I just mounted up my new wheels and tires on my 2013 Tahoe LT and I'm looking for some specific advice.
I'm looking for a quality kit or a combination of kits to lower the front 2" and allow the rear to ~easily be switched between 3" or 4".
My wheels are 24X10 +31 offset with 295/35/24 tires.
Please provide parts #'s and links if possible.
Thanks in advance.

BTW, I have searched throughout the forum and didn't find anything specific for my situation.

Easy get 4” drop springs for the rear and then get a 1” leveling pick for the rear spring. When you want 3” just jack up the rear unbolt the sway bar links and throw the puck in and sit it back down takes like 20 min If even that
Only other and way more expensive option is airbag setup in the rear

Maybe it’s just the pictures but your overall diameter looks too large to lower it very much. My 22s with the stock 285/45/22 rub quite a bit with a 2/3 drop.

You can do a 2”/3-4” lowering kit with those 24’s but you will need to do some slight modifications to the front wheel well. The modifications needed are commonly known as the “NorCal Fender Mod”. It’s not that intrusive and pretty simple. When done correctly no one will know it’s done except you. The factory fender liner goes right back over the cut/bent back steel.

This is a great video on the NorCal Fender Mod I’m referring to:


Does your Tahoe LT have rear auto-ride? This would mean that you have a rear air compressor and rear auto-ride sensor rods on the upper control arms.

This factory rear suspension set up will determine what parts are needed to lower your rear.

Thanks for the responses. I'm familiar with the Norcal mod, I've owned 5 NNBS trucks (2 currently).
However, this is my first NNBS SUV and I' don't want to screw with it too much.
I just want it to look good and drive good.
So, I'm thinking of starting with a 3" drop spring in the rear with a 1" lift spacer.
Would I need any other parts to keep my stock ride? Like drop shock mounts?
