    Default 3" drop on my 2007 Yukon...

    What will this entail on my end? I've looked at this Eibach Pro Kit...

    http://www.autoanything.com/suspensi...&from_search=1

    I'm not sure if this is all I'll need or not...But, for those of you who have done it...will it require a lot of mods due to my 24" wheels?

    I know there will be rub on the wheel well liners...can these simply be removed?

    Thanks!

    Perhaps this should've been posted on the aftermarket forum...

    nope, your in the right place. the wheel well liners im assuming are plastic so they can be cut out if your tires rub. even if they are metal they can be cu out also. the 24's hopefully should fit ok as long as you get the right size tires

    The tires are 305-35's...pretty much the standard, from what I understand. Also, the liners are plastic, but I'd like to leave cutting to a minimum...perhaps a heat gun and a rubber mallet?

    The other thing that you have to consider is when you lower a truck, depending on the wheel size you may not be able to turn the wheel compltely either direction. on my sliverado, i only had 18 wheel but the drop was a 4/6 and i had to go to a friend and have them do some welding on the front end. you will eat the crap out of your wheel on the back side, as when you turn the wheel all the way you are rubbing metal against the wheel and over time grinding it away. just a note, you may not have this problem.
