New to this dropping an SUV so what is the drop in inches? Sorry for the "stupid" remark...

How's the ride after this drop? And burn rate on the tires?

No worries.

You should measure your ride height rather than drop since there are so many variables to consider. Ride height measurement is from ground to fender over the center of the wheel. That said I was around 32.25" prior, so my drop is around 2 - 2.50"

Ride is definitely stiff. A low profile tire doesn't help the cause. I actually want to raise my ride height to about 30.50-30.75" to improve the ride quality.

Couldn't comment on burn rate, however I did install camber kits to avoid excessive inner tire wear.

Got it! I do love how smooth mu current ride is so seeing it will get "harsh," I may go your route and just drop it 2" inch all around...

Changing the kidney grills is one on the easiest and cheapest mods and it makes a big impact. I went with the single slat oem ones and I love it 👍🏻

Yea I def agree. Did you do it yourself? Seems pretty straightforward, but I know some people had some trouble getting it unclipped.

Yes I installed it myself. I remember it being easy, around 30 minutes tops. There was a YouTube video that showed the clip locations which helped a lot.

It's funny that two of the more impactful mods for me were the cheapest. Changing the kidney grills and tinting the taillights 😁
