If your Avalanche is lowered could you please post some pictures and state what you have on it.  Coils, Springs, Torsion adj, etc.  Also tell what brand you're using.  It doesn't matter how low it is.  Even if only the rear is lowered to level the truck.  This is a mod that I've been considering for a long time but just can't make up my mind as to what I want. 
 
2"Belltech lowering spindles and 2" lowering keys in the front. 5"DJM drop springs in the rear.

thx.  but if i had to be followed by anyone, I'd want it to be by you.  :love:  That 07 is coming along nice.  Hope to see it again in person soon.
 
Here is the way mine sets now. I won a BellTech lowering kit at MCM and ordered the 3-5 drop. It was a little low for my taller than stock tires so I had to crank the front up a little and put a 1" Belltech cup spacer under the rear springs. I am guessing it is a 2-4 drop now. I also added a DJM rear hardware kit and it rides great.

Looks good with just the rear dropped.  I did the same thing with my 03 Silverado and it made a noticeable difference.
