no prob honestly for now I would do
front djm a arms
front djm shocks
rear djm hardware kit
rear spohn adjustable arms.

If your set on the belltech springs and want to try out shocks go for it. If your still not happy after you test new shocks we can try the tb 4 inch spring/djm shocks which im sure you will be happy with

I just got the 24 inch Boss rims recently and the ride is horrible around 60 mph, not sure if that is common with the rim and tire size (305-35)? Is your ride rough all around at diff speeds? I still have the stock suspension, 07 yukon.

I feel you pain, I have the 295/35-24's also and the ride sucks. I need to change shocks to see what that does, but I think it mostly has to do with the low pro tire/wheel setup.

I have 305/35/24 and it rides almost as smooth as the factory tahoe ltz 20s... What's affecting the ride quality?? The drop or the rim/tire combo? Bc I have no drop but my rim/tire combo is not affecting my ride quality by any means. Of course slower take off and harder braking is there but that's because of the size/weight of the rim....anyone anyone??

most likely the tires there is a difference on ride from one brand to another.

Even though we both have the same sidewall size? I was actually debating doing a 2" rear drop but didn't want to lose any ride quality...

Kumhos ride a little harder than other brands and as for lowering id do 2/3 on your truck will ride fine. if you only want to lower the rear 2 inches id do the belltech set up.
