07 Tahoe - 2/3 Mcgaughy Kit

[hicnollis]

I am newbie here and recently purchased a mcgaughys 2/3 spindle kit for my 07 hoe. After reading some posts, it seems i might want to go a bit lower. I am riding on 24's with a 305 series tire.

Any suggestions before installing the kit? i heard of leaving out the isolators or something to add another 1/2" drop or so.

Thanks,

Nick

Welcome
The rear you can leave out the isolators and that will give you .5" more. The front you will need to cut your stock springs, buy new springs or buy Belltech adjustable struts. I would go with the adjustable struts. Then you can adjust them to the height you want and they ride better than the stock ones. They are not real expensive (around $100 each).

Thanks for the info. i will leave the isolators out and go for the belltech adjustable shocks later. Prob wont be cutting the coils unless you know of others that have done it without any issues. and how much do i cut?

Thx,
Nick

I have same set up and am pretty happy with it. It rubs when doing u-turns or some other sharp turns, but other than that its cool. Are you going for the slammed look? 2/3 gets rid of the wheel gap, but isn't too noticable.

i wouldnt recomend cutting the coils. it makes a big difrence in this type of truck. better get drop coils or struts.

belltech adjustable struts all the way. My customers are very happy with them.

thanks guys. ive heard good things about the belltech struts and will prob go that route. i pick the truck up this afternoon.

i am not going for the slammed look, but trying to get the gap out and avoid a nosedive everytime i hit the brakes. Ill post some pics.

Thanks again.
