Official 00-06 Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade drop guide with pics...

@ridin_low07 that looks great! Judging by your fender to tire clearance (and seeing you have the same size tire) you should be around 30" ground to fender. I "believe" that puts our vehicles at a 3" drop (I can't find reliable stock fender measurements).

Considering you're going lower, I would also recommend the DJM sway bar end links, belltech shock relocation kit, and a Spohn panhard bar. You should also be good on alignment. I did the belltech spindles with stock keys set to 30" from ground to fender and my alignment guy had no problems getting everything in spec.

@BlackedOutHoe i edited my post. Front is at 31.75" and rear is at 33.5". I still need to.do the free travel mod and figure out what jounce stops to run up front. I will look into those tear upgrades tho. Thank you for the advice

Whew you low bro!!! I pulled my front and am running nothing, but I'm also not as low as you are. Free travel mod is a life saver!

Considered upgrades:
-Need to downsize the tire size a little due to rubbing on big dips and sharper turns. Also need to find an alternative to the front Jounce Bumper bracket as the previous owner cut them off. Also need to find a different rear sway bar end link as its hitting on the passenger side.

Brief impressions of setup:
Not a bad ride overall. A bit shaky as I need to replace my tie rod ends. Otherwise rides pretty well.

I have an `06 Denali, bought it in May of last year, it has the stock size 275/55R20's on it mounted on some Dick Cepek rims,( I could take or leave them) in fact I just replaced the no name all terrains with Michelin XT's. Ride is amazing now. I think the previous owner turned down the torsion bars in front. I like the front height, but would like it a couple inches lower in back. I do have auto ride. I will eventually, maybe, go to 22's, but for now I like the ride I have. I do plan to add HD sway bars front and rear as well.
Any suggestions as to lower the rear a bit without spending thousands?
I know I will need some airbags to tow anything over about 1500 lbs.

I ended up buying some 2" drop Eibach rear springs from Carid.com. I would post updates, but it doesn't look like anyone really cares. ha ha.
