I have 3/4 drop on my 07 Avalanche w/o autoride.
I have belltech drop springs and lowered shocks in rear. I did the free travel mod as well. I bottom out at times..but don't think I'm hitting the metal from the free travel mod.
I have a set of shock extenders I haven't installed. .. Should I?
I also replacing the current Belltech shocks with the stiffer version.
Suggestions. .. help??
Thanks

 

With that size drop you need extenders and shorter shocks. I would recommend the Street Performance shocks

 

Those are the shocks I have to replace the one on there now.
So the bottoming out is the shocks bottoming out you think?
The Street performance shocks won't affect ride height will it?
Thanks.

 

Not having the correct part number would cause this and not using the extenders would also cause this.

The shocks do not play a role in your ride height.

 

I miss being low, my 99 2dr had a 5/7. Now, I have an 07 PPV, they come with a 2" drop. Tires are 275/60/17.
I have a 5" gap up front and a 6" gap out back. I would like to close that up without sacrificing ride quality, it handles well for a 5300lb+ vehicle.

What are your thoughts?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

 

I am not too familiar with the PPV model. Do you know which components these models come with the achieve the 2" of drop?

 

Don't quote me on this, hah but from the research I've done, they used Pedders Suspension system.

Seems like it is only a front 2" spring?

 

I believe its both front and rear 2" drop coils.

 

You could swap the rear coils for 4" springs and add a lowering strut to the front.

$130 for springs that includes shock extenders and front struts $190.
