I think its obvious that I am getting bored with this truck... I wish I could lower it... but I don't its possible being a 4x4. Anyhow... here's a pic.

Anthony,

There are alot of lowered GMT900 4x4's over on performancetrucks.net and gmfullsize.com nobody is complaining about CV joints, all of the lowering components are exactly the same as 2wd...I know a guy who has done 2 with no issues. 3/6 or 4/6 will flatten out your CV angles, that's it.

In fact I wish I had gotten a 4x4.

Just saying...LOWER THAT THING so you can be one of the cool kids too!!!

It would be hard to lower it now that you have those rims on it, but there are kits out there for the 4 wheel drives. Come on up to Emporia and talk to Greg at Gigers Street Rods and Sport Trucks for a really good price on what you want. It would be worth the drive.

I'm sorry but why would you lower a 4wd what's the point of that? I mean with 4x4 don't you want to have ground clearance?? I'm sorry i just don't get it does somebody want to explain this to me?

[piecesparts]

Not to be mean, but there are many 4X4s that are not used for hill climbing. They are used for daily driving and working the snow and ice. I can see an advantage to having a 4 wheel drive truck on some days going to work.

However, I also see a lot of 4 wheel drives in the ditch as I drive by them on the ice. Some people have the vision that the extra wheel driving is going to make them invincible. NOT!

For the most part a good posi and common sense will get you just about anywhere.

I live in iowa i know what you mean just because you have a 4x4 doesn't mean you can't get stuck, i just mean even if you are in snow if you are lowered you can get snow up in the wheel wellsand other places and get stuck 4x4 or not. Youre right about the good posi and common sense i do alright in my '84 2wd you just have to know how to drive in winter weather i'd rather have stock height 2wd drive than lowered 4x4 but that's just my opinion then again im also not big into lift kits.

I am curious, what it took to get your TPMS sensors moved? Did you have to put on new ones?

most of todays aftermarket wheels accept your TPMS sensors I've been true about 7 sets of wheels on my 07 suburban only a few sets didn't accept them back in 07/08 they just unbolt from your factory wheels and bolt in the new rims

BTW i've really been thinking of lowering my 4x4 07 suburban its not used off road just main in bad weather (snow) here in chicago its not needed as stated 2wd and a posi will do the job but the 4x4 make life a lot easier lol

I believe that the TPMS sensors on my 2011 are rubber stems, and if they are, then the stems will not be able to be transferred. I don't know if there is a removable sender inside the tire. I am wondering if they had to put on all new senders or did they just move his sending units and put on new stems.

I be leave you can swap them over but not 100% you might need to buy new stems any local tire shop will tell you

I spent some time with my parts guy buddies at the local GM dealership, this evening. The stem is a rubber one and the TPMS sensor connects to it with a screw. The stem and a new screw costs about $10.00 over the counter and when installed you can use your sensor from the original wheels and NOT loose the computer connection. The complete setup, the stem and sensor sells for about $57.00, if needed. Finally a GM engineering idea that is useful.
