96 2Door 2WD Tahoe Lowering Questions

[zukman31]

Thanks for having me in the group. I have not had a OBS Chevy since 1998. I sold all of my Mustangs and have had the itch to do a 2 Door 2WD Tahoe for a few years and purchased one today. I am wanting to do the 4/6 drop with Springs and Spindles up front and a C-Notch and Flip the rear. Is it the same as a OBS truck ? I can not find a specific kit that says for a 2 door Tahoe. Also was wondering with that drop and was wanting to do a 20x? Wheels what size can I go with and back spacing to keep it tucked in the truck and not scrub ? Would also like to know what exact size tires do you recommend for front and rear. I greatly appreciate any help that you can give....

That truck sits perfect. Thanks for the info. Is that yours ? If so what brand are the wheels. I really like those

I actually ordered the US Mags and tire combo from Custom Offset just about an hour ago. I also ordered the Belltech kit listed above and got the street shock with it. Hopefully in about 30 days everything will be here and she will be sitting a lot lower. Having my interior guy redo my 2 front seats and then having the complete Tahoe painted with a smooth frony bumper and a roll pan on the rear. Going to take all of the moldings and badges off and do the grill black to match the truck. If I can find a good deal on the GMC grill I will swap it to one with a billet inset. So excited to build this truck. Thanks for every ones inputs and help. I greatly appreciate it.
