Heavy Jobs With A Lowered HHR?

Can it be done? I'm a bass player and God knows we get the heaviest equipment!

but I still want to lower my HHR! I'm worried about rubbing when i load the beast down with my equipment, but I want that lowered look when its not loaded down still. Any suggestions, or should I just save up for bags?

I've got the 2nd gen Goldlines installed on Dory. With nearly 500# of landscaping supplies loaded in the back, it only brought the back down even w/ the front. No where close to rubbing.

That is when the pic in my sig was taken.

2nd gen GLs... as in front and back dropped? I'm just worried about the 2.1" rear drop i found in the GLs on truckshop.com. should i be worried about rubbing with 17's, and what about 19's?

Yes, both ends dropped. They are the kit that Truckshop offers. W/ 17s no worries about rubbing.

18's as well?

(God, I'm starting to realize I'm being quite annoying. My apologies)

I have the first generation of Goldlines and stock 17's. 2.25" drop in the back and I have to be VERY careful going over speed-bumps, steep driveways etc. and be aware of how much weight is being carried as I do hit even empty!

Depending on width and offset.

so it's best to just stick with 17's and 3rd gen GLs?

I'm just SO very worried about dragging and rubbing when I load up my HHR!
