new to tahoe drops

[Nortex]

I bought nicks drop the 3/5 setup with keys coils and helpers. I have never done keys on anything before and am only familiar with nnbs truck helpers. My questions are, when doing keys i only want a 2 to 2.5" drop how do I acheive this? on the rear how much air can helpers have and hor much lift will i get out of them. I will be running a 275/55/20 at first and want a 1" or so between tire and fender. Thanks guys.

I got a Ground Force lowering kit with shocks, keys and springs. I plan on doing the kit myself cuz a dealership wants to charge me $500 to install.....dont think so. I have a 04 Suburban and i live in Colorado Springs. I dont have a lift or anything but i do have air tools. Could do yours once i see how mine fits on....

Ok what kit is it?

keys in front on stock shocks turned more than 2 inches ride suffers and alignment is off thats why I go with djm a arms if people want more than 2 inches. Easier to align and ride is better.

now in rear 5 inch drop what springs are they?
are you running the rear hardware kit?
do you have shock extenders?
do you have shorter shocks?

Thank you very much man!! Please keep me informed on how your kit rides once it's installed!! I'm still really new to suspensions so I will still prob give Tony a call sooner than later. It'd be really cool to see some of your before and after pics!! Good luck !!!!

Keys in the front and would like to ride at about 2".
1. the springs are djm tahoe springs
2. No clue
3. yes
4. stock replacement

1. what color djm tahoe springs
2. if you have the blue springs for the above answer then you need the hardware kit ie trailing arm relocators and swaybar endlink relocators
3. shock extenders with the blue spring if you have it arent enough you need a shorter shock
4. hopefully they arent the blue ones.

The springs are belltech 23305 and have helpers
