Its a superlift, with RCX crossmember brackets and shocks, and Pro Comp springs. So its my new "hybrid" lift, the only reason for the changes was because of the superlift kit not having the right drop down bracket for the 4 dr tahoe and not including the aal's.

looks like fun times ahead.
Indeed !

[JKmotorsports]

Awesome man. Can't wait to see the end result. How much more are you lifting it?

[99COOP]

yea im anxious to get it done. Its going up about 4" from where it sat before

[99COOP]

More work from the past day. Will finish up the work and the rear end this weekend. and then off to the alignment shop. That lower diff. mount tab would NOT want to line up, it took like 3 hours with a BFH just to get it in :biggun:.

Lookin' good.

I would of sprayed the frame and wheel wells while everything was off. 'Bout 5 cans of Duplicolor undercoating would of been good.

[destroyer1362]

I know wut you mean about that lower tab. I had to pull my front diff earlier this summer to fix some internals, I hope I never have to do that thing again.

What size tires are you going with after the additional lift?

O i was planning to, i even bought the paint. but i got impatient with the weather here for allowing to get work done so i skipped it. i will be doing the wheel wells though.

Im going 37's. But probably not till spring or so because i just bought my 35's in may and im out of cash. Everytime i buy something for this thing i go out and buy something else 3 months later and then i have to get rid of the old/ nearly new stuff :emotions122:

[AtomicHoe094]

[Lifted99Yukon]

[AtomicHoe094]

dang! looks sick. how much higher is the fender then before?

[BlueTahoe2001]

looks good! Time to take all that molding off now!

[99COOP]

dang! looks sick. how much higher is the fender then before?

Thanks, a tiny bit over 4 inches from before. the front ended up sitting about 7-8 inches from the stock height overall and i havent cranked the keys at all, they are hardly even threaded in, but its because they are indexed keys.

looks good! Time to take all that molding off now!

yea im debating it. But with 215,000 miles and 10 years of wear im afraid i will leave some nasty lines.

[AtomicHoe094]

damn! things beasttttt! i wanna put my truck side by said with yours.. lol

[96ProCompTahoe]

looks good!

[Bad bow tie]

Yeah it really could leave some nasty lines! Might could have them buffed out?

Also, enter those pics above into the TYF Calendar!

[96ProCompTahoe]

the lines can be buffed out, i had a few spots from pulling mine off a year or so ago. 175K, 13 years old. mine were on the silver which shows every little thing.

[99COOP]

Haha. I will meet you half way. btw hows the SC going ?

thats true. And i have been saving some good ones from the same photo shoot that i will be posting up, just waiting to decide which ones to enter :hmm:



96 procomp. how much of a pain was it to buff out the lines ?

[AtomicHoe094]

in a box above my office at the shop hiding from my parents :) Im going to wait until i get my motor,tranny, and exhaust figured out before i just slap it on. I have it for sale locally for a price, its kinda set a little high 2100 but i figured if someone wants it for that, then that would be sweet, its just with college coming i shouldnt of bought it, but im sure itll be bad ass once its on and ill be happy.. but im keeping a DL on it from the rents for now. ahhah!

[96ProCompTahoe]

mine weren't as bad as i thought they would be. came out really easy, i did have a couple little surface rust stains where the 1500 badges were, but they disappeared after a few washes.

[KatFish]

I took the molding and the chrome rocker molding off my 98 with 185,000 on it and you can realy tell it was there unless you look for it.

Also didn't pull any paint off eather

[bowtiefreak]

truck looks really good!

[99COOP]

truck looks really good!

thanks, i have gained alot of my motivation off of your truck

[bowtiefreak]

Do it all now before you get married! My wife says I love my truck moe than her....I have had the truck longer than her.

What are the fender heights?

[99COOP]

haha, you are 100 % right. the fronts are at 46.5 and the rear are 46. eventually i will get some bigger tars under there though.
