Welcome. Just curious---what are your measurements front and rear? Starting from the lower center edge of the wheelwell(above your tire)to the ground? Should be a level flat surface.
I dropped mine 3/4. It's an 03 Tahoe 4wd. With 22's the front measures 33 1/8" and the rear is 33 1/4". View attachment 246009
I used a kit from crownsuspension.com. I got the kit with the front lowering keys, rear lowering springs and rear shock extenders.
This is the kit I bought---https://www.crownsuspension.com/lowering/3/4-lowering-kit-4-coils-2-3-torsion-keys-with-shock-extenders/
You look a little higher then me, especially in the front. You probably can adjust the front keys to lower another 1/2"--1".
It doesn't look dropped to me just shock extenders for whatever reason.
Yes, I think it was leveled in the back about 2". No way to be sure. Probably springs. 1 inch drop up front looks plausible.
Tire height makes a bit of a difference.
It does appear to be lowered a little bit in the rear. Not much in the front. On the autoride trucks the airbags in the shocks provide a bit of the ride height. If you have shock extenders and altered the rod for the autoride sensor you can get a little bit of drop.
It actually looks very similar to my stock Escalade platinum, which sits lower than the non platinum and has less rake. More like a 1/2 drop.

Yes, I want a 2" drop up front. I like the DJM control arms, but they give a 3" drop. I understand that these trucks are higher in the back, so I was thinking a 4" in the back.I would consider dropped springs and lowering spindles.
Lowering keys are a ripoff IMHO. The stock keys have as much adjustment as you really can go without negatively effecting the ride. Spindles are not much more $.
