99 Tahoe 2dr, Can we go lower than 3/3.5?

[RaiN]

I have a key and shackle kit on now thats set at 2/2 and I want to go lower. Is there a kit out there that will help me slap the truck down lower?

[tahoehtp]

get hanger for rear so can drop more.
and turn torsion key all the way like leave 2 threads. so it will drop lower than 2" that's what I did on mine. it dropped almost 3" in front.

[RaiN]

I was told that the front hanger wont work on the 2drs. Another question is I would like to still use 4wd is there a way to retain it?

[tahoehtp]

you can use 4wd even if it's bagged.
you can prob take the last spring off the rear to drop another 1"

[RaiN]

Hm, now this sounds interesting...

Maybe a 3.5 inch rear lower spring. with the 2inch hangar I already have and crank down the torsion key almost all the way???

So that would be a 3/5 or so???

[tahoehtp]

yeah pretty much did you find the rims to go with yet?

[RaiN]

I cant really find anything I like. The selection is pretty slim, plus I'm still kinda scared to order a set of wheels just to find out they dont fit either....lol

[tahoehtp]

yeah true. for me only to find out my rim fits after bagged the truck save me some $.......

[RaiN]

I wish I could go bagged, sadly this trucks going to be driven all year round and the cold winters here sometimes get down to -30 to -40. I dont want to risk a cracked bag..etc.

[tahoehtp]

ah ha! yeah you are in Alaska. well seen few people daily driven bagged truck but maybe more south than where you are.
I'm drivin mine daily. that's why I haven't set to lay frame.. so in any case the bag will fail, I can still drive and make turns.... and not going to be comfortable ride though but this way I can drive home or wherever I need to get it fix...

[RaiN]

Yeah, I think I found a 72 2wd that I may try to get for cheap... That will get bagged and BD'd.

[tahoehtp]

nice!

[RaiN]

Check my other post for the wheels that I found...

[RaiN]

I was wondering, are there any problems I should watch for with a 3/5 drop??? Lowering by spring and shackle is ok right?

Lowering by spring and shackle is ok right?
Yep.
