That got be about a 1-2 drop for now. Waiting for my shackles to come and have new keys to throw in. I should be at a 2-4 drop when done, maybe go lower later on when i get some more $$$

Just FYI:

All 2002-2006 1500 or 2500 Avalanches torsion bar front suspension. The 1500's have coils on the rear. The 2500's have leafs on the rear.

For 2007-08 the 2500 has been discontinued and the 1500's have coils on all 4 corners.

have to look for the part #'s for the front due to the change in lower control arm shock mount rear are just stock replacement.I matched the front 3 digit code to the rear for the proper feel all around.I will get back to you.
