If you get an alignment afterward it shouldnt make any difference.

I always counted mine from stock 2wd height.

Front is 2 inches higher on a 4wd as well. They dont sit with 4 inches of rake stock.

What about my tahoe? It is Z71 decranked up front(2.5 inches) and the rear will be bagged to ride level(about 4.5 inches) I will call it a 2/4 or 3/6 once I am done.

Will some of you call it factory height?

Your going to take your block out and do a shackle?

Run it like that for a while and if you want it lower put the stock shackle back in and do a flip kit. IMO

Doing hangers is a pain in the ***. And then when you realize its still not low its an even bigger pain in the *** putting the stock hanger back on to do the flip kit.

Its a tahoe. Pretty sure they all sit the same height stock.

Yea that's the plan, for now anyway.. I love the stance of 05gmcsierra's truck, I wanna get mine to sit like that but I don't have the extra funds for a flip kit or hangers right now, any idea what it would look like just without the hangers, I can't seem to find pics anywhere
