Your truck looks awesome! Definintely no need for lowering... How much did you pay for your rims and tires if you don't mind me asking?!

Your Hoeis awesome as well, too bad the ride isn't better because the lowered look is sweet. I would keep the wheels and go back to stock on the suspension...

I paid $1900 for mine through a local Discount Tire. I already had the tires.

Too bad the ride is rough, but I am with you...rough ride is a no go. I did after market 20's and love it...22's with stock suspension looks pretty good, but I have seen a couplearound with 24's without lowering and personally, I don't think it looks good at all....get back to stock suspension and do aftermarket 20's or 22's.....good luck!

It is a bit more work to return it to stock. You would possibly need new upper ball joints because most of the stud is cut off so the cv shaft boot (assuming you have 4wd) doesn't contact the ball joint and rip it. The instructions call for trimming the bottom ball joint too, but it's not really required if you have 20's or higher. They may have done that to be safe though. Also, they are probably figuring in new auto adjustment links for the back since the factory ones were bent when the drop was installed. They can't be much....maybe $50 max for both.[/align][/align]Your ride looks sweet though. My wife's has the same drop on the factory 20's, and I don't have much to complain about. A little harsher ride in the back, but nothing terrible. I've been tossing up the idea of wheels for a bit too. How much for yours shipped to DE? [/align]

Hey I just bought a 2007 tahoe and Ive been out allday shopping for 24 inch rims. Before I purchase 24s what is the problem with them other then its going to be a ruffer ride. My tahoehas on the20 inch polished alluminum tires. I just wanted the 24s for a better look.

Probably nothing other than a roguher ride and possibly some vibration in the steeing wheel.
