I would like to achieve this.
All this time I have been researching lowering but since I have a 4X4 and have now grown to like the lifted look would someone point me in the right direction.
I see some kits on StylinTrucks that are around $1500-$2000.
Why is lifting more than lowering?

You wont get that lift for 2 grand, the resi-shocks cost that much alone on that thing :laughing1: lift cost more cause there are more pieces, fabrication, hardware and brackets from the makers. Also there are so many lift companies to choose from prices will very greatly. btw, i would look at other websites for the lift kits besides stylin trucks, you will find much more and good pricing.

Haha looks like you may want to go baco getting a drop now.
You can get a 3/5 drop kit with all hardaware like new shocks and extenders for about $800 OTD.
Then you could also add 24" wheels and tires for another $2500 and you'll be done.
Either way, whatever you decide you can check out Tim (the McGaughys retailor on this forum) for the drop kit and www.4wheelonline.com for a nice suspension lift!

well I've made up my mind and back to lowering it is.
like nnaboy said for the same price I can lower it as much as I want and get a nice set of wheels.
don't say I didn't try though when all of you complain that I lowered a 4x4.


while I am still in this thread would anyone like to enlighten me on the last part of lowering that I haven't figured out...
you get the kit shocks, spindles, hardware, and torsion keys but for a 3/5 drop what do you need to modify?

1. cut the bumpstops/relocate them
2. ...fill in please :)

yeah that tahoe prob. has 10" or a little more of lift on it... I would go with aquinosteven and do like a leveling kit, or a 3" body. After that put a nice set of 20's and 33's on it, it would look good... i know what you mean about the saving money part! I want to put a FTS 15" on mine one day, but saving the money is going to be the hard part.
