CCM Kit Installation LTZ

[rocketman76]

I just did it on my Yukon XL AWD. I made sure my axle joints were not binding before jacking the lower A arm up, just below strut . Once the strut stopped compressing I placed a 4' pry bar across the upper A arm and had to lean my body on the pry bar while starting the ball joint nut. By the way, I believe I need a bigger spacers in the rear. The Yukon is not level at all, can I use a 2" spacer?

I bought a separate 1.5'' spacer for rear instead of using the 1'' from ccm. If it's an LTZ, you may have to mod the sensor rod for the auto leveling. Not sure how much retractable space is left on the stock shock if you place a 2''.

Not sure if driving around made any difference but i was still 1.5 higher in the rear, so i could have actually gone without the spacer but it looks fine, darn roof rack almost caught the garage door with 285/70/17 added.

^^^Do you have an LTZ Thomas? The LTZ's sit lower in the rear then LS/LT versions. I have an LTZ and it sat lower in the rear after the 2.5" leveling kit up front so I installed 1.5" rear spacers and now it's perfectly leveled.

I replaced my Autoride shocks and struts with Bilstein 4600s. Since the, the Yukon has been high up front stock, lowered and leveled. Anyone interested in some 2 month old Bilsteins? I might just go with Pedders all around.

Where did you get the 1.5" spacers? I just installed the ccm 2.5/1 on our ltz and it looks awful. Sits about 1.5" lower in rear with the spacer that came with the kit.

Yep that's why I didn't go with the ccm since I have an LTZ. I got my rear 1.5 spacers from eBay.

Here is the $68 1.5" rear kit I used with the Truxxx 2.5" front spacers.

It comes with the spring spacer pucks and shock extenders to keep rear shocks in normal position... someone with more knowledge will have to comment on how these extensions work with LTZ autoride, but keeps great factory ride on my Z71

Did you have more than .5" difference and it corrected it?

Right now I'm showing 8" between tire and fender on both fronts and 6.5" in rear. Even with a 1.5" puck ill still have an inch difference
