Show off your 2015-2020 lowered tahoes and yukons

2015, Belltech 2/4, 24's

Belltech 2/4 on 19’ LT no auto ride. I hope the front end will settle a little more because the spacer is already installed on the coils.

 

[STORMIN08]

PEOPLES...you ride looks killer, huge fan as my wifes is almost a clone. she would rather lift it, but i would prefer the lower route...

if the front doesnt settle, i would recommend a 3" rear coil. or possibly a 1/2" spacer for the rear coil...just fine tune to your liking

I tricked the wife into getting some struts for the front . Planning on lowering the front an inch.

Hahaha sounds like me and my wife.
Magride failed on her 16 xl denali. Went with bilstein 5100 fronts and arnott rears. Convinced her it needed a belltech 2/4 kit.
Think I need to adjust the rear autolevel links because it still looks abit on the high side. But we'll see how it settles on the coming weeks.

Hi guys, I’m the original owner of this 2015 Yukon xl. Has 85k miles now and wanted to update the look so I did a Belltech 1019 2/4 drop w 295/35/24s. My truck had factory 20s prior and I was in need of tires and brakes so thought it was a great time to change it up. I like the look but not the ride quality. It feels smooth on Highways but driving around town in NY it’s so noisy and sounds awful. I feel like the shop that installed kit didn’t install it correctly or something not right. I brought it back and they said my front shocks and springs are probably worn after they talked to a Belltech rep. My truck drove silent and super smooth before the spindle drop and 24s. The noise is definitely coming from up front. I hear a clunky clutter noise at low speeds going over normal roads with small bumps and cracks in road. It just doesn’t seem right. Not sure if I should just get new shocks on 4 corners and see if that solves the problem. I feel like if you guys have lowered these and ride quality became terrible nobody would be happy and continue to do this. Hopefully I can get to the source of the problem and get back to enjoying the truck. Any suggestions on what it may be? What’s best riding shock to get on these trucks? Thanks

Looks great. What size are the wheels? Do you have the mag ride/auto ride?

 

[STORMIN08]

at 85K on crap roads,,,i would look into new struts and rear shocks. i just lowered a 2018 tahoe with 55k miles, and i could compress the rear shock easily with 1 finger.

the spindle up front should not be the issue, that is a cast hard part. possibly starting to hear play in the hub bearing as well.

for the rear, at 4" was the free travel mod performed or at the very least, a shortening of the bump stop ??? look into that, as it can cause a harsh ride and noise if loaded down.

for overall ride, the 22 really hurt that, a 20 makes a huge difference in side wall height

thanks for the reply. I will probably put new struts and rear shocks and see if that helps. Do you guys recommend the belltech sp? I want to keep ride as comfortable as possible. It doesn’t ride bad now just the knocking or cluttering noise at low speed is driving me crazy. It’s like there’s play in it somewhere. Yes I know the 20s were a lot more forgiving and the 24s will change ride quality but it isn’t that bad once I can get rid of this noisy front end. I didn’t do rear travel mod. I don’t tow with it and drive an easy 6 mile commute to work. Unfortunately that’s when I hear this noise. On highway I don’t hear it and it feels pretty smooth.

+1 what @STORMIN08 said...

Failing that.... I had a Lincoln Navigator with the same symptoms. Rode quiet on the highway, smooth roads, etc... Rattled like a MoFo on bumpy roads, when going over speed bumps/humps, etc.... Turned out to be a broken swaybar end-link. Just something else to consider.

thanks! I have an appointment for Friday to take it to a well known reputable shop to look it all over for me and get it aligned. I let the wheel/tire shop do the suspension and he avoids my calls and is always “busy” so better to cut my loss and move on. I don’t have time to deal with shops that give you no after sale support.

Finally got around to taking a few shots of the Esky. Here it is guys, just had her paint corrected and ceramic coated lowered with 2/4 belltech lowering kit ( need to lower the rear about a half inch) 26” forgiato ECL wheels, blacked out all the chrome. Also have the corsa full exhaust with afe CAI. Future mods are a tune by (HP or Black Bear) some sway bars and wilwood big brake kit.

Can you post some more specs on your wheels?
Wheels width's front and rear?
Looks like you've got a lot more concave in the rear.
Are you using the same length lug nuts front and rear? They're more recessed on the fronts by far.

Looks really clean.

PSA: Thank you for not putting black wheels on your black escalade.

Thank you CMoore711 the wheels really set it up nice and I definitely didn’t want black wheels. They are 26x10 concave staggered don’t remember the offset but I can check later in tonight. The rear lip is 5” and the front is 3”. The lug nuts are all the same size but since the rear are more concaved you can see them stick out more.
