    Got a few lowering questions.

    Not sure about the ride quality, but the McGaughys kit uses a drop spindle in the front w/ the stock front springs. Hopefully, for me, that is supposed to translate into a smoother ride in the front. The rear is basically the same.

    Got a few lowering questions.

    From experience w/ lowering my past vehicles, I would say that it will definitely handle a little better, but mostly we just say that to make ourselves feel a little better about the crappy ride.... I bought a McGaughys 2/3 drop kit before I even got my Tahoe. It's been sitting in my garage for...

    Falken Tires

    Just curious - Do you have any experience running different tires on 22s to compare the Falkens to? The reason I ask is that I didn't realize how nice the Pirellis and the Toyos were until I got the Falkens.

    Falken Tires

    If you go w/ Pirellis, I would go w/ the Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetricos. I had them on my f-150 on 22s a few years back and I really liked them. I also had Toyo Proxes 4s on my 300C on 22s that I just sold to get my Tahoe... Bottom line is that I HIGHLY recommend investing in nice tires...

    Falken Tires

    Yea, I have Falkens on my 22s. I can't wait for them to wear out so I can get nicer tires. They ride kind of rough and are noisy. I would definitely spend a tad bit more on some Pirellis, etc.... Just my $0.02

    Is this a good deal for a new Tahoe ???

    My dealer fee was $50. I could definitely live with that. But $600 is just rediculous

    Does anyone know where to buy black bowties?

    Yup, mine was exactly as you described. Three posts, but only nuts on the outer two.... Thanks for the compliment. I'm very happy w/ how it turned out considering this was the first time I've ever attempted any type of paint work. It's amazing what you can do when you pump up your raisins...

    Does anyone know where to buy black bowties?

    Yup. The front took about 1-2 minutes to take off w/ a 10mm socket. The rear was a royal PITA!
