I've looked all over for 17's in a bigger height, but can't find any! They're all made for car sizes... The only option is to go to a 18, which is fine with me! It looks like I'm gonna end up going with the soft 8's and widening the rears 2 or 2 1/2 inches! Gonna look sick! I'm gonna check that company out on the widening thing

I heard back from weldcraft. They are not able to widen the factory wheels.
Mot sure if they'd be able to widen the soft 8s either. I'll have to send them a picture of there lip.

Yeah.... I'm pretty sure it's because the face of the wheel wraps around the front lip of the rim... I had another shop tell me that's why they couldn't do it. Sucks, cuz I really like the look of the factory steel wheels!

Man that's a sweet PPV Tahoe you have! Definately need to get it lowered though! After you mentioned going with the 5" drop coils in the rear, I think I'm gonna order a set! Sometimes when I look at it I think it needs it! Plus I can always take a ring out in the front struts if the rear sets too low..... But I'm thinking it'll look perfect with the 5" coils instead of the 4 in the rear!

You got it. I agree, would look killer with some wide factory wheels

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I agree and its killin me to drivin around lookin like a 4x4.

Did you have to relocate your upper links or get shock extenders for the rear?

Who have you been getting your parts from?

I used the shock extenders for the rear... And almost all my parts I got from the suspension source, they're site sponsors and usually have great deals! Free shipping on everything I ordered and an additional 10% off for PT.NET members. Sometimes they'll have blemished stuff for cheaper, but carries the same warranty. I always talk to Kristin over there... Cool chick

Very cool. I'll look into them.
Thanks again

One last question.
Did you have any alignment issues?
Did you buy the alignment kit if so?

Thanks

Hey Jordan,

I keep coming back to see your dropped hoe.

Have you stuck with the 4" coils out back or did you end up going lower?

I have the struts, shock extenders, rear djm kit and am waiting on some 6" drop coils for out back.
My goal is for a 4/6 drop

I haven't messed with the suspension any more, I've still got the 4" coils in the rear. I'm gonna buy some 5" at some point.. I just got all my wheel specs figured out today and ordered some soft 8's. I just ordered the two rears since they're a off the shelf spec 17x9 with 5" of back spacing a zero mm offset, the fronts are going to be 17x8 with right at 5.97" of back spacing. The fronts won't move at all from the stock look, just adding a 1/2" to the backside of the wheel, but the rears are going to be pushed out 1 1/2". The rears kinda set in more than the fronts from the factory, I just want it to look more even. I'll be test fitting the rears this week
