I’m looking at adding the 2/4 lowering kit ( spindles, rear springs). This 2007 Tahoe is stock without an air ride suspension. Currently the shocks installed are in good condition. Can I just use a spindle/ rear springs kit with my current shocks? Will the ride quality be the same?

The kit should come with shock extenders but I cant remember if they go up to 4”. You’re also in the area of needing the free travel mod. You may want to consider doing 3” to not have to consider either of these questions. @petethepug may know about the extenders.

I’m ashamed. I don’t know about lowering and stance on these trucks. I purposely stay uninformed about so I don’t drain my bank account.
Even though I look away at AWD, leveled, Burbs, Denali YXL & Caddy ESV, there’s still a little bit of drool falling off my face I can feel.

Hi, I have a 2011 Tahoe LT 4X4 (LMG) and I am looking to lower it. I am attracted to the 4/5 drop but I am curious as to which front drop method to use (or which drop method is more efficient and better for the suspension geometry). I have looked at the 4" drop front lower and upper control arms from Trekline Motorsports since their upper control arms are alignment correcting (or at least advertised as such). Would this be better than using a drop spindle and a lowering spring? For the rear, I was going to do the frame upgrade with a cutting wheel to avoid bottoming out (as seen on the many Youtube videos). I am using Trekline peices in the rear as well to get the 5" drop and I don't have the "Air-Ride option". I have the adjustable panhard rod picked out and I was thinking of going with Billsteins struts up front and Nitro Drop shocks in the rear if necessary. Is this an efficient lowering method or would it be better for the suspension geometry to use a 2" drop spindle and 2" springs components like Belltech or McGaughy's? I am also going with a 24X10 SIlverado FR 34 Replica rims witha a 305/35/24 tire on all 4 corners. Any advice would be deeply appreciated.
