Been doing this for over 6 years now on the 07 up trucks (aug 2006 did the first one and customer still has the truck with no issues)
I have a machine shop I do stuff out of so you will need a machine shop to do this. You remove the spring assembly and you pull up the lower spring perch and you will actaully do 2 grooves. The top groove is the factory one. The middle one is put at .40 under the oem ring. Then the 3rd one is .620 from original snap ring groove.
I was at 34 3/4 from ground to fenderlip on 305 30 24s and belltech spindles on my 2011 escalade. Going .40 under the original groove I am now at 33 7/8-34 which was 3/4 of a inch drop. THe .62 should give you about 1 inch drop.
Now you guys can go lower than 1 inch but just a heads up after 1 inch ride suffers and will kill the stock shocks a lot faster. Also remember to cut the front bumpstops down when you do this mod.
I charge $15 dollars per strut to do this mod for one groove ($30 a set) If you want additional groove add $5
I can do grooves from 0-2 inches but if you want multiple grooves I have to have at least 1/4 inch between grooves.
