I know from experience that lowered vehicles ride much firmer than stock, as expected in most cases. My Tahoe is my new DD since my 300 got away from me and is now more of a toy than family car. My wife loves the ride of the Tahoe and doesn't care if I lower it as long as the ride quality is similar. I'm new to GM and the big SUV so any comparisons are helpful.

Thanks,
Nathan

Your 300 looks to be a BEAST!! Very nice!!

As for the ride quality, stay away from lowering keys on the front and the ride should be very nice. When doing front control arms or lowering spindles, the ride quality will be more influenced by the brand/quality of the shock. Mines got the DJM front a-arms and it rides every bit as good as stock. Actually wished it was a bit firmer to be honest.

Thank you sir. That is exactly the type of feedback I'm looking for. I also texted with Tony about it and that guy deserves his good reputation.

The 300 ain't no joke. The dyno numbers in my sig are on pump gas and blower only and I swear I don't have a bottle in the trunk just in case, lol. I ran out of cfm from the Novi 1500 and haven't switched to E85 yet or I would have been over 700rwhp with a tiny blower

Just dropped my avalanche 2/3 with one of the belltech kits like Tony sells. I have the autoride and was able to keep it. Rides a bit firmer but my wife hasn't even noticed I lowered it yet. I am guessing the majority of the firmness is from the decreased sidewall of my 26s that were installed at the same time.
