Newb here!!

[JotaR]

Hey everyone! Chris here and I'm new to the boards. I'm 22, live in Socal (909 area) I own a '06 Caddi STS, '82 Mustang 5.0 and a 2001 Ford SVT Lightning. I had a 2000 Mustang GT on nitrous but got wrecked. Anyways, pardon my newbness lol well my mom owns a 2002 Tahoe LT 4x4 with the autoride. I want to lower it if possible. I found a few kits, but none for this model. It has 22's and I'd like to "slam" it as much as possible.

Here are a few and only pics that I have of the Tahoe. That's my caddi! Thinking of trading her in for a new Silverado/Sierra.

Nice Tahoe and Caddi, welcome!

Thank you! Not to show off my caddi, but those are the only pics I got of the chebby.

nice rides, welcome to the forum.

Nice to see another young guy into the caddies. Great looking STS.

Never been a fan of the lowered/show truck look honestly. Lifted and big tires are what I prefer...but then again, I live in Colorado, which often times necessitates 4wd and big tires (ie - we just got 5" of fresh snow on May 1st)...I suppose that if I lived in SoCal, I might feel differently . But, good luck finding the info you need here, I'm sure someone will chime in and point you in the right direction.

Thanks. The caddi is nice and all but I seriously have gotten bored with it. It ain't the best out there, but it gets some head turns. Since that pic was taken. I went and got some 2% tint all around. I want a the new silverado's or sierra bad! I love the new looks. I like lifted trucks as well, but I'd rather cruise low and slow or fast lol...I'm taken it easy now after my little accident with my mustang

I hear ya there man...crunching a car (and yourself) is never a fun experience. Kinda opens your eyes. I got into a bad one back in 2001. I agree about the new trucks, too. My dream vehicle right now is a black 08 Seirra 2500 Duramax extended cab short bed 4x4...but it costs me nearly $70 to fill the 'Yuke, and thats at $3.50 or so for mid-grade (I run 87 octane, which is mid-grade here...I'm from Ohio where 85 octane crap doesn't exist :ack. I can't even fathom how much it would be for diesel. I just cant swing a diesel right now, as much as I'd love one.

Wait, $3.50 a gallon!?!??!?!?! You got it easy out there. Here in Cali we're just shy under 4 bucks for the lowest grade. You gotta pay to play. That's why the Lightning doesn't come out as much. That bish downs it like a two dollor hoe!

 

[JotaR]

BUMP!! So any help please in finding a kit or should I just go ahead and cut the springs??????

 

[JKmotorsports]

Welcome aboard. Nice truck. Which companies have you looked into so far for lowering? Check out Mcgaughy's, Belltech, and DJM. They make good kits for both autoride and non-autoride, 2wd, 4wd, etc.

Yeah, I'm sure that we'll catch up to you guys in the PRK by this summer. Gas is bound to exceed $4/gal soon. It's been creeping up for 3 weeks now. :mad2:

From those that you mentioned. I looked into both belltechs and DJM. With the 22's now, the rear keeps adjusting every now and then, more then when it had the stock wheels. I don't want to hear that buzzing sound every damn time.

(909) I used to live in Temecula/ Murrieta for about 2 years. It's nice down there. I heard that the area codes changed to 951 right after I moved. Anyways I have no info for you, I have the regular suspension in my Yukon. But I, like Yuke2k, am in to lifted trucks. It's going up, a little, on Wednesday with some 33s. I noticed today on my way to work that gas is up to $3.71 for regular 87 octane. Good thing I only drive 4 miles each way to work. I have been thinking about getting a street bike "for the mileage" . Now is a good time to convince my Girlfriend and Mom that it is a wise decision. They would both die if I bought one.
