Re: GoodInBlack's 2009 Suburban Build.
@ Tony. I am still dropping the front. I just find it tough to lower as much as I want because of the rubbing fully loaded. With Airlift 1000s under load after I air up, I find the ride a bit harsh @ 20 or so PSI.
This works for me and my situation, as I use the truck for work at times.
In a perfect world I would run 24s on a 2/3.
Since I run only 20s, they actually tend look not as small with a mild drop.
For everyone else...... the Belltech 5301 two inch drop springs with a .75 spacer ride JUST like stock..... but better cause you are lowered. I have pulled the springs 3x. I am not doing this again.
If anyone reading this wants a MILD drop.... so that the A** of your truck is not that high that it looks abnormal.....but do not want to lower because you think it will ruin your ride...... this is the set up.
I will post accurate measurements tomorrow. Right now the unofficial measurements show 36 all around. Which is really LEVEL.
I will drop the front too.... so I have a rake. I do not like a real level look..... because in my opinion that looks off..... due to the lines of the vehicle.

GoodInBlack's 2009 Suburban Build.
The tail lights I was actually trying to show you I couldn't find but ill describe them incAse it appeals to you.
They look just like the Yukon tail lights but they are LED they are made by CG but I haven't been able to find them. They used to be on carid.com but I didn't see them.
But I think these would be cool smoked personally I may have previously sent them to you.
