Slight lowering for the Suburban

What do you think? I've been kicking this idea around for a while - there was enough room for a family of ducks in my wheels wells, so I decided to give it a little bit of drop. I didn't want it too extreme, just down a little & more flat....I still use it to tow, etc. (Yes - those front tow hooks only come on 4x4's )

Before....



After....



This was one of the easiest kits I've ever installed. I'm amazed at how well it rides - I actually think it's a little better than before...firmed it up just enough to not be too bouncy. Now I just need to see how well it will do with the car trailer hooked on.

Re: Slight lowering for the Suburban

I like it! Looks great. What kit did you use?

I've been tossing the idea around of giving my crew cab a little lowering job. More or less to level it out.

I really like the stance of yours.

Re: Slight lowering for the Suburban

Thanks, I appreciate the comments! I got crusified on another board for mentioning it is a 4x4. Reality is that this truck is never going offroading, and the 4x4 is only used in bad on-road conditions.

I didn't want it too low, was just looking for enough to flatten it out a bit. Anyways, it's the Eibach Pro-Kit....got it from tire rack for just over $250 to my door. Really easy installation too.

Yeah, i know what you mean. I have an S-10 4x4 slammed. People always say "but it's a 4x4!" I respond with what you said, that this truck will never see any type of offroading.

I just wanna level out my 4x4 quad cab. Thanks for the info! I never thought to look at tire rack. Again, looks good.
