lowering question

[mikeyboy]

i bought my tahoe from a guy who didnt no much about it when u bought it it came with 26' rims so i wanted to go lower so i sold them and got 305/40/22 .when i bought the truck the guy said it was lowerd but didnt no how much i want to no how much is in it because with the new tires i want to go lower also as i did my wheel baring last night i noticed that the rear sits on the bump stops so i dont no how i should go lower if i can it never bottoms out and it rides good .. so my questions are ..
what drop do you think is in it ?
how can i go lower?

Most likely if its was lowered when you gt it on 26s then it would be a 2/3 drop. You could go as low as 5/5 with 2" spindles and 3" torsion cranking up front and 5" coils out back.
The bumpstops probably weren't cut to the proper height to match the 2/3 drop and thats probably why it sits on the bumpstops.

Do the free travel mod and you should be able to drop it a good 5" or so out back even with the wide tires. I'd get some spindles for the front and it would sit nice, probably a 4/5 drop for the best ride quality.

Instead of posting this like you did in response to someone's previous question on a seperate thread:

duuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh

I will answer your question.

It looks like you have a 2/4 drop. I would check the keys to see if they are aftermarket, and check the rear coils to see if they are stock. Go from there.

yea what they said, its about a 2/4, and yea cut those bump-stops and brackets off, change the coils and see if you can get the t-keys to crank lower...but the truck looks pretty clean! also might want to consider some drop shocks of they arent already on there (or shock extenders for less $)

26's in NYC...... Oh no sir. I spent yesterday driving around Manhattan in a rental car and all I could think of was how quick my Tahoe would be toast. Mad props to boys on big rims in NYC, u must be ballin just to keep up on the repairs. I did see an Esky on 24's while on the LES that had my rims. That makes 2 ppl Ive seen with them since I got them almost 2 yrs ago....
