1. Rolling front fendor in front will not help. The tires run the on plastics on the inside, you will have enough travel.
2. You will have to cut the rear inner plastics, drive it for a week and you will see where they rub and cut them out.
3. do new shocks also if doing spring only set up.
4. Here is a picture of my old tahoe with 26's 2/3 drop.

you will need to cut the rear bumpstop bracket off the frame. now for those that want to run a little more tire i do the 2/3-4 adjustable kit here on 295 30 26 and there are no issues

ok cool big thanx for the help
i like the 2/3 drop on 26 looks good
would a 3/5 be too much and is the 295/25/26 the biggest tire i can use if so would i be running any risk or is it still good smooth sorry so many questions not use to the suv n big rims use to just build small street race stuff

The 3/5 kit requires the free travel mod. Here is a customers truck I did last week on 305 35 24 and my 3/5 custom kit

 

[DJ2XCEL]

[NORCAL SS]

in rear you will need to cut the plastic wells which is no biggie.

 

[DJ2XCEL]

Perfect thnx were can i find the free travel kit or is it in the kit you showed me and for that tire size would i bee running any risk i should know about....do u think i can still tow if i need to or would i need an air ride kit or something once again sorry for all the questions

 

[NORCAL SS]

no the free travel mod is something you will need to do in order for the kit to ride right.

if your going to do towing you can add the airlift helper bags they run $85 dollars

 

[DJ2XCEL]

Oh alright i got it and as far as airride kit how many bags do i need or how much is the system what if i want to have it even lower as when i park it ijust wanna drop it is that possible

honestly save your time/money and hassle just do a static drop with air helper bags in rear and call it good. ive been around these trucks more than enough to know if you want to bag it dont have it as a daily dont care what anyone says.

 

[DJ2XCEL]

Oh alright now im confused whats the best way then to do this

 

[NORCAL SS]

like i stated above the 3/5 kit and then you cut the rear bumpstop backets off the frame and you add in the rear air helper bags which go inside the coil springs and those are 85 dollars.

When your ready to order just call me or email me im around 24/7 as you can see by this thread

Oh alright cool thnx
