GO UP or DOWN? on my 07 Tahoe

[Zed 71]

What my thinking was to lower the rear and put some cooper LTZ tires on it and it would handle great all year round. Plus right now I have major body roll taking corners and not happy with it. Thats why I want a change.

I think you will be happy with the lower stance. IMO you will need lower profile tires (at least 20-inch wheels), stiffer shocks (hopefully the kit comes with properly tuned shocks), and aftermarket sway bars.

Well the Tahoe is at stock height right now. Now deciding how much I need to go down in the rear. After removing everything I am about 1.75" taller in the rear but I would assume it will settle a little in the front.

I went down by 2" inches in the rear. Take a look at my albums and you can see before and after pics.

PLAN B is my vote.

I am working on plan B right now. Well kind of plan B.

Just going to lower the rear and find a good set of OEM 20's.

But I need to find a kit get it shipped to me by next weekend. I have a line on a kit from a member but wouldn't get it for two weeks. Kind of want it by next weekend.

Did you try TONY (NORCALSS)???????

Yes but his kit requires two 1" spacers to give me the 2" drop. Not a fan of that. Plus I need about an 1.5" drop. So I would have to run a 2.5" spacer with his springs. Not go IMO.

Well just finished installing the kit from Tony in the rear and I sit close to level. The rear sits about .25-.5" lower now with a spacer on the bottom and top. I didn't take it for a ride yet. Will do later today.

Also Tony can I use a 1.5" spacer on the bottom with no issues to bring it up to level?

You have a spacer on each end of the spring? That doesn't sound optimal (read: safe)...
