i needed ball joints so i figured i would replace everything on my suspension while it was apart. Hotchkis springs all the way around and Western Chassis lower control arms and DJM lowering shackles make up the drop, looking to get an inch lower in the back though. i'll post better pics after i wash it today.

Looks good. I did the same thing, needed a lower ball joint (damn wheel adapter broke) and went with the Western Chassis lower control arms. I left my stock springs up front and did 3" drop springs and 2" shackles on the rear.

were your control arms 2" or 3"? i was told they were 2" but it looks lower than that to me.

thanks for the compliments guys. i got it detailed today and put my new fog lights on, im going to try to take some better pictures later

Mine were supposed to be 2" as well but they lowered it more than that.

I dont know what it is about Chevy/GMC trucks, even with factory wheels, always look damn-good lowered...

im looking for some z71 tahoe/suburban 17s. i havent seen them on a lowered truck and want to be different i guess. i'd like 20s but dont want the short sidewall i'd have to run

You sir, have very poor taste.


Looks good. You couldn't get by with a 275/45? That's 29" tall. Im sure what you're running now is just as tall. Looks like you're running 32".

17" Tahoe wheels would look good though.

my tires now are 29" tall, 275/45s would probably be a pretty tight fit because of the width, im leaning towards the 17s more i think

Where did you get your hotchkis springs? I bought front set for my '03. They said they weren't making anymore. I'd like to pick up another set, just to have laying around.

You could try to find some hybrid tahoe 18's. They aren't cheap, but I found a site that has some. My only problem with the 17s is they are 7.5" wide. The 18's are 8". I prefer a 9" + wide wheel, especially the rear wheels.

Have you thought about looking into an aftermarket 20 with different backspacing?

i found the front and rear springs on performancetrucks.net (there is a tab at the top of this site)

i am considering Boss 330 wheels for 20s. $186/wheel plus tires is the only thing holding me back

none of the above...the 2nd set is actually Denali wheels.... these are the ones I have..only pic I have of my truck with the factory wheels on it..
