Planning on a 2/3 drop

[brndns_hoe]

I'll probably get this done in the next 2 or 3 months. And I've got the perfect excuse, the wife is now pregnant, so of course I told her we need to lower it so she'll be able to get in and out easier! haha

I'm planning on doing the shocks too, Bilstein HD but what's everyone's recommendation on brands/kits for doing the drop? I'm still kinda debating a 3/5....I'm afraid 2/3 won't be enough and 3/5 will be too much.

About to try the drop myself this weekend. Beltech 5305 springs rear and 3/4 keys upfront. From what ive seen or been told, not the best way, but for my drop on a budget it works. Just will have to get some shocks. So i cant really say much on what kit, but when i get done, i can let you know on my end. (budget drop)

the 2/3 drop kit with front keys wont ride as good as the 3/5 kit with the rear traiblazer 4" djm springs. yet another member picked up the kit from me yesterday (posted in my vendor section) he will be installing it this weekend and ill let him shoot back some info. If your ona budget the keys/rear springs/shock extenders and belltech street performance shocks all around will do. just at a 2 inch level you do feel the bumps a lot more

really? it's actually smoother on the 3/5? interesting

the trailblazer 4 inch rear drop springs is the best riding 4 inch plus spring thats for sure. the 3/5 since using the djm front a arms gets a smooth ride. may cost more but you wont be upset with the ride at all. ask matt14 here he has the entire djm set up and i put the tb 4 inch springs in the rear and his wife loves the ride now. before with the djm 5 inch tahoe springs rode like shit.

drop spindles up front won't change ride quality at all

nope but you lose turning radius. 3/5 drop rides better than the 2/3 because of the tb springs anyway so might as well go lower ride is better

so control arms keep from losing the turning radius? and what about keys? or is that a bad idea going more than 2 inches? think I heard that somewhere
