So after only 1 day here are my observations about the converstion from stock wheels/tires to 26's.. [ol][*]Definitely notice sloooooow starts off the line, guess it takes much more torque to get those beasts rolling. Wondering if I should have gone Denali instead of the LT3 to get the bigger motor + 6 speed instead of Flexfuel - basically they are the same price.[*]At highway speeds it's much less likely to kick into V4 mode?!!? Even a moderate downhill w/cruise control on.[*]Ride quality is as expected, not bad but noticeably choppier then stock. Definitely acceptable in my opinion.[*]Clearance. No major problems thus far, heard minimal rubbing when entering steep driveways at low speed or when turning hard at low speeds. I suspect a little fender well trimming may be required, more updates to come. [/ol]26's without lowering is by far the way to go. Still have clearance for when I need to go into 4WD, and the fender wells fill out really nicely. I couldn't imagine the ride quality with big wheels AND lowering springs... Save the $$ on the lowering kit (and alignment) and get 26's
