did a spacer lift on my 07 yukon xl; what's easiest/cheapest...?


I have searched; not found any and figured I ask before I fab/weld a set up...

(I read sticky; rods adjusted of course.)


And before you tell me I don't need them, I'll say I want them; the only way it's going to work like 'factory' is to add extension to compliment 1" rear coil spacers...

please explain what that means when I am asking for rear shock extension?



to NOT compensate for the rear 1" coil spacer would be 'mickey mouse'

No you should run a proper length shock! And not an extender which is Mickey Mouse.

you realize that there are no substitute for OE while retaining air ride, right?

Never mind the fact doing away with the air ride is like going backwards (to me)
Lastly is the cost factor...no need to spend big $$$-- it's a spacer lift, lol

It's hardly 'mickey mouse' to fab/weld a simple bracket an inch closer eye-to-eye; I have built several tube chassis buggy/crawlers...so we'll have to disagree.


Additionally, I was not asking for 'opinions'; I am trying to locate a PART.



back to the original topic:

Anyone else has a source to purchase or am I just going to have to make a set ?

Seems like everything commercially available either switches mount 90 degrees or add more than an inch...

Rough country has one for their 3.5 kit but not sure exact hole to hole extension length. It's either 1" or 2".

It's only an inch and there's not much side-load at all. Break out some scrap metal and your welder and you'll have what you need in 2-3 hours.

I see where you are coming from, I would be doing the same thing. but its a forum so you are going to either have folks working against you or just straight up ragging you. There are other forums I won't even post on anymore... you should get a load of those A-holes. Anyway, best to just ignore those opinions/suggestions not applicable and only address those in your wheel house.

As for shock ext, no problems finding 2" version but cannot be modified due to design. you will have to fab something custom. I will post a link for you if I come across the 1" units. But if you can't find it on eBay, most likely doesn't exist on a manufacturing level.
