Front use your stock keys, 24's will eat up most the gap.

Rear's I say drop shackles bc you can alter the rear stance. You go adjust your shackles in case there is rubbing issuses.

is there a post on here that shows how to do it with the stock keys i want to lower because of the big gap between the tire and the fender and i like the stance of the tahoe limited thanks

Spray some PB blaster or wd40 on those key bolts before you attempt to lower it. this will make it easier.. all you need to do is crank it down instead of up lol

Follow the long bars from each lower control arms all the way back to the cross-member on the bottom of the cross-member a few inches from the bar you will see a bolt. Only adjust it after taking all the weight of front wheels. Then bounce the front and check side levelness and re adjust if needed. Get an alignment afterwards.

Not sure myself you will have to see how far you down you can go. Keep this in mind. The same height left and right will have different amounts of bolt threads showing. So if you bottomed one out on the other side might not be. Which ever key bottoms out first will be you drop limit with out re-keying. You will be turning counterclockwise to lower when looking up.
