Don't have the truck yet, planning on getting it next year. But I'm planning on putting either 22" or 24" rims on it and wanted to lower it an inch, 2 max so that the wheel well gap is very small so that it is a sportier look for a SUV instead of a ghetto ride. So what kinda springs would you guys recommend for what i am talking about?

Welcome to the forum. Remember that bigger wheels are usually heavier and affect braking and acceleration. Also lowering w/ springs will necessarily adversely affect ride as will the lower profile tires that will be necessary w/ larger wheels.

thanks for the info, so I guess doing both should keep the braking and acceleration relatively similar. But im not too worried about driving like a maniac with the Tahoe, otherwise I would have gotten another coupe.

Can you point me in the direction of any springs? And would you recommend 1" or 2" drop, I want to minimize the gap of the well, not make it a low rider.

I guess I wasn't clear. What you are proposing would adversely affect braking, acceleration, and ride. The lowering might marginally improve handling.

Try searching this forum on lowering as there has been a lot of discussion on that subject and different applications.

the escalade has 22" stock so i'd put those on and see how it looks first.

when you start to modify ride height; it's a can of worms... but hey if you want to!
