What's up guys. Finally got a chance to clean up the Tahoe yesterday and take some decent pics since lowering it last weekend. I'll start with some pics of how she looked back in March of this year and how it's progressed to be where it's at now. I'm not finished with it, but it's getting there. We all know how this modding thing goes.... it's never quite finished. :)

Drop Kit Consists Of:
3" DJM Arms
Belltech 5305 Rear Springs (uncut)
Free Travel Mod
Front Bilstein Shocks
Rear Belltech Nitro Shocks
Front Tires 305/40/22
Rear Tires 305/45/22 <-- Will change to 40's soon

Here it is basically all stock except I had already removed the roof rack.

Then we de-badged/de-molded everything and tinted the front windows.

Then added the 22" wheels.

And now some pics of how she looks with the 3/5 drop.

Looks great man. I like that color too. It'd look sweet with a color matched grill surround. :thumb:

Thanks man. I didnt like the tire size difference at first but I barely notice it now. Not a huge difference in height.

Thanks man. I like the color also because ya dont see it on this body style very often. If I did anything with the grill shroud it would probably be that black chrome. Then I'd do the chrome on the bumpers as well. Still thinking of different things though. Might do an SS front bumper...?

Please don't do an SS bumper cover. If you you really want to colormatch, I'd recommend a paintable front bumper. I think they look a million times better. jmho.

I go back and forth with the SS style bumper cover. Some trucks I really like them and others not so much. Seem to look nice on the black Tahoes but maybe its a quality thing, ie the eBay ones dont look as good? I'm really into the clean subtle details. I want to shave and tuck the rear bumper closer to the body etc...

Nice drop. Do you have shock extenders?

No shock extenders. The rear shocks are made for the drop so are shorter. I like the color of your Tahoe lol.... Haven't seen many pics of them the same color as ours.

Looks great. Can you elaborate a little bit more on the FREE TRAVEL MOD? Also how is the ride? Stiff, soft, bouncy. I have the djm rear springs and i think they suck.
