5/7 drop 2007-2014

^ What he said.

Even a 6" rear drop is pushing it, but doable. I'm on a 5" rear drop and any deep/sharp drops at speed will slam.

a 7" rear drop 100% will require notching the frame, and probably tubbing. @Rocket Man has a SLAMMED 1500--he'd be able to provide you some more info,

How did you achieve 5”?

So this is the kit they sent me a pic of and a pic of the vehicle it’s on I’m just trying to achieve that look

if you check his signature I just realized he has a website of his truck with details. Actually pretty cool

He’s running 26” wheels from the look of it, which fill the wheel wells up and make it look lower. I can guarantee he has rubbing issues in the front with that setup. Part of the reason I got rid of the 26’s on my 02 with a static drop. That rear kit is only using drop springs and shock relocations. The adjustable panhard bar is to center the axle in the wheel wells.

I just don’t wanna have gaps in my wheel wells I’m running 24s right now and ordered the 2/4 kit

@reddmonkeyy those are DJM front lowering control arms. They make a few different options/combinations.

I also don’t think that’s a 5/7 drop. It looks more to me like a 4/6 or 3/5.

They’re from IHC suspension but not sure as to what drop they achieve, hopefully with the 2/4 I can close some gaps

I don’t know much about the IHC’s, but I do know the DJM’s are serviceable as they offer both replacement bushings and replacement ball joints.

I know it’s kind of late since you already ordered the kit, but I just ordered parts for a 2/4 drop on my 08 Tahoe. For the rear, I just went with 4” drop springs and shock relocators. I recently installed new Arnott rear auto level shocks and a Dorman compressor and plan on keeping the auto level like I did on my 02 Denali. I will be shortening the ride height links so the system doesn’t try to raise the rear up, thinking I have a heavy load on the hitch. I did this on my 02 and it works awesome. For the front, I’m cheating for a 2” drop. I will be “flipping” the bottom of the struts to the bottom of the control arms and adding a small spacer meant for a 1/2” lift to the bottom instead off the top where it was designed to be installed. I will be using grade 10 bolts and nuts because now the struts ( and front of vehicle) will be hanging from the control arm instead of resting on top. The relocation to the bottom of the control arm will result in about a 1 1/2” drop and the spacer will add another 1/2”or so for a 2” drop. Some guys have used this method combined with either drop spindles or drop control arms for a 4” or more front drop. This is a budget build and this will cost me around $300 for the whole drop and there’s no need to remove ball joints or get an alignment when I’m done. I will be detailing it in my build thread for my bagged Silverado. Link https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/thr...lverado-build-aka-the-machine.100281/page-297
