Want to lower it just a bit - help me choose parts

[NathanJax]

Tony has a set of 5305 springs for sale if im not mistaken. I would contact him to see. I think they were 175 shipped to lower 48

Those will ride better than the spring in the link as well.


However, they don't come with shock extenders or 1" cups

True..

I thought that kit comes with the 5305 springs. The parts list on the installation instructions seems to suggest so: http://www.belltech.com/extras/docs/BBGC/34324.pdf

I do like Tony's prices, but with exchange, duties, taxes and shipping to Canada, I don't think he'd be able to beat my local guys.

The local parts guy also suggested I stick with my Nivomat's until they die, which is what I'll be doing. Hopefully I can get another year out of them, but at 240,000 kms (150,000 mi) I'm already planning ahead on replacing them.

Definitely a 3" spring. If you do a 2", you'll end up buying the 3" anyways and taking a hit by selling used 2" springs

You don't have to get new shocks unless yours are just worn out. Definitely don't want shorter shocks in the rear. You want full shocks to get the full movement of them and just need to add shock relocators.

Belltech springs... you want Belltech springs...

If you run shock extenders, it's the same as running shorter shocks.

If you run shock extenders, it's the same as running shorter shocks.

You always want to run extender 3 or more. It also fixes the shock angle which is important

I'm really trying to achieve 2 inches. 3 inches is ok for me, as I can adjust the front to level out. I think with the above kit and my Nivomat shocks, I should get 2 inches from what I can tell from this other thread: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/02-tahoe-with-2-3-drop-and-zw7-premium-ride-suspension.77184/

By the way, Tony, I sent you a PM.
