Not much of an Update: My Z71 springs I ordered ended up being regular suburban springs, so I sent them back. Haven't gotten around to ordering new ones yet. I did take the running boards off and have as set of 1.5" spacers on their way to move the wheels out a little... Hate how tucked in the back wheels are. I'll post pics once I get them on and get the Yukon all cleaned up.

Bummer. There is definitely a significant difference between z71 and 4x2 springs

Got the spacers installed on Saturday... Still not 100% if I like them or not. Still need to get some Z71 springs under the back to bring it up a little. And I know I'm missing a fog lamp... but I am undecided on what I want to put in place of the factory fogs as they are pretty terrible and I never used them. Debating on a couple of 6" LED bars.

Here are the only two pics I have right now. Been crappy out, so no outside pics.

6" led bars could work. I have round LED's in my round denali fog holes. Cheap and flood a lot of light. Blinding to other drivers so I only use them with my brights.

Thank you! I know I know, I am procrastinating. Kind of waiting for the weather to be better before I get back under the Yukon.
Oh cmon already! its 70+ degrees here all week. The hardest part of spring replacement is removing the wheels. You can do it. I believe in you.

Thanks for the encouragement! Lol it was 13 degrees here today and snowing. I need to get the lead out and just do it, but I just haven't had the motivation yet. I'll get it done soon though. I promise!
