New here, got Q's regarding drop (pic of truck inside)

[Ak907-]

Hey guys new member here, i drive a 2000 Tahoe z71

Here are some pics of her:












This summer i want to have this thing dropped, nothing too crazy i still want some clearance so i was thinking a 2/2 or a 2/3. Any recommended kits? I also want new shocks for better handling.

And eventually i will be getting new wheels, 17x9 is the size im shooting for. As for the rubber im really digging the Nitto Terra Grapplers, but what size could i fit with a 2/2 drop? I want wide tires but i dont want it to sit taller than it already is. Currently i have 265/70/17.

Cheers

if it's a Z71....do NOT drop it!

I agree, but if you're really hell bent on wanting it. You should try searching the suspension forum.

For the longest time i wanted to have a 2" leveling kit with 285's but for some reason I'm starting to go the opposite direction. Sometimes i still can't decide.

Thanks for the feedback so far

Great looking truck. Love the red, I got the same truck but I got stuck with green but I'm use to it now. I agree with everybody else, lift it.

Actually, I'm kind of a fan of the way leveling kits look. It's a meaner stance with out being too low. Kinda like, just enough.
This is my opinion, though. Go with your gut. Make sure you do with it what you want. Not necessarily what every body else thinks you should do with it.
You'll be more satisfied in the end.
