What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Rocket Man]

Replied to wrong post but y'all were talkin about it. I went the other direction with my hoe 10inches of lift on 37's. We play hard off the asphalt. Came down a lil too ******* my left front and customized my bump mount.

Oh. Did you add something to your LCA's so your jounce stops still make contact? Most guys who are lifted add something there so the jounce stops still function normally. If there's a big gap between your LCA's and the jounce stops that's not good.

Back to the jounce stops, what holds them in is there a bolt inside or what

Nope, they're just kind of pushed in. Use a flat head screw driverdriver or a small thin prybar and pop out the old ones. To install, just clean out some of the loose debris, if there's any, lube the top of the new one and twist, turn, pop in the new one. You're done. You might have to Jack up the front a little bit, just to make a little room between the lca and the bump/jounce stop.

Yeah my RCX lift came with 6in brackets that bolt into place on the lca's

I thought you said you have 10" of lift though? I was wondering since I see all that space under your jounce stop in the picture.

That's including a 3in body lift and some 3in RC keys that I only cranked up an inch. The bracket is just out of frame in that pic. There's approx. an inch gap between the jounce bumper and bracket in the passenger side. The only way I can think to fix my driver side is to cut it off and weld a new one in its place.

They're designed to be in contact with no gap. Probably ride a lot better if you can fix that but that might be a challenge with that much lift lol.

Not to totally get off the jounce stops, cause I know it's a big one with us all lately, but today I pulled and painted rear speaker grilles...

Nice, did you pull your panels off to do them ?
I plan to do mine gloss black

 

[02_Tahoe]

I posted a write up about color matching under the exterior part of the forum. Maybe is shoulve posted it in general discussion but it can be moved if someone thinks it should be

 

[MadDogDelpho]

I think exterior section sounds like the right place for that.

Yeah, you gotta pull them. Took about 2 minutes a piece. No big. Thought about black, too. Decided to try the brushed look since I had it around, and I really like it. Pictures don't quite do it justice. Will update when I do the fronts.

Since you're lowered now your swaybars aren't parallel to the ground (so they're not working right) unless you changed your endlinks. For the front you can go to Energy Suspensions website and look in their catalog under universal endlinks and it has instructions on how to measure and get the p/n's then you can order them on EBay or wherever. Sometimes your local auto parts will have them but you need the right length. In the rear, if you shorten them you'll have clearance issues with the panhard bar mount . Tony @NorCal sells DJM ones for the rear that solve that issue. Fronts are like $15, rear about $40 IIRC. Sorry to help you spend more $$ but if you don't change end links your swaybars aren't working very good, and you'll definitely notice the difference if you get them dialed in.

What's the best way to swap those out? Do it in the air on a lift, then lower it and they're good, or do I need to do them on the ground, with the vehicle weight pushing everything down. I hope I'm explaining correctly.

To measure the fronts you need to have it on the ground so you can see how much shorter they need to be. But to replace any of them it needs to be on a lift or jackstands.

Installed new brake rotors/pads and shocks. The ride is much better and it stops much sooner!
