How big is this lift?

[Runatl]

Bought this Yukon last month and wondering how much is it lifting in the front/rear. Can anyone tell if its a body or Suspension and how i can get the rear up to be leveled with the front?
And new to Yukons..
Anything i need to make sure is done to it?
Anything i need to know?

Thanks!

I would say 6 inch?

You can always add rear airbags to get it perfectly level. Impossible to tell if its body or suspension without seeing underneath

Take pictures of the front underneath and rear underneath showing the suspension on both. Judging by the lack of frame showing, it is all suspension lift.

And list the tire size so we can gauge the gap in the fender. I have had my truck at 6" of lift, 7.5" lift and have it set at 10.5" right now so I have a good visual.

If those are 35" tires, that is bigger than 6".

You can also look on line to see the stock ride height then add the diff in stock tires vs current. Didn’t the PO give you any info? Might be worth a trip to a trusted shop to make sure everything is done right. I’m guessing the front is higher to clear the tires?

Fronts higher for a squatted look, not to fond of it and will lvl it out soon.

On 35's I'd say the front is around 8" +/- .5".
Back is 6". I'd measure to the center of the wheel wells on level ground and add coil spacers or reindex the torsion keys to lower the front a little. More than likely, like someone already said, the keys were indexed to stop the tires from rubbing with the wheel fully turned. I rubbed on 35's with 6" of lift but don't with 7.5".

I definitely rub in the front, I'll have to bring the back up to lvl out

You can compare the body line down your door for yourself to determine the size of your lift. I'm on 315/70/17s which translates to a 34.5" tire.

To me, you have a larger gap between your front tire and fender than I do on 7.5". Your rear tire to fender ratio looks very similar to my truck at 6".

6" lift

7.5" lift

At 7.5", I still had slight tire rub on full turns. Results will vary on wheel spacing and tire width. I had to trim the valance, "gut" the Z71 plastics behind the front wheels and shave down a small 1" section of my inner wheel well.

Here is the pics i shot while running into work.

IMO its a 6" kit with aftermarket keys cranked to clear the 35s. Can either decrank or add a rear coil spacer to lift the rear level to the front.

Looks like the inner fender has been trimmed or eaten up by the tires. Do they still rub on hard right turns? If you’re going to keep the lift spacers sound like the easiest route. Show some pictures of rear setup and may want to check your pinion angle for peace of mind.

So i was wondering why it handled strange going around turns...
