I want a drop....

[oakland0830]

I don’t really post a lot on the site but I am always on here and like to read and look at all the things done to everyone’s truck. Anyway like the title says, I washed my truck today and was thinking about how much I really need a drop. I like the way the 2/3 drop looks on the trucks, I have a 08 Denali w/ auto ride and wanted to know what drop kit I would need. I don’t really want to do the work myself and was wondering if anyone in Arizona can suggest a shop that I can call and go to. But if I can’t find a shop, I was wondering how hard is it to install a drop kit myself? Thanks for the help…

I will be painting my calipers blue this weekend to match the blue interior LEDS i got from HIDGUY.net

Plus everyone i've seen has red calipers so ill be a little different....

LOL @ 4 posts and no one answering his questions ......... sheesh.


I would suggest finding a private shop that does nothing but suspension work to do the install. They're normally going to be the most affordable if suspension is their thing.

From what I've read on the site; it doesn't take long for install if you know what you're doing .......... I wouldn't have a clue and will also need to find an install shop.

Thanks for all the comments... Yes the headlights and fogs are smoked and the tails and 3rd brake light are painted black.... I wish i would have got the Yellow on the headlights painted because they are not even used....will get it done sooner or later....thanks for teh comments again....

Sorry never answered the question. Crazycrew just installed a 2/3 drop on his '11 Tahoe LT and he did it himself with someone to help in less than two hours in his driveway. I personally haven't done it but that should give you a good estimate of how long it would take.

truck looks killer i sent yah a pm.


back literally takes at most 45 minutes

front spindles about 1.5 hours. I can walk you thru rear install and it keeps all the autoride working also.

We did the 3/5 on my wife's Tahoe with autorode in the driveway. It's a pretty easy install.

We did the dim kit with Tbss coils in the back and new arms in the front. It rides as close to stock as you could expect from a dropped hoe. It's nice since it uses all stock shocks and springs in front and stock shocks in back.

I'd highly recommend the kit and it shouldn't be too hard to find a shop that does drops in your area.

There are pics if her Tahoe in the "upgrades" thread.

Norcal ss is who we bought through and he was a good dude. Didn't have to call for support but he was very helpful and available throughout the sale.

I text tony in the middle of my install and he called me a minute later and answered my question. Hour later.........return text to ensure problem resolved. AWESOME

Im painting my calipers right now.... Can't wait till im all done... Painting the rear ones right now...Anyway back to the drop, i would like to get the 3/5 drop but im afraid that my wheels would rub... Im running 305/35/24 at the moment... Im looking to drop the end of april begining of may...Thanks for the help, will post pictures when im done...

on 305 35 24 and 3/5 drop its going to rub thats why i was saying 2/3-4 adjustable

ive done it myself. I have 69k on my truck. Biggest problem was the Front. I had a hard time removing the rotors due to rust. I live in New England. I ended up Leaving the rotors on and removed them with the Hubs. Trimming the upper Ball joint stud is needed for 4x4 and also the lower bj stud if your planning on using anything smaller than a 20' rim. Lastly, alignment is needed because tie rod arms have to come off

That's what we run with our 3/5 and even spaced up in the front it rubs. Removing the fender liner would do the trick but that looks like shit IMHO.

The rear takes a little trimming but it clears fine.

Just FYI for anyone that searches this in the future haha

Not hard to do my man. I installed mine in the driveway in about 2.5 hrs. I did have my dad over to help, but all he did was fetch tools and operate the jack from time to time

Do the 2/3-4, you'll be happy. It rides great too. I'll upload the video I did of the rear and you can see how easy it is. I'll get you a link this weekend
