Need pics. At stock ride height, thet should be touching the control arms. Measure your fender heights, too. Betting somebody cranked the keys.
What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Interesting the front ones are touching. Only the rear ones are not. Front fender height is 35 1/2"
Rear is 35 3/4".

The front's aren't bump stops, they're "jounce stops" and are part of the suspension. The rears are bump stops and are to cushion the axle should it ever bottom out against the frame.

Tightened the rear shocks bolts ,cause it has been making noise and wow what a difference. Got two wheels resealed cause of corrosion on the inside of the wheels. Washed it. Still have to replace the driver side master door switch , I have it but it has been too cold to install.

i've been thinking about long tubes for my burb.
but now im off to the YT & the google rabbit hole... searching for cam & forged internals
Maybe the torsion bar keys have been adjusted to raise the front.

Finished up the dual battery installation, then collected all the miscellaneous tools inside from previous repairs.

If anyone recalls my roof leak near the rear/pass vents... It's back. Sigh
Need to find a better way to plug off the holes from roof rack removal. I had some butyl rubber around there for a while and it held up until we saw a couple freeze/that cycles. If anyone has ideas I'm all ears.

Sooo... Apparently even the roof rack holes in the NBS aren't blind. Or maybe it's leaking where the nutsert meets the sheet metal?
What do you have now, removed rack and put screws back in with some butyl under them or something else?
I just put a layer of RTV under the heads of mine then screwed them back in. We don't get many freezes here and it's only been a few months, though. For my final stage of that project, I plan to use hex socket head set screws with thread sealant, screw them down so they're recessed about an 1/8" then cover them with windshield adhesive. For good measure, I'll smear a layer of the windshield adhesive around the edge of the flange of the nutsert where it meets the sheet metal. Then I'll cover the whole line of mounting holes on each side with low-profile body-colored molding. That'd be like four waterproof barriers, which is 2-3 times the factory amount.

Took my rack off and I just put the bolts back in the holes without any sealant. No leaks.

I installed - uxcell M6x16mm Stainless Steel Cone Point Hexagon Socket Grub Screws 25pcs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FYDB664/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_hJmoEb4N5KHC5
With a generous amount of loctite as a threadsealer. If I ever get a leak, my thought is to paint the inserts with touch up paint, hopefully sealing them to the body and possibly making them less noticeable.

Stainless set screws recessed in a little bit, Teflon tape, little bit of rtv for redundancy. No leaks for me.

Fixed the ABS/Park light, turned out to be the left front abs sensor harness was damaged. Replaced with a new free oem sensor no more light. Feels real good not the see the light on the dash again, feels weird at times seeing it not there.
