Doing the exact same thing to my '06 . I will be installing shorter springs, new shocks ( all around ) , stabler link and shock drop kit . Also cranking the tortion bars down a bit ,so thanks for doing this video ,just what I needed info wise . Good photogrify by the way ,have a great day . PS - after dozens of trucks in our lives ,being seniors , we love our Avalanche ,probably the last vehicle we,ll ever need .
How did your ebrakes worked out after putting shock extenders must be really tight on the shocks i run mine in between the shocks extenders 😅 good looking truck for it's age
Wow really Impressed how you lowered your truck very professional What year is your Avalanche I love the Red Color Mine is Green with all the Gray Plastic I love the Side boxes built in top of the Box
I just bought an Avalanche and am trying to figure out if I want to come up or go down for leveling. Do you haul with those springs? How do they affect towing capacity?
@@ryanrdiythanks I have the same wheels and am about to do a drop and figured I should size down form the 275/55r20s I think it looks just right on your setup with that size
Now you need to Raise the front by like 3 Inches.... Because as soon as you put a good 400 pounds of anything in the back, guess what, all you get to see is Blue Skies, No Road.... 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Already found that out 😂 I moved a bed packed full of tile a couple weeks ago and it squatted hard. I don’t tow heavy often so not too worried but if I find it a problem, I’ll more than likely add helper bags to the rear. Thanks for watching!!
Thing is, the most appreciated thing about an Avalange ,besides the styling is the creature comforts ,ride , tool pockets along the bed , access to box from inside ,heated seats ,sun roof , in other words ,a daily driver ,not so much to be used as a full time construction hauler .So who cares about the occasional time you do haul something around ?
@@cecilsabourin9462 Nah, you didn't get it.... I was being Sarcastic.... BUT, since the Avalanche is rated at 1/2 Ton, meaning 1,000 Pounds, and IF you have one that's been ""leveled"" by lowering the Rear, I DARE you, no, I CHALLENGE you to throw a good 750 Pounds into the rear, and then count the stripes on the road in front of you.... This Challenge will NOT be accepted, because you already know why....

That avalanche looks practically new
Thank you! I try to keep it looking good
Part number on springs and shock extenders please?
I love that Red Avalanche its Sharp
Looks much Better!! guessing the ride is better as well.
Thank you! Ride is definitely better.

Do the shock extenders come with the springs?
I just bought an Avalanche and am trying to figure out if I want to come up or go down for leveling. Do you haul with those springs? How do they affect towing capacity?
planting a few pavers in a flat box in the bed probably will do it too.
Awesome video! Can’t wait to see what next coming.
Do you need an alignment after changing the rake?
I did not after lowering the rear but I recently rebuilt the front end and definitely needed to get an alignment after that
Could you put the link for the kit
What size tires are those on the honeycomb wheels?
275/55/20 all terrain tires

They are OEM 20” wheels from a Sierra
