    Tires and drop???

    Well its about time for the ol suspension drop, i have the new tahoe 20's but i dont think that the big tires will work with a 3/5 drop (i could be wrong). If any you guys know what tire size i will need with a 3/5 drop and 20's the more info the better!..

    Uh...I thought the factory 20's that came off a Tahoe were equipped with 275/55R/20??????
    ANYWAY....Keith, ditch the 275/55's and get some 255/40/20 and get a McGaughty's 2/4 spindle drop kit.
    I also helped with a Hotchkis 2/4 drop that was done with springs up front and leafs in the back. That was a relatively simple swap as well...

    I'd take the leveling shackles off and sell them. Then I'd personally go with the McGaughty's kit--spindles up front ride better than drop springs do (from what I've heard)...

    I bet they are close to fitting. They have like a 30mm offset that should tuck them.
    Gone, but not forgotten!

    if you have a 2wd you can play a bit, i have 305/50r20's in the back and 275/50r20s in the front, they could be 275/55r20's i cant remember its one of the two. if you have 4wd they have to be the same obviously, but just a thought.
