alright so my Chevy Tahoe is a 2007 NNBS and just rolled over 60K miles on the stock 20s and stock suspension, no autoride
i will evetually be rollin 6s or atleast 24"s
i would like to do the 3/5 kit, how hard is it gunna be to go that low with 26"s? i know a few members here are ridin like that.

how bad does it stiffen up the ride? i know ill have to sacrifice some ride but i dont wanna have a straight kidney killer ride

Baiscally want some kit suggestions, hope norcal will make his way in here
and tire size on 26"s and 24"s

suspension and wheels and tires is a whole new ball game to me, so if these are n00b questions i apoligize LOL
im mainly into car audio

Nvm just saw the 24 tire size

Also I will have a rather large stereo, couple hundred pounds. How should I account for that?
It's 2 18"s in a 15cube net volume box 2 80lbs batts in the rear and 2 RF amplifiers

I have a 295/30/26 on my new setup and it works. Had 305/30/26 on my last setup and it worked. Keep in mind I have a 3/5 drop.

Did you have any rubbing? What about any mods to the wheel wells or anything like that?
I'm planning on going with Tony's 3/5 drop but I'm a Lil concerned about the weight of my system

im pretty much decided on the 24" Black esky reps, with Tonys 3/5 kit. tire size 295/35/24 as suggested by tony^
most likely will get the drop first, will i have any clearance issues once i get the wheels?

With the 295 35 24 you should be good. i have the 2/3.5 on my escalade and rubs at full lock but nothing major and im on 305 35 24.

I will be going about another 1 inch lower in front/rear hopfully this weekend.

What kind of wheel well trimming did you do? I'm in your 2/4 kit (which didn't go down that far due to autoride) and I'm rubbing a good bit.
Same wheels and tires too - same offset.
