First off, hello everyone! I've been a member for a while now but haven't posted anything. Thanks to everyone for all of the awesome information and posts on this forum.

Ok, so I have a 2013 Suburban LT with the factory Silverado wheels and I want to lower it. It is my daily driver and I want it to still look clean, but I want to add a little aggression to the clean-ness. My options are to go with just a 2" drop on the rear and keep the front height stock or to lower it all the way around with a 2/4 kit. Does anyone have any thoughts, or hopefully some pictures of the NBS suburbans lowered with a semi-stock appearance to the rest?

Thanks in advance!

Lowering just the back 2 inches is horrible idea.

Looks like its sagging most of the time.

Been there done that.

Contact Tony (NorcalSS). Do a 2/4 drop. It will ride nice and look amazing.

Its true.

2/4 looking all saggy...... especially on 20s

Honestly 24s can almost pull a 2/4 off......


Its a visual thing.

Also the front fenders stick out further than the back...... the back needs to look very slightly higher...... or it looks sagging even when level

Let's face it...20's are too small from stock height on down so that's out of the way. Need to go 22's or higher depending on what you're looking for. But, there's nothing "saggy" about an 0/2 to 4/6 drop other than maybe the angle of a pic. It's absolutely level :waytogo:

I guess it's just a matter of opinion. Rake looks bad IMO and I can't stand the back being higher than the front. Needs to be perfectly level but different opinions is what makes the world go round. :Good or Bad:

So to keep the 20" stock wheels anything I do will look unfinished? I still want to look clean but not overdone. By the way, I intend to also install airlift helper bags on the rear for towing.
