Stock height is already impractical haha. Especially on the new 2015s I've noticed. They are way too low. A lift kit would be essential if I had one of those.

Daily driver here.

08 RWD Tahoe 3/5 drop

Front BT springs and BT struts/ rear DJM springs and BT drop struts w helper bags. DJM endlinks and bumpstops. Spohn panhard bar. Don't be crabbin. Norcal SS hooked me up.

33" front
33.5" rear

24x10 +30 offset
295/35/24 Falkens

Its a little stiff but not bad. Havent cut off the rear bumpstops. The price you pay to stand properly. Good luck.

Hey Tony! Finally re-visiting this thread after life interviened for a while.

To answer your questions, I want to go as low as will allow for practicallity, reliabilty, and budget friendliness. Whether that be a 2/3-4 or 3/4

My tahoe has 123k miles on it and I can tell the shocks are starting to get a bit worn in the rear so I would need a kit that replaces those and potentially addresses the front as well.

I'm not sure what a good kit runs as far as cost is concerned, seems like there are a ton of options for a wide range of prices. The lower $ the better without sacrificing too much quality. I'm planning on running 22 or 24' wheels.

Lastly, wondering where I would go about getting a kit like this installed (dealership, local garage, etc etc)

Thanks!

This is gorgeous... I'm in NY so I dunno about 26in wheels. But I'm OK with Goin 24s like boss 330s or u2-55 wheels .. the 3/5 kit bolts right on I don't have to notch the frame or nething significant.? Do I have to roll the fenders does this kit come with everything I need.?
