    Something interesting...

    Today I saw a pretty sweet Vette on the road. Every time he hit his brakes his rear red side markers and the arrows in his mirrors lit with the brake lights. Has anyone ever done this to their Hoe? Im talking about the mirrors ofcourse we dont have side markers.

    Leveling kit

    My 04 Z71 has torsion bars. I got a kit off Amazon for about $40 and 3 inch spacers for the rear for about $40. Both kits are pretty easy to install as long as the truck has not seen a lot of salt. I had to get new shocks for the rear that have a longer reach. Rancho at local parts store...

    Noise

    Pull over, turn off the engine, sit real still. Boom! Noise is gone. Problem solved... (drops mic and walks away with a slight pimp strut).

    my 2004 yukon xl is needing a new stance

    If your asking me then I did keys and spacers. I already have Z71 springs as she is a Z71.

    Cabin filter for my 04 Z.

    Anybody found a kit or figured out how to add a cabin air filter to their 03 04 Hoe?

    Noise

    Rotate your tires and see if the noise moved or goes away. Then you know if it's the tire. Anything mass produced will have a bad apple every now and then. If it's your tire and they are new then take it back. They should replace it.

    Keys and blocks.

    I've had 2 trucks with body lifts and my major beef is the bumpers have to be moved with brackets. They loose their integrity. Also unless you have the skirts you see a 3 inch gap in the wheel wells. And lastly the frame now hangs down 3 inches and is more visible. I'd just spend the extra...

    Keys and blocks.

    If you go more than 3 you will need a decent kit for the front. Cv axles can't handle more than 3.

    my 2004 yukon xl is needing a new stance

    I put 3 inch coil spring spacers on mine. You can also get z71 coils.

    Here we go...

    My underside still looked brand new. Guessing it never has seen salt. I pre oiled everything with trusty WD40 but it all just fell apart. Esp the keys. Loos as a goose.

    what serious upgrade would you do first?

    ) I had no idea you were going with a turbo. In that aspect I don't know much because I have never gone that route before. Not sure how a spacer helps even then as most engines are ported file injection and the feel doesn't mix with air until right at the cylinder. In which case the spacer...

    Show off your interior lighting mods

    To be honest I have been in my back seat once to watch a movie while waiting for an inferior vehicle to catch up to me while on a road trip in an ice storm. Funny I didn't know the middle row seats reclined until then.

    what serious upgrade would you do first?

    I just had my muffler cut out and a straight pipe welded in. IMO it sounds good and I have had many compliments on it. It cost $20. It's loud but I can't hear it inside at all. (Turns radio down) Oh wait now I can.

    How long did it take to settle? I've driven about a hundred miles. Haven't really looked at her today.

    Here we go...

    Dude! What year is your Hoe? I stalked your pics and I'm digging on the lone star flag. We have the same Ranch Hand and light bar and I also have Zombie Outbreak Response Team badges. The ones on either side windows are custom reflective. Good to know there are other Hoes out there on my...

    Here we go...

    I plan on going higher in the front but that was all we could do for now and keep a decent reading for camber. Upper control arms and shocks should do the trick.

    what serious upgrade would you do first?

    Throttle body spacers are a waste of money. They don't do anything on a fuel injected motor. Also most cold air intakes are crap too. Get an Airaid Jr, High flow filter and exhaust. For starters. Then a tune. If you have some cash get a cam before you tune. That setup will really wake up...

    my 2004 yukon xl is needing a new stance

    3 inches front and back. Did not go too high in the front until I get upper control arms and shocks. But I like the way it looks. Always in progress...
