Default 07 Tahoe LTZ Lowering Options?

Hey Guys. I am working with a 2007 Chevy Tahoe LTZ, with AutoRide. Has anyone lowered these or have any experience with it? What kit was used? How did you like the new handling & appearance? Any issues with the Autoride or dash lights? Trying to figure out which kit works and appears the best. Images would be nice too. Please advise.

you could always take the air out of the tires...

jk, i come from a Jeep background, and lowering a Jeep is cause for manslaughter...

Well there are a few guys on the forum who did the mcgaughys drop and seem to really like it. If I had the money I'd go with the Kelderman system.....

Hi. Do you have more information on this Kelderman System?
Anybody have any first hand experience with this SUV and a lowering kit?

Well I know its called the GMT900 lowering system, and it is basically plug and play or at least thats what I saw when they installed it on an episode of Trucks. I dont have any first hand experience although, for what its worth,I saw a guy in the Tahoe section of cardomain.com that installed it and said he loved it.

My wife's 07 LTZ is lowered 2/3 with the McGaughy's drop of spindles and springs. Ride quality is pretty good with the air ride. The back is a bit more bouncy, but no huge concern. I can't tell any difference in the front suspension. I do have issues with the abs/traction control. The lights don't stay on or anything, but at some points when turning in parking lots, or making u-turns, the abs will kick on. I think this is because I put too much stress on the rear abs lines when installing the drop. I'm going to replace them soon to see if that fixes it.[/align][/align][/align][/align][/align]
