Default Tahoe 2" springs

I bought a set of springs off a member here that were listed as nnbs lowering springs now that they've showed up they say "mcgauphy 07tahoe" on them and am wondering if they will work on my CC silverado?

I would assume the front springs for the suv and trucks are the same

Yeah I finally found some part #'s and the Tahoe uses a single cab silverado 2" spring part #

So now my next Q is how much more of a drop will I get with my CC??

My plan was drop shackles and rear block removed out back and 2" up front

I would think still around 2" because the Tahoe front-end has to weigh every bit as much as a CC.

Listed as single cab because of similar wheelbase maybe?
