Congrats on your new Tahoe. There have been several threads about lowering the Our Tahoes. There seems to be a general theme that lowering a Tahoe with auto-ride (LTZ comes standard with auto-ride) seems to have some bad side effects. Do a search I you will find several issues pertaining to this.

No problem greystone. It does not bother me, just wanted to give you the heads up.

I agree a slight lowering (I am not a big lowering fan either) looks really sharp on our tahoes.

Check out Biggmons ride. He has some great before and after pics. There are several other posters here as well that have lowered their rides as well.

Unfortunately those of us with auto-ride have a "sensative" system that causes some side effects that are not worth dealing with in my opinion until some fixes come out (There may be some fixes already-I have not checked into it lately). Let me know what you find out.

I paid $560 installed for the kit. It took about 4 hours at a shop to do it. Billet Superstore . com did the work in CA.
