We did the 3/5 on my wife's Tahoe with autorode in the driveway. It's a pretty easy install.

We did the dim kit with Tbss coils in the back and new arms in the front. It rides as close to stock as you could expect from a dropped hoe. It's nice since it uses all stock shocks and springs in front and stock shocks in back.

I'd highly recommend the kit and it shouldn't be too hard to find a shop that does drops in your area.

There are pics if her Tahoe in the "upgrades" thread.

Norcal ss is who we bought through and he was a good dude. Didn't have to call for support but he was very helpful and available throughout the sale.

I text tony in the middle of my install and he called me a minute later and answered my question. Hour later.........return text to ensure problem resolved. AWESOME

ive done it myself. I have 69k on my truck. Biggest problem was the Front. I had a hard time removing the rotors due to rust. I live in New England. I ended up Leaving the rotors on and removed them with the Hubs. Trimming the upper Ball joint stud is needed for 4x4 and also the lower bj stud if your planning on using anything smaller than a 20' rim. Lastly, alignment is needed because tie rod arms have to come off

That's what we run with our 3/5 and even spaced up in the front it rubs. Removing the fender liner would do the trick but that looks like shit IMHO.

The rear takes a little trimming but it clears fine.

Just FYI for anyone that searches this in the future haha

Not hard to do my man. I installed mine in the driveway in about 2.5 hrs. I did have my dad over to help, but all he did was fetch tools and operate the jack from time to time

Do the 2/3-4, you'll be happy. It rides great too. I'll upload the video I did of the rear and you can see how easy it is. I'll get you a link this weekend
