lowering questions

[BubsXL]

I have a 2003 Denali XL (auto level) and I am thinking of doing a 2/3 drop and slap some TBSS 20"/22" wheels. I have a few questions.
When dropping 2/3 does the truck suffer any poor ride quality issues? Does it tend to wear tires out like lowered cars do? Do the 22s ride good with teh shorter sidewalls?
I know these questions may seem very silly but I dont want to lower my truck and it ride like hell.
Also I know plenty about lowered cars (I have two currently, one of which rides on coilovers) I am just wondering if my denali will suffer the safe problems my cars have.

A 2/3 is a pretty mild drop. You could run 22s all around with a decent sidewall without any problems and the truck will still ride well. Think of a 2/3 on these trucks like a 1.25"-1.5" drop on a car, it's noticeable but not very harsh or jarring.

I have a belltech 2/4 running 285/45/22 and it rides great to me. No jarring,bouncing,ect. Handles really nice. I am running keys up front and stock auto ride shocks all around. But if you use spindles the front will feel even better you can also get new shocks for a better ride if you're willing to lose your auto ride. Talk to norcalss(Tony). He should be able to help you out. Although I didn't purchase my kit from him he was extremely helpful.

Not the best quality pics but you'll get the idea. Also the rear has settled a little, these pics were right after install.

This is EXACTLY the stance Im looking for! What size wheels are those, and whats the offset?

 

[mharders]

There 22" wheels and I believe the offset is 25mm

with a 2/3-4 drop on that you would get this kit

yo will need to run a 285 45 22 and you will be fine
