Any recommendations on lowering kits for a 2007 Chevy Tahoe LT3. 5.3L

Have heard alot about Belltechs kit.

Also cold air intake recommendations.

Thanks in advance

Save your money on getting a cold air intake kit. The stock air system on the Tahoe is a cold air intake. The only difference is the sound resonator tubes it has attached to it to minimize induction roar at full throttle. You will not experience any power gains or mpg gains with an aftermarket cold air intake. And if you have one with an oiled air filter, you have to be careful not to over oil the filter or you will run the risk of coking the MAF.

If you're decided to add a new CAI, consider adding a good exhaust system so you can feel the difference.

I went with the BellTech Street Performance drop struts for the front.

I have not gotten new sway bars yet but it's on my "to do" list to get accomplished.

The rear springs I went the BellTech Street Performance shocks and 4" drop springs.

Here's my parts list for the drop
-----Belltech 5323 (rear springs for 3-4" drop)
-----BellTech Street Performance Shocks for the rear (part #: 2410FF)
-----BellTech drop struts for the front (part #: 25003)
