lowering my 04 tahoe

[White Oh 8]

I have seen on more than one account people using the stock torsion bar keys from an HD to lower the front of these older hoes. My question is how far of a drop will that be and how much will the rear need to sit level? The reason I'd like to do this with the keys is because I have roughly 10 sets of these keys laying around the shop and why not...right?

Should give you a 2" could go up to 3" but then your ride quality will really suffer. Then some 3"-4" coils will sit it level

no more than an inch and a half or it'll ride bad and your camber will be WAY off and will need to get a camber kit. Then you'll need 3" drop springs in the rear.

thank you guys. ok next is what are some recommended setups to go with?

 

[NathanJax]

how far do you want to go down?

 

[White Oh 8]

probably 3 inches

 

[NathanJax]

you could do spindles and keys up front, and then 5" springs in the rear. You'd probably want the DJM rear kit and probably have to cut the bump stops as well

what do I want to do if I only want 2 in the front? its an awd and my wife drives it most of the time I just want to lower it a little for her.

 

[NathanJax]

just spindles then. will ride 100% like stock and just need to swap spindles. Do the Belltech spindles.

and for the rear?
