How Low is Impractical?

[cwbrider33]

Hello, I'm new to the forums, first post. I come from a world of modified VW's and Audi's so I'm well aware of life after lowering, but also know the different between dropped, and impractical.

I just bought a 2wd 07 tahoe after my 01 suburban "expired." I will be daily driving it as well as my GF fairly often. I'm thinking about 2/4 or 3/5 drop but was hoping for some real world experience about the drivability of it. Are those with 3/5 drops scraping on everything, are common speed bumps an issue, etc etc?

I will be running stock wheels and tires at first, but then hopefully going to 22 or 24.

Like I said, I'm new to lowered SUVs so please take it easy on me if this is a dumb question haha

Any help would be great! Cheers

3/5 is fine for every day driving. plenty of people on here are doing it with no issues

I run a 2-3 on 22 with my 08 denali and it's fine, 45 Miles ea way. I love the ride and look. So I'm sure the 3-5 would be just fine as well just run 40 series on a 22. I have 45 since I tow a lot on weekends

I'm on 3-6 with Tony's tbss bags and love the ride so much better then the stock autoride just gotta run the right tires and do bit of trimming. I was worried about speed bumps and driveways too but then I realized this wasn't a civic 3" drop

After today I'll be getting a hold of Tony for that air bag kit, I had 3 10 year olds in my 3rd row 2 16 year olds in my second row captian and was hitting the bump stops a few times and that kinda stuff drives me crazy hahahaha. I'm sure his kit can fix that.

Thanks for all the insight and posts. Also I guess I should say I'm just rwd. No awd/4x4/auto ride

What size wheel/tire do you plan on running?
what is your budget?
how many miles on the truck?

tell me that and i can dial in a kit for you

Going this low gets expensive due to having to get Panhard and Sphon kit etc?

Does it not?
