Shouldn't have stepped into this section...

yall have now made me want to drop my tahoe. I've always been the lift guy. I have an 05 I lifted a bit, but now that I have a 2010 I see it looking great lowered. Since I live in a snowy rough road state I don't think a big drop would be to good, so what drop for a noticeable difference should I get.(I'll have to wait till tax time unfortunately)

Would just rear the 2" springs do it justice?
Or would the 2/3-4 be OK for the bumpy roads

Here's how it sits now. The wheels are 275/55/20

I would go the 2/3-4 drop to level it out

X3 and you may change your mind about the mud flaps once you do. depends on your version of form/function or function/form.

 

[Drok]

OK. The mud flaps came on it they look huge since I took off the steps haha. I'll probably get different ones or move them further up, I need them here for the dirty and salty roads we have 3 seasons a year..

Couple more qs

I know lifts and how it effects the front ends but what about when the front gets dropped 2" how does it effect the front end parts etc?

The tires I have now just rub a bit only under sharp turn in reverse, will it make them rub worse with the drop?

Hows this kit? Gtg?

My drop was originally a 2" up front and 3" in back which leveled it nicely however I ended up putting 1" spacer in back for bit more clearance and practicality. Rides wonderful on the 24"'s and no rubbing. I have weathertec mud flaps and only had to cut small amount off inside of them so wouldn't rub. If I took them off, no rubbing at all but I like Having the flaps up north even though I store it in the winter.

Alright im about ready to choose if i want a level lift or drop.. just a couple more Qs.

Anyone live in a bumpy/snowy state like i do that has had the 2-3 drop on for a while and drives all year round with it have any issues??

And on the bell kit do i really need the 2 options? djm endlink / bumpstops.

What tire and wheel combo do you have? Does it rub?

Great to know, thanks. I guess then i shall be dropping the hoe

Just wanted to say I'm in the same boat trying to decide which route I want to go with drop. Already made my decision on the JDM Sway bars.

On another note, if you do buy, definitely buy from NORCAL SS. Great guy who is deep in the community and has been answering all my retarded suspension questions while I fight to make a decision.

I did have a few questions while we were on this topic of drop:

1) If you tow things with your car, does the drop cause any limitations?

2) Originally was looking at a very moderate drop (2" in rear only due to steep driveways and speed bumps. I'm sure a drop in front/back will make handle slightly better but how is the comfort of your rides? Harsher ride is normally the trade off for better handle.

 

[Drok]

Gone and dun ordered the 2/3-4 kit cant wait to get it put on, thanks for the help norcal ss

 

[08grey]

Sway bars definitely round it out well. I got my eibach bars from a member here used and they make a noticeable difference.

Just curious, why do you suggest not replacing the front springs? I understand not using a drop spring and drop spindle instead up front. I just bought a 2007 Yukon Denali with 149k miles. It needs suspension all the way around and I was gonna get the 2/3-4 Lowering/Cornering Package from Tony... I want to replace shocks and springs to give me the best possible ride. Suggestions in addition to his package? Thanks!

Got the 2/4 on finally haha. Still need to do the free travel mod. Little rough over the bigger bumps when it hits the bumpstop but rides good otherwise.
