'09 LTZ 5.3L Gain

Good choice... that is what I did too, before the 4/6 drop kit.

I just recently sold the Arnotts after having them on the truck for less than a year.

When I did the drop I didn't want to loose the auto leveling so I did some research and found some Monroe air shocks that were the same length as the Belltech street performance drop shocks that came with the kit and installed them instead. Shortened the auto leveling links and now the truck still levels out with kids, luggage, a trailer..... I like it.

I was actually thinking about a drop at some point, I think these big b*tches look awesome dropped. I'm not sure about dropping a 4-wheel drive though. Only time I even use Auto or 4 high is in the winter, once or twice a year, going up to the mountains when the roads are snow packed. If having 4-wheel drive isn't an issue with the drop maybe I'll just do that. I'd like to start building this thing out to 500-600hp too.

How is your ride quality after the drop? You mind linking the kit and shocks you used? If I'm going to replace the suspension here soon I might as well do the drop so I don't have to waste money. I just showed my wife your Suburban pic and a few from google search and she loved it, so its a go lol.

The kit on the Burb is Tony's 4/5-6 kit plus the adjustable panhard bar.

I bought it used here on the forum.

It rides good.... can't really tell any difference from stock unless you hit a good size dip.

If you want to keep the auto leveling rear then you will want to get a set of Monroe MA704 air shocks or equivalent.

Here is a link to my build thread if you haven't seen it already in case you are interested.

Damn thanks! I just found some of Tony's posts about his kits. They really seem like the way to go. I was reading somewhere on them that with the rear shock extenders you can retain the stock autohide shock height. My current airbags are blown so I need new shocks anyhow and was going to go with the Arnott's. Ah, that's on the 3/4 drop. Not sure how low I want to go yet. Guess I'll have to do some research and see what I like best. The 5/6 kit would be awesome to completely refresh the suspension system thats for sure.

I haven't seen your build thread yet. I'll definitely check it out.

Been reading the build thread for the last 40 minutes. Very impressive to say the least. My wife isn't going to like the idea that I read it and got so many ideas though lol.

@kbuskill I noticed there a quit a few of broken picture links in the first few pages of your mod thread. Especially of the new head unit.
