What size tires are you running on the Yukon? Also how does it ride with the drop? Im currently debating on ordering the 4/6 kit that tony sells but I hear that when you lower a suv that low it rides bad and bottoms out easily. Do you have enough clearance to go up a incline driveway? Sorry for so many questions just want to see whats up before I order my kit

There are people who are lower and say it rides better than stock, as long as you have the right stuff.

His tires are 275/30/24. Not to be a dick but he said it a few posts above yours and everything about that drop is in this sub forum. Just read

Now really thin tires 275 30 24 but I have some 285 35 24 I will put on after I bagged her, Its hard to say if she rides hard. I say that because if you have nevered driven a lower car before it will be different for you. I have only heard good things about Tony's kit but you must have the right set up! Rims size, offset , tire size , where you live and drive ,etc...I live in So Cal with a lot of messed up roads but I been driving lowered cars for over 20 years.

I used to live in LA and dailyed a civic that the oilpan and trans had a little more than 2" of clearance so I'm sure a 4/6 tahoe will feel the same as it does stock to me lol Inclines aren't an issue once you learn how to drive a lowered vehicle

I'm sure the people who claim they ride better than stock are in Florida, Oklahoma, and other silky smooth states

24" with a modified 4 -5



Thanks! Should finish the rear this Friday ( shocks, bump stops, airlift helper bags and maybe spohn kit to tighten the rear up)

Did you have to do any modifications to the rear with the 4-5 drop? I just received the 4/6 kit and currently have the 2/4 on it now. The rear end already looks close to hitting with the 4" in the rear. Just nervous that the 6" will hit

I bought the whole kit from tony minus the spindles because I already had them. I already have the free travel mod done but like I said the chunk of the rear end sit close to the floor of the body and it looks like if I go down to 6" in the rear it will hit the body
