So I decided to install my rear springs today. Very easy install. I also left the 1" spacer as well as a 1/4"-1/5 stock bottom rubber mount. So probably isn't a full 3" drop yet. So once I do the fronts I will take out the spacer and rubber mount. Looks ok. Def takes away that huge stock gab. has a little bit of a cali lean on it. So I should hopefully be doing the fronts shortly. Any some pics of it

Yeah I remember that. These are the same wheels I had on my 07 Tahoe.

I still have the bump stops in. So far feels fine. But I also still have the spacer in. I am going to see how the front sits after I install that. Plus I will see how the springs settle in the rear. I can tell you this kit is quality. The ride is night and day compared to the lowered Tahoe with groundforce springs in the back. But also I think the escalade air ride helps as well

Yup, I'm taking off my spacers tomorrow and I'm apprehensive that my ride will go from almost stock (at 36" in the back) to crap (at 35") ... from what Tony says 35.5 seems to be the threshold.

what is the offset of your wheels like 15? look like they stick out a lot. Be careful ive had more than a few cutomers warp there 1/4 panels on 26s when truck came down and hit tire since offset stuck out way to much

btw how low are you going in the front spindles?

I can't remember off the top of my head the offset. They actually don't stick out in the back at all. Fronts stick out like 1/4 if that. Front going with the 2" drop beltech spindles I also had these rims on my 07 Tahoe with 2/3 kit
