.......all I need to know is can and will my rear load leveling system still work? As far as I know its the hydraulic system. Deffinatly no air compressor. Its a 2001 Yukon SLT. I will be towing a boat and I dont want the truck to squat anymore than the lowered 5" in back! :driver:

alex with the djm trailblazer 4 inch drop springs you will get about a 4.5 inch drop (with autoride links adjusted) and you will also need shock extenders. Ive sold a few kits on here with guys that tow and the autoride still works fine and due to the trailblazer 4 inch drop spring ride is pretty much best out there.

Hey Tony... Thanks for the advise I appreciate it! I was reading some of the threads on here about the TrailBlazer springs. I wouldnt be opposed to that at all..... I just need to get as low as I can and still be OK with my 4wheel drive, and towing (with leveling), and be good with 24"X10" wheels with 295/35 rubber.
In fact if you could peice together a complete package I'll consider getting everything from you direct. Let me know what ya think!

I just put my other car up for sale so as soon as thats gone Im doin up the Yuke!!

ive done tons of these trucks since late 99 with a 3 inch front drop with the djm a arms no probs ever with the 4wd set up.

with 24x10 and 3/5 drop i ususally do 295 30 24. 295 35 24 is a tall tire so on a customers truck if the offset is wrong i wont go lowe in rear.

if you click my sig i have a complete page dedicated to the tahoe platform and you can see it all there. Only thing i would add in is belltech front/rear swaybars they help these suvs a lot

With an 03 Z71, a set of Trailblazer springs would drop my rear 4.5 inches if I don't have autoride? What would I need for my front end to drop it so it's level or small rake difference. I see you recommend the DJM arms. Would just the arms drop it the 2-3 inches, would I need anything else for the front end? spacers or spindle or springs ? Would my stock shocks work ok with these new a-arms?

Are these just regular Trailblazer Springs for any year or are they SS Trailblazer Springs ? I'd need shock relocators for the rear, correct ?

you need the complete kit which is 825 shipped
front djm 3 inch a arms
front djm shocks
rear tb 4 inch drop springs
rear djm hardware kit with swaybar endlinks and trailing arm brackets.

It will drop the front/rear about even just ride is much nicer on the djm tb rear springs. Also if its to low you can add the belltech 1 inch spacers i have those for $35
