link and rear axle? If so never mind what I said, he had the rear axle shortened if I remember correctly and the 4 link will eliminate the panhard......

looking good so far!

265/30's will certainly be fine but also rubber bands....yikes, I hope you have nice streets where you live.

Basically the pan hard bar keeps the axle centered but on our trucks as the truck gets lower the pan hard bar kicks the axle to the passengers side, why....I have no idea bad design. At any rate in order to pull the axle back to the driver's side the pan hard bar need to be shorter. They do not sell an adjustable pan hard bar or a pan hard for lowered Tahoes/Yukons so I am having my buddy fab an adjustable pan hard up so wee can dial in the rear axle. This is very common on mustangs and hot rods but being that 6Klb SUV needing an adjustable pan hard is fairly uncommon they are not available. You could do the math and just make a shorter bar but with an adjustable you can really dial it in. I run 285/40/24's and I need 1/4'' in my passenger's side to tuck and get down all the way but I have like 3/4-1'' on the driver's side. Also, make sure they either roll the rear fender lip or just cut it off(mine are just cut and ground down) or you run the risk of cutting your wheels up......

 

[mikeyboy]

with the notch it should go about 3 inches lower but when im getting the notch im also going to get smaller tires im running 305 40s

i got a few questions for the bagged guys
now my service ride control light is on is ther a way to trick that off?
also the front rides reall nice but the back is bouncy as hell could it be that because my big tires i have to run with it jack up so is that making it bouncy because with the bounce it makes it handle bad also i dont exept it to handle like a sports car .

 

[Grocery Getter]

Nice. As for the bounce, it will actually get worse the lower you go. What kind of shocks do you have(I don't see any)? The less PSI you have in your bags the sloppier the ride will get...... good luck homie...smaller tires are a must if you want to tuck the rear and don't forget to roll/trim the fender lip.

 

[mikeyboy]

thankx and im not running any shock didnt no i should be what do u run this thing feels like your jumping on a pogo stick it hopes every were do u have a pic on your rear

 

[Grocery Getter]

Get some shocks homie.... I am just running my McGaughy's drop shocks but am thinking about going with some Billsteins. Here are some pics of my rig...

Before new wheels.....

As she is now:

 

[mikeyboy]

ok im going to go with shocks cuz i love the bags but it bounces like crazy almost dangrous crazy if driving heard .. btw your truck looks good i like the new rims there hot

Good call. It looks like you might need shorter end links on your sway bar as well, that could be causing a lot of sway for sure if you have the stock end links on. Was your truck lowered before the bags? If it wasn't lowered at least 5'' in the back you need a few things:
-shorter end links on your sway bar
-sway bar needs to move over about 2'' to the passenger's side to clear the pan hard bar. You just have to move the driver's side bracket over
an 1'' or so and get offset end links
-Trailing arm relocators. These will help with your pinion angle(I'm pretty sure that is what they do) but you need them for a 5''+ drop.

If you don't have any or some of those components that is certainly the cause of the sketchy ride. If you have those things then the shocks should hem it up. It also looks like dude left your bump stop brackets in with no bump stops, you should just cut the whole bracket off it will give you a lot more travel. It's like 30-45min work with a sawzall. They will have to come off when he notches it anyway.

I'll tell you what....looking at your undercarriage makes me soooooo glad I live in AZ. That is some rusty ass shit there........
