Default About to lower my 2007 Burb....Any tips?
Hey guys,

I bought a pair of belltech drop spindles, eibach rear springs, and belltech rear shock extenders to lower my suburban 3" in the back and 2" up front. I will also be replacing my left upper control arm (worn ball joint) and new shocks all the way around. Going to star with the rear hopefully tomorrow and have it finished by Saturday so I can relax, drink beer, and be lazy on Sunday! Any tips or things I need to watch out for?

I think it turned out great! The front took a long time and I ended up damaging the alignment cam bolt in the process due to my own stupidity. I had to reconfigure the wheel speed sensor mounting. The back end dropped right out and was super easy.

Are they off a Z/71? If so, are you interested in selling them?
