Help

Hey I am new to this site and wondering how low can i go with the 26 inch rims without major modification to my wheel wells. If I got the 3/4 keys, What else would I need and how is the ride quality?:confused:

They'll ride fine with good shocks 2" drop should be fine with 26s but it all depends on the offset. I've done quite a few 2" key drops on trucks with 26s and they didn't rub.

I have a set of 26" velocity 705 with 305/30/26. What about the rear?

Rear can be dropped with 3" to 4" coils, I prefer the belltechs.

Hey Im a noob here. I just picked up my '02 Yukon on Monday. Love the forum so far, awesome info and ideas.

It's stock on 22's, what else would I need for the drop besides the keys or is that it? I'm wanting either a 3/4 or 2/3 drop.

Are the 2500 keys what Max is selling? How much do the DJM control arms run and how complex is the install? I like the stance on your Hoe and that height would be nice on my Esky.

I've just never installed any drop kits before. Am I going to get some bad camber issues with dropping 3'' with the arms and then another inch with the keys? What do you recommend for the rear? I have air ride so just springs with shock extenders?

Nice! I'd like to start with just the arms and keys to get a nice 4'' drop up front and then do springs to get to 4'' in the rear. I think that would be a good stance and go to bags later. I'm trying to link up with Max to check out his truck and get some help with a kit and the install.
