Lowering on stock 20" tires

[Ram396]

Whats the lowest you can go and still use the stock stock 20" wheels and tires without any clearance problems? Thinking about a 3/4 drop.

Looks great! How does it ride?

I love the ride. Definitely stiffened it up and took alot of the sway out of it. No regrets at all.

Thanks, good to know i won't need to get new tires. Gotta love the lowered look on the Tahoe!

I assume you did the free travel mod?

Do you or did you have the autoride rear suspension/air shocks?

If so did you keep it functional?

Also I assume you did spindles to get 2" drop was the other 2" accomplished with springs or struts?

Yes i did the free travel mod when I went from 4" drop to 6" drop in the rear. I see absolutely no way I'd ride without it being this low.

It had factory autoride which I got rid of by switching to Belltech drop struts and Belltech shocks in the rear. I also wired in some resistors and pulled the fuse for the compressor.

Do you have any rubbing issues on any of the tires?

Does the rear ever bottom out on the frame when hitting bumps?

Sorry for all the questions but I am considering this for my Burb with the factory 20's.

Agreed looks good, my stock 20s are all pitted and chrome is separating on the backside. Wasn't to worried about it but seeing them on a lowered suv I wish they were in good shape

Rear tires rubbed slightly on the inner plastics. Just a small amount of trimming needed. Nothing major at all.

It never bottoms out and I drive it pretty hard. It isn't babied. That's one thing i wanted to make sure of.
