I have a Tahoe lowered 2/3 with a Mcgaughys kit. Not too happy with the ride on it and also have a huge speaker box with two 21's in the rear. I been thinking about raising it back up to factory height to try and gain a smooth ride again but now that I been seeing the 4/6 Im starting to think about lowering it more. Just scared because my ride is horrible with the 2/3. What do yall think I should do? Lower or lift it back up..

I would go lower. There''s a reason your kit is riding like poop. Fix the reason and you'll be happy.

(I have no idea the reason, just stating a fact. A lot of people have a 2/3 and rides better than stock)

Yea one of my friends has the same kit and it rides awesome. I think the front struts are bad and that's why it rides bad up front. I think the back rides like it does because of the weight of my speakers and box. I hear the lowering springs don't do well with a lot of weight.

go lower or fix what's wrong with your setup. I'm at 2/4 and it rides better than stock in 95% of all situations. You can make yours better :)

With the 4/6 kit that you sell would I be able to fit 24's? Plus do you have a picture of a Tahoe 4/6?

Send some pics my way. I would like to see what they sit like before I order the kit. I have drop spindles already and Im thinking about ordering the rest to make it into a 4/6. Also want to order the 24" Texas Truck Replicas

there are a few on here. Usually most people just buy and install and local guys if they let me use their pic i post it up if they dont send them to me then i dont bother. Due to previous incident i no longer take customers truck pictures and post them online unless they are there in person to see me take it or they give me the pics.
