Ok, did a little reading on lowering and looked at some pics on here. I'm used to lifting my 4x4's but I want to go the opposit with my Hoe. It's a 03 and basically I want to turn it into my version of a Tahoe SS. I'm planning on going with 20's. I might go 22's but depends on what I find when I'm ready to buy wheels and tires. Leaning toward stock SS wheels. I don't want to slam it down due to the roads in Pa and want it to ride good. Not sure if I want to go 2/3 or 3/5. I would like to keep a little rake to it just because of hauling and towing. Also planning to do sway bars. Looking at stuff from Norcal. What do you guys recommend?

Ok Silverado ss wheels or tbss wheels in 20s?

As for kit you can do the 2/3-4 kit from belltech and rear free travel mod with new endlinks and bumpstops thats 635 shipped. Airlift helper bag 60742 fits.


one thing about my 3/5-6 kit is its adjustable in front from 2-3 inches on the djm arms. Then in rear I can add another spacer so you can make it a 4-6 inch adjustable kit. Airlift 60742 also work inside my rear coils

I never looked at TBSS wheels. I always liked the Silverado SS trucks. I probably would have bought one of them instead of my Hoe if I could have found one for 10k or less. Anyhow, I only want to do this once so I want to make sure I have everything planned out. Right now she is in the shop getting the trans done and a couple other things and once I get her back I'll start collecting parts. I just don't want to do a 2/3 and wish I went a little lower.
