Official 00-06 Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade drop guide with pics...

I would just be cautious of the spindles. I've known a couple people buy ebay ones and have a hell of a time getting back into alignment. I've also heard the opposite too, but if it were me I'd always go with mcgaughys or belltech for spindles at the least.

That seems to be a really good price, with spindles too.

That's what I was thinking. Just curious about the quality and drop

Is this kit worth it. And is it compatible with autoride? I am also planning on going to regular shocks

Right now I'm running 22s with 285/45s and looking for a 2/3 drop

You are going to want to do a 3/5, believe me.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/MCGAUGHYS-...ash=item4412e67652:g:OGYAAOSwetRZluZo&vxp=mtr

Idk man I'm not looking for anything crazy. Just a slight drop. More importantly I want to use the drop to give me a reason to replace and revamp a lot of stuff, preemptive stuff. Hubs, sway bars and bushings, endlinks tie rods all that fun stuff all at once and be done. Is like to clean up all the rust under there as well and apply some paint/undercoating

One thing I don't remember seeing mentioned in this thread. When I lowered my Tahoe last summer (see post #162), my truck developed a transmission fluid leak at slip yoke. The lowering process forces the slip yoke deeper onto the tailshaft (driveshaft moves forward).
If you live in the rust belt, you may need to clean the crust off the slip yoke. The picture shows the differences in where the seal rides before and after. Fortunately, I was able to clean mine and stop the leak with a new seal.

Normal SS question I have a 2002 Yukon Denali and I want to lower it 3 up front and 5 in the rear shocks included. Can you give me a setup to use and any shock preferences

Man everyone has them here. I’ll be putting 24s on this summer anyways and hopefully new paint.

Did you sell the Texas wheels or still have them?
