2" drop front and rear

[L8RH8R]

I recently did a 2" drop all the way around my 99 4dr. I used Crown 2" spindles up front a some 2" shackles in back that i got from Pepboys. After the install, the hoe looks great but rides like shat. The rear feels as though it bottoms out on any decent sized bump/dip in the road. I checked and the bump stops don't seem to be hitting the axle and the shocks "appear" have decent travel. Any ideas? If it is in fact the shocks, does anyone have any ideas which ones are good to use. I did this same drop on my 93 silverado years ago and did not have this problem. Thanks as always.

I'm have the same feel on my Tahoe with a 2in drop on the rear. Would like to know myself as well.

Well lowered SUVs are never going to feel smooth as stock. They will be a little rough. What I usually do is cut the bump stop a little bit then try it out and see how it rides. If u still feel it riding the same then go and look up the beltech drop shocks they r great on mine and I lowered mine 3 in front and 4 in back. I got an 03' so I got springs,not leaf springs. Hope this helps a little bit.

I'll give that a try. Thanks for the input.

Well I cut about one inch off the bump stops and that seems to have helped. I hit the same stretch of road that was causing the problem and the ride was better. I'll monitor it, but will most likely change the shocks as well.

Good to hear it helped. You have more play between the bump stop and the frame now. you can even take them off for a run and see how it feels just don't go hardcore because then the axel will hit the frame. If you like that then either buy shorter bump stops or cut yours more.
