To lower or no to lower

[savila1021]

O here we go again. Plans to keep the Tahoe stock have failed. A buddies audio store is hooking up a killer system from top to bottom on the Tahoe. So what good is it if it looks stock :/

Now I have 2 routes to go, I have a old Isuzu pup to be bagged and completely re done. Or lower and hook up the Tahoe. Problem is I had a 08 silverado I lowered 4/7 with 26s and the dash lit up like a Christmas tree. So I'm stuck if I should or not lower the Tahoe. Plan is to do 24s with a 305 and powder coat them white. All white no chrome. And do a 2/3 or 3/5. The Tahoe has 26k miles and I'm scared I'm gonna screw it up. Did any of you guys have a problem when lowering? Am I going to have to cut or remove wheel lining and most important will it screw up the truck ? I live in between ATX and San Antonio and have no one reliable to lower the truck correctly. Does any body know a shop or a member on here that can help with a lil cash money for motivation.

Help guys please.

Has the 4 high option and I think it has autoride. Loud compressor kicks on when I turn on for a minute or two.

Get with Modded and NorcalSS. Modded has used just about every component available at one time or another and NorcalSS sells just about everything. Both are valuable resources when trying to lower your truck.

or 3/5+

Now make sure to disconnect the lines on the frame in rear or you will snap them and dash will light up. Also in front make sure to do the same and keep eye out on the abs cable etc so you dont break the line. The kits are very easy to install just as with anything electrical make sure to check all connections that they are loose when you pull it apart or you will damame a line

What they said^^^^^^

I inadvertently disconnected my ABS lines on my frame when installing rear shocks. They are the ones atop the frame above the spare tire area. Little buggars.

You know... you did ask guys who lowered their trucks if you should lower yours....... What did you expect?
