Bravada owner is cheap. Wanted the $10 cheaper ones. I might be able to get him to swing the shocks off you if the price is right (for him of course).

They are brand new. I paid $31.00 per shock and they are Belltech Drop 2 shocks.

Comments?

EDIT: He wants to go with 20's. I recommended 18's so he can still have a decent tire. Thoughts?

Sorry for the late response.. He can def do 20's without a problem. 18's are going to look so small. BTW it looks great dropped.

Thanks for the compliment. 2" doesn't seem like much but walking up to it you can definitely tell it sits lower. He has a pretty heavy box in the back so it looks like the back sits lower, but it was pretty much an even 1.75" drop all around. I still think shocks with longer travel will help out tremendously in the back but he's just not going for it.

98*Bravada* is an unknown quantity at this point

I've been looking to do the same to my Bravada which is a 98' (after I repair several problems)... and I'm looking to fit possible 19's or perhaps 18's... I don't really dig the whole 20 inch look but I'm looking to fit bigger brakes (are there big brake upgrade kits for the Bravada?) which is why I need the bigger wheels... any suggestions?

If someone could possibly find a pic of one sitting on 20's and one on 18's so I can get a comparison that would be great...

Look at my pics for what 18's look like.

By the way the bravada looks nice lowered!!

Default RE: BUMP: AWD lowering? (with pics)

sweet man thanks, judging by your pics, the 18's are the perfect size, although I'd like a 3 inch drop... and maybe a bit bigger profile tire not much maybe a 50 series or a 55 series tire... But the 3 inch drop would give me the lower center of gravity I want without going too low... Are there any 3 inch drop kits for the AWD 4 door? And another question I'm looking for a sportier ride and better handling, are there any lowering kits that'll offer that + the lowered aggressive stance I want? I've tried looking but keep coming up with Air Bag kits and I'm not really into the whole mini truckin' thing so I really want to avoid using air bags....
