Chewy Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Nice! Here in snow states you don't want to see them that low unless they're garage queens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tundra5-0 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'm using 4" DJM drop arms on the front. Make sure you use a good synthetic grease or the bushing will squeak in no time. Other than that I love mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterp199 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I agree Chris. That low and the whole front Fascia would be ripped off in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tundra5-0 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Go low or go home. I could afford to bag my Tundra I would! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I love mine. Yea, already on the agenda for saturdays install. Well aware of it since I used DJM to drop the TBSS... gonna drill/tap/install zerk fittings on any of the bushings that don't already have them like I did the last time around.

Marylander Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Sweet. That's going to set it down nicely. Is your Avalanche 4WD or rear drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2hill Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 That will look much better Dylan. (After reading the title I thought this was going to be new baby pictures! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Sweet. That's going to set it down nicely. Is your Avalanche 4WD or rear drive? RWD... I purposely ordered a 2WD LT2 so I could lower it more. The LTZ (which had some of the better options) comes standard with the rear air assist and completely limits the amount of suspension work you can do. Though its taken almost a year I had plans for this truck from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyGo Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Nothing wrong with having a plan of attack. I only buy vehicles that I can do stuff to. Don't sweat it being a year already, you've already changed some stuff to make it your own. Can't always do everything immediately. It will look really good with that new stance!!

Chris@Adams Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 How much drop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Dylan.. how did you deal with the rear on the SS? Moved the air assist sensor bracket... pretty easy to do on the TBSS, all you need is a 10mm socket on an extension and a tape measure to make sure you get the rear fender gaps even. Once you know what you're looking at it takes less than 10 minutes to complete the whole drop on the rear... you can do it with the wheels on! If you ever need help on it LMK... I can walk you thru it. You make me miss mini truckin'! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk C'mon now... I know you miss mini truckin' already, you didn't need me to make you miss it How much drop? a little over 3" in the front, 5.5" in the rear... at least thats what it should be. In my experience they always settle out a little lower than anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMADreamer Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Very cool. I love a lowered truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE Mook Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Dylan.. how did you deal with the rear on the SS? Are you looking for just the bag adjustment...that by itself makes your ride suffer. While you're at it, get some new rear shocks. Trust a Mook. I'm 30 3/8" to the lip all the way around. PM me if you need any help...I can point you in the right direction! Don't forget you may want a new rear panhard bar to help center the rear end back up also! DYLAN!!!! \ Finally man! Good luck on Saturday! Remember how much a pain those things were on the SS? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Supposedly this install is easier, plus I'm rolling over to a friends house who is a field mechanic by trade and brings his truck home with him. We should have all the primo tools to get this done in a few hours (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea my 4/6 on my last silverado turned into a 6/8 when all was said and done.. and that was in 97 so it was PRE Air Ride.. lol Spark shooter! Thanks for the offer D!

And not to go off topic, but how Dylan described is how we lowered the rear of our TBSS also and it worked great. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
