How to Lower 4WD or 2WD Tahoe Yukon Escalade Project Lo-hoe

[@JerseyFrank007]

I've watched this video like 587 times. Going to slam my Yukon Denali tmrw. You deserve great praise for enlightening fellow gearheads with honest step by step information. This is an honest channel with honest content. Bravo.

Thank you. It's great to hear positive feedback.

[@joshbrake84]

I’m watching this video again. @TWA Motorsports I absolutely love the detail you go into your videos. It gives me the confidence enough that I can do this too. The trucks of this same year range I’m not confident on doing though

Lowered the Escalade yesterday and part of today. Every part in your description was on point. I had to drill the front strut bracket hole a bit bigger and cut off the bottom of the lower ball joint. Other than that it fit on perfectly with a little elbow grease. Must have watched this video about 80 times to remember all the steps. Thanks again man! Video really helped!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Yeah it always seems like you have to do a few extra things each time.

[@monkeyearcheese420]

19:34 are belltech castings always ruff like that ? I've never used their stuff just wondering

[@TWAMotorsports]

It's not that rough. Way nicer than the factory parts.

[@TheGolfShoeGuru]

Looks awesome man,thanks for taking the time to share this with us!!!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you

[@ChiefKandiyohi]

I noticed that the parts you're using come from different manufacturers. I see that DJM sell "complete kits". What made you decided on using Belltech springs instead of the ones available from DJM? Also, Maxtrax and Belltech kits don't require the control arm and sway bar to be relocated (they only have shock extenders). Is this a necessary step that yields better control/ride? Thanks in advance.

[@TWAMotorsports]

All the parts I use give the best ride. Belltech doesn't make the rear hardware kits but i choose what has worked best and i have tried several options

Finally started mine tonight literally watching the video as I go 😂

Hey I see all your videos I have 2004 Yukon lowered and it was hitting hard in the rear when I got a bump I replaced the shocks and put new bump stops but now it's just sitting on the bump stops doni need to cut the metal plate or my springs are bad cause before the the new bump stops the rear had no tension on springs or shock it would move alot

And now it sits higher on the rear

You need to do the free travel mod. I made a video on that aswell.

Looks SUPER good. How is the ride? Quick question - what size are the stock wheels and tires on that thing? I have a set of 22's with 285/35-22's from a 2001 tahoe that finally needs to be put to death, and this is what I'm looking to do. Just want to make sure the shoes aren't too big/small for the foot. THanks!

[@TWAMotorsports]

It rides pretty good. Stock tire size was 275/55-20. Rubbed a little lock to lock.

[@wixman666]

@@TWAMotorsports thanks.. so the 285/35-22 tires are 2" smaller so the entire body and suspension would be 1" lower roughly. Do you think that'd be too low? Like curbs, speed bumps and parking stops a problem? I have a 1996 silverado with a 4/6 (5/7ish) and they are problematic lol. Rather not have the wife's family tahoe be an issue (she's 5'0" as well... lower is better in trucks AND women)!

[@TWAMotorsports]

04 will not be exactly like this but still not bad. You can do 4 in the rear without cutting the bump stop it just won't ride as good.

Hey Travis, did you reused the 18mm nut/washer from the top, or use the nut that came with the new struts?? Just curious, cause the Belltech struts I got, the middle threaded shaft is smaller in diameter than the original ones, so am I suppose to use that 18mm as a washer under the provided nut??

[@user-fq7tv2lo6e]

Great video and instructions, much appreciated. I have a 2008 4x4 Avalanche with autoride and don't like how the front is higher than the back. To keep things manageable (have not done much work on cars) would be happy to just drop front. Do I understand it right that I could keep everything stock (autoride) just by using a drop spindle? And would it be better in my case to use 2509 instead of 2511 spindle you used? Thanks..

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Yes you need the 2509 spindle which is for a 2" only drop. No can also keep autoride but may have to shorten the rod on the sensor.

I replaced my magnaride leaky stock shocks with Arnott SK-2954 strut for the front and AS m-2700 for the rear along with a bypass resistor. My question is if I lower it can I still use my new shocks or do I have to replace them with the shocks you used for the kit? I’m sure those new shocks would be shorter wouldn’t they? Hopefully I can use the ones I bought. Thanks for any recommendations

Excellent video. Questions for you, if the vehicle was lowered by a previous owner, where to begin in identifying how low, what kit, etc? The ride is harsh AF so I'd like to keep the look, but make it a tad more compliant; you'd think I was on 22's with 20 series rubber...I'm not. I was thinking maybe just a shock/strut replacement but who knows if the kit was installed properly in the first place? Not sure where to begin in purchasing the proper replacement shock/struts.

On a 2/3 it is not required. You will be fine without doing that.

After you lowered it, did you get a small steering wheel shake? Just wondering cause I just got mine aligned and it didn’t fix the shake. Wondering if there’s something else wrong like the ball joints or something

did you reuse the factory springs in the front of this tahoe? Im about to order my parts for my 2008 tahoe

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yes. All parts used listed in description

[@robmigs7163]

Awesome job…did you need shorter front sway bar end links? Or kept the factory size? Ty

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. No I didn't shorten the front

[@wardkeyer1802]

Great videos! I am going to do this exact package however I have a suburban so what rear coils would you use instead of the Trailblazer springs? I am also going to keep my autoride intact. Thanks!

[@TWAMotorsports]

If keeping autoride you need a probably belltech 5305

[@wardkeyer1802]

Thanks for the response! Keep up the good work!

[@TWAMotorsports]

You're welcome. I'm sure gonna try

[@wardkeyer1802]

Another question. Since I will keep autoride how will I achieve 3 inches of drop in the front? The spindle gives 2 so I assume by shortening/adjusting the rod?

[@TWAMotorsports]

You won't get 3 in front with autoride

[@bige3510]

Question yea it might be a dumb one but how is the ride quality? I want to do this but bin holding off because this is the car we go on trips with ... also I have 24s you think this would be “too low”?

[@TWAMotorsports]

BIG E 24s will work but take a really small tire. Ride quality does suffer some but not terrible. I think this drop and 24s might be rough compared to what I have.

[@adolfocanales2681]

i have a question so when you buy the 2” lowering kit for the front is it pretty accurate to the 2” ?

[@TWAMotorsports]

It is generally within 1/4" of advertised

[@juantabarez1300]

do you know if i can get just the brackets them self for the lower control arms i got everything else but that is that what i need so i can sit lower? cause the back sits at 4” and i already notched out the lip on the frame

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yep

[@sergeantspeed5941]

For a couple dollars, buy some 3/8 heater hose, slide it on the coil bottom and top, and it'll lift your rear over half an inch and I guarantee it's cheaper than the spacers. Had to do it to my 3rd gen camaro which has a similar suspension setup in rear.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Sub 2 me or I'll call the cops If you watch a few other videos on my channel you will notice I also have an fbody. The pocket the spring sets in is big enough to accommodate the heater hose mod. It would not be safe on this application. I did look at that however. :)

[@wixman666]

@@TWAMotorsports Heater hose mod is not good long-term anyway. The rubber isn't intended to last in that application. Use the spacer if you need the space.

Thanks for the video! how does it hold up over time? also, how does it ride? does it feel a little stiffer, sportier than stock? I love my 2007 tahoe but sometimes feels just too bumpy, i'm used to small sports cars.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. It is a little more firm but still rides well. As for how it holds up..like stock

[@Sithpippin]

If I wanted to keep the air ride (with helper bags) what would you suggest. Just hook the air line to the bags?

No that will over inflate.

[@thomasvasi8435]

TWA.... Love your work man! Your videos are very thorough, and extremely helpful! Question.... Would you upgrade the factory sway bars to eliminate body roll, and enhance cornering? Thanks again for posting the great videos!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. I have never used aftermarket sway wars. I'm sure they help but I have never driven mine like that to know.

Great video! But i plan on going with bilstein (24-186940) 5100 series shock front and rear and was curious if you had a recommendation for front springs to get the same drop (plan on doing a 3/4 using the all other part numbers your using besides the shocks) thanks in advance!

Trying to lookup rear springs but belltech shows them as front springs. Did you use belltech alignment bushings?

[@TWAMotorsports]

The ones I listed in link as rear springs is the correct part. I didn't use the offset bushings because at 3" I was able to get it aligned to spec without them. If you go 4" in the front you will probably need them.

What's the top of the seat to ground height on these lowered rigs? I'm in a wheel chair at 18'' and no champ at uphill transfers.

@@Puddsbrudda I have a 1996 Silverado extra cab with a 4/6 lowering kit on 17" wheels, and I've been in a chair for 30 years. It's LOW. I quick release the chair wheels and put the whole chair in the extended cab. Transfer over is cake. Sounds like I probably have way more upper body control than you, but it's still a nice even transfer over.

[@Puddsbrudda]

@@wixman666 did you cut the seat down or go with low profile seats?

[@wixman666]

@@Puddsbrudda I did not modify the seats at all. The interior of my 95 silverado extended cab is bone stock except for the hand controls and the spinner knob. It has high back buckets with the adjustible headrests. My chair is a quickie GPV with quick release wheels and a rigid frame. The passenger's seat has a lever on the side about halfway up that makes it slide all the way forward to allow passenger access to the rear seat. You hit that, and then put the wheels inside leaning against the back of the passenger's seat with the axles facing each other so the fat buttons don't get tangled in the spokes. Then you grab the frame flip down the back of it, lay the driver's seat back as far as it will go, pull the chair across you and set it on the seat behind the passenger next to the wheels. Then you sit the driver's seat up and drag the chair behind you, then move the wheels against the back seat (they are on the floor still standing upright) and push the passenger chair back til it locks. It sounds complicated, but it takes all of about 30 seconds once you get used to it.

I recently ordered the djm lower control arm relocation and sway bar links kit after seeing your video . I’ve been getting a lot of swaying in the back when I go speeds over 50 on the freeway it’s really bad that’s why I decided to buy that djm kit to see if it fixes my problem . My question is do I need to install the shock extenders if I have those beltech drop shocks? Just trying to install the kit right so I can get rid of the swaying in the back and get my truck driving good again . If it doesn’t fix my problem I mait have to try sphoon pan hard bar .

It rides better with drop strut than spring and you have more adjustments in height.
