Need help.. 07 tahoe ride height

[kwb0748]

Ok here's what I have. 2007 Ls tahoe. 22' wheels 265/35/22 28.5 inch from ground to top of tire. 33 inch from ground to bottom of fender lip in front and 33.25 in rear. I bought a 3/5 spring kit and had them installed. I have no idea what stock fender height was before. My question is does this seem right? By looks from other 3/5 kits there seems to be a lot less fender gap. Something just doesn't seem to be adding up to me... Please help, I am in a wheelchair so the lower I can get it the easier it is for me to get in and out..Help...

That's WAY high for a 3/5. But you're also running small tires. What exact kit did you buy?

 

[ccapehartusarmyINF.(ret)]

dude hes got tiny tires hes only rollin a 28 inch overall diameter
he needs to go up to like a 45R22 or maybe a 50 or 55R22

265 40r22 should fill that out fine

My truck stock on 285/45/22s sat at about 36" front and 38" rear now with a 2/3 it's about 34" front and 34.5-35" rear.

With that small of a tire I also feel like the truck is too high for a 3/5 kit like @NathanJax said. I would think it would measure in the 32" range front and back. If you were running a taller tire like a 285/45/22 and it was at those 33" measurements I would say it was right on but even if you did put a bigger tire on there it would change all the measurements

If I put a bigger tire on it would also raise the ride height. Being in a wheelchair that isn't what I need. The kit was a crown suspension 3/5 kit from what I was told.

I personally don't know much about crown suspension, but have never heard anything bad about them. So don't know how much help I can be. Do you know what the kit consisted of?

 

[kwb0748]

Kit was just springs and shock extenders.

 

[NeverSatisfied]

Sounds like it was just a 2/3 kit then because that's all mine consists of (but I don't know for sure). 99% of the 3/5 or lower kits that I know of out there consist of springs, drop shocks, rear hardware kit, and shorter sway bar links for the rear. With some combination of spindles/struts or spindles/springs for the front.

I went to crown suspensions website and could not find a 3/5 kit on there
Heres their 2/3 kit http://www.crownsuspension.com/lowering-kits/tahoe2/3-drop-kit/
And their 2/4 kit http://www.crownsuspension.com/lowering-kits/2/4-drop-kit-2-drop-spindles-4-rear-drop-coils/
I found a 4/4 kit on eBay from them http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=171121190173&globalID=EBAY-US

Soy thought is maybe you didn't get a 3/5 kit installed like they said, but like I said Im not sure just my thought

Sorry it was a 3/4 kit.

 

[NathanJax]

Sorry it was a 3/4 kit.

maybe those springs just need to settle more. Might be a few weeks of driving to settle
