Damn! I've always wanted lifted rides, now seeing this my thoughts have changed.

Would have to be installed at the dealer so the warranty won't be voided, but damn that looks good!
Thank bro... I don't know if any dealership installing the drop kit... but if you find one that does and still keep your warranty let us know[emoji1360]

The dealership where I purchased my Tahoe ordered and installed mcgaughys 2/3 drop kit and aligned my suspension too.

I noticed in your endlink pictures that you did not move your swaybar brackets. I thought in order to install those endlinks properly, you had to relocate the driver side swaybar bracket on the axle approx. 2 inches to towards the passenger side.

I thought so too but my mechanic managed to install it without it interfering with anything.... I hope it put on right as I'm not mechanically inclined...

I could be wrong, but the reason you have to slide the swaybar over towards the passenger side (right side) is to clear the panhard bracket (located on passenger side of vehicle - see image below). Can you take more pictures of that area to show clearance between bracket and swaybar (maybe face camera upwards as shown by arrow with text "SWAYBAR CONTACTING BRACKET???" in image below).

Well after taken pictures I noticed that the sway bar is actually about a quarter inch off the shock on passenger side.... please let me know if the links were put on wrong or if there's anything else I could do to put it the way it's suppose to be45e880149ff20d7fd9aa5f25b2d13519.jpg45e880149ff20d7fd9aa5f25b2d13519.jpg6b6e1d7f3de0e765dda326a1b4020219.jpg
