whats up guys, got a few questions about lowering my limited..
as we all know, the limited is a beast, and is already lowered 2" from the factory. was about the order a drop kit for her and my guy had a few concerns. first off, i want to be about 2-3" lower, with spindles. in the rear im looking for 3-4" lower. his question was this: when lowering a limited, if i want a 2/3 drop.. do i need a 2/3 kit? or do i need a 4/5 kit? since its already lowered. i assumed you would take the factory lowering components off, and start as if it were a regular tahoe. am i wrong? i am new to the truck/suv scene, and i see alot of limiteds here that are low, so its not impossible!
i asked norcal a while back, but my inbox got wiped out somehow. sorry man!
as a baseline, she sits as follows, from fender lip to ground:
FL- 31.25"
FR- 31"
RL- 30.75"
RR-31.25"

any help and input is appreciated. take mercy..im still an suv virgin!

i think i spoke to you already on this but here we go.

1) in front spindles will do 2 inches the limitied true drop is 1.25 ive swapped 2 inch springs and truck coems down 3/4 to 1 inch more than oem springs.

2) Belltech has a 3-4 inch rear kit but you will need to notch the frame because it bottoms out. that being said I would just do the djm flip kit which comes with a notch.

the belltech shackle/hanger 3-4 inch with the c notch is 515 shipped
the djm flip kit with notch and 1 inch lifting shackle is 400 shipped

front/rear belltech sp shocks are 225 shipped
