HAHAHA, I thought I would get some reponses from you guys. SORRY, I just cant make up my mind. As soon as I get the damn kit I always think NO I shouldnt do it. If it doesnt sell before Saturday, then it gets lowered. My appointment is Saturday morning!!! I am sorry guys, this is tough for me.

Seems like the McGaughy's 2/3 drop always looks a little lower in the rear than the front. Someone lowered a 07 Denali 2/3 McGaughy's and the rear looked a 1/2 inch too low.

Wow your truck is rubbing in the stock wheel/tire combo on?

I really want to drop my 07 LTZ (4x4) but my front wheels already rub when I turn too hard.

sw,

That was biggmon that installed that on the denali for a friend. I talked to him. He just had to adjust a part/piece that you bend. He just had to lessen the bend and it fixed it 100%. It is no the way it should be.

Thanks for the compliments guys! I should have mentioned that I'm getting about 1mpg better with the drop too. I went from 14 to 15mpg. I just ran for a while without the rear seats and got up to 15.3mpg with a city/highway mix.[/align][/align]Yeah, I get no rubbing at all up front. Kinda weird. But yes, the rear rubbed just slightly in the back. I'm not sure, maybe the 20's are a bit wider than the other sizes out there.[/align][/align]I'm hoping nobody buys your kit Landon so I can see yours lowered too!!!! [/align]

Boy I must be getting old...I don't get the whole lowering an SUV thing. I bought a 4x4 SUV to help driveability in the snow. IMO lowering it looks like a PT cruiser. I guess this must be big in the south.
