Is there a kit that allows only a slight REAR drop?

[KMeloney]

Not interested in lowering the whole truck, but would prefer the rear to be a hair lower.

Does such a kit exist?

Thanks!

Do you have the load leveling system and how much is a little?

You could try one of the kits that drops the back 2" but it might look like it is squatting too much in the rear.

Eibach Rear only kit and the McGaughys rear only kit.....each is worth 2" which means close to level!

 

[KMeloney]

So there are rear-only kits? That's good to know. Where exactly do the ride heights come from -- springs (with fixed heights), or something else?

"A hair" is probably just an inch or so...

Nna -- when you say "close to level," do you mean the 2" kits drop the rear PAST level, or not quite level? Some rake would still be ok. Squatting in the rear would look like crap.

Thanks!

Ride height comes from the shorter springs.

Get the rear 2" drop springs, and then adjust your torsion bars to match. May need to drop the front just a hair to get it to sit level.

No torsion bars on NNBS. Haven't seen any rears lowered, just fronts raised. Are you chaninging tire size or staying stock?

Yeah its not quite so level with a bit of rake.....the front of a regular susp. Tahoe is about 3.25" lower than the rear. With a full tank you'll be about level lol!

If you have the auto leveling suspension, you need to change the rods to the sensors or bend them depending upon the kit.

I did the Eibach kit last Saturday. The rears are super easy to do, you just need to be careful not to stress the ABS sensors. The fronts are a bit more involved b/c the spring is part of the shock but they are still not that hard to change.

The Eibach kit consists of just new springs, sensor rods, and bump stops for the front.

There are other kits, I can just comment on the one I used.

If you lowered it and didn't like the way it looks, you can easily swap it back to stock.

Thanks for the replies, folks!

One of the great things about our Pedders coils that re different than others is the amount of actual usable coils. This gives longer life, more control. and better ride quality.
