I want to lower my wifes 2008 Yukon but want to see how it will look lowered on factory 20's before I do so.

As I read a 2/3 drop is the safest way to go without problems. Not sure if it's enough for me but it may be just right for her.

Pics would be greatly appreciated

I am not sure I understand your question.
Sorry! I have an 07 Nali XL and I wanna lower her, shes AWD and I cant find drop springs that work with auto ride? Air ride? One of them. So I have found for me to lower I have to remove air compressor and air shocks. That's not a problem. Problem is if I do remove stock suspension the computer or dash prompt wont clear. Anyway sorry first day here.

Ah, I did not have factory air suspension and that is an aftermarket air suspension.

It's Z55 Autoride. I dont thinks aftermarket because when its unplugged the dash reads " service auto ride" . I have looked every place to find a lowered XL . no go! all still have the stock Z55. Then today I saw yours and I like its look!

Hahaha. Sorry. So do you have that message on the display? Any info help.
I did not since I didn't have it factory but I have heard of using resistors to trick the factory stuff and there may be a module available but can't remember for sure.

Hahaha. He misses the Nali!

You can lower and keep the auto level air ride functional. Just depends on how low you want to go. My Burb is 4/6 and my auto leveling still works. I just used shorter air shocks out back and resistors to keep lights off on dash.

Also on factory 20's...

How do you use the Z55 auto ride to keep message from popping up?
