I recently purchased a 3/4 belltech lowering kit for my 1999 tahoe. I was talking to some friends at a local shop and they were telling me that my kit wouldn't work with my wheels and tires. I have 22's, with Nitto 285/45's. I know i may have to mod some thing on the car for it to work. Do any of you have the same kit and wheel size as I do? Or anyone know what I may have to remove? I know, super noob questions, haha.

i see you live in Charleston, i used to live in Beckly - let me know how the kit works out for you.. and is that a 2wd or 4wd?

-Also - from experience... - My yukon wasn't lowered just stock height w/ my 275/55/20s they can and will hit the fenders causing them to bow out and dent - also causing the tires to get cut up on the sides - because of that lip on the fender - you may want to roll the fenders

Thanks for all the help guys. But sadly, after tons of cash and time, my tahoe is out of commission. The engine is locked, needs flywheel and starter. More money than I have at the moment to repair or drop something else in. So, I am currently without a vehicle. on the brightside, bikes don't need gas. lol.

I had a 95 Tahoe 4dr. 4wd that was lowered 3-4. I had 22's w 265 40 22. The most important thing about a 3-4 drop and 22's is the offset of the wheels. The wheels I had were 22x9.5 with a +40 offset.
Good Luck
