Pictures of 3 Yukon’s...Vote For Your Favorite!

[Jason in DLH]

Use the poll to vote for the Yukon you’d prefer to drive. I’ll be interested to see what everyone chooses!

A:

B:

C:

 

[Tonyrodz]

For me it's a toss up between B and C. I do like them both. Trying to decide what way you wanna go with yours?

 

[wjburken]

I would have to go with #3, with #1 being my second choice.

Yeah...I think my head is going to explode trying to decide which route to go! Haha! I just realized if I take the roof rack off and take my suspension spacers out I can go with a 6” lift and 33’s (which is the same as C) and still fit it in the garage. I’m really digging B as well (although wouldn’t go that low to keep the install simple).

And, of course, it’s interesting to see everyone’s opinion here.

Based on your user name, I’m guessing you live in Duluth. Have a good friend that lives up there. Have other friends spread around Minnesota. Lots of snow. Low ground clearance can be an issue with lots of snow.

Yes sir..I used our Airport code since there’s also a Duluth, GA as well.
Living on the tip of the largest lake in the world certainly has it benefits as it’s very beautiful and I bet your friend really enjoys it. I’ve moved away twice but always came back missing the lake (and family and friends of course!).

The snow...That’s one of the reasons I would like to lift it further, but the city does a such great job clearing the roads that even those small AWD cars can easily get around for the most part. I think I might want to take it out on the trails though.

A if I have kids and want reliable
B if it a 2wd but not that low cause ride quality will suck
C if it's a 4x4 but not a drop bracket lift because they are cheesy and I'm lactose intolerant.

Yeah - My friend works at Cirrus Aircraft and does love it up there. He is a very big outdoors person and loves the Duluth area and the opportunities for outdoor activities. He said it took a little getting used to having bears show up in his yard though.

Hopefully when this COVID crap settles down, we can make the trip to go visit them again. It's been about 5 years since we've been up there. Had a niece in Little Falls for a while. She just moved to NC where her husband is from originally. He got tired of having snow piles higher than their kitchen windows.

What lift do you recommend for 2007 Yukon without autoride? I do plan on taking it off road, so articulation would be nice. Max lift height I can go is 6” with 33” tires. Would you piece together your own suspension parts or go with a complete kit?

Fun to see the Cirrus jets fly around. Seems like a good company to work for. And yeah...I’ve had to shoo the bear away from our garage before. In fact...it climbed our neighbors deck to get to bird seed!

I don't know a ton about the NNBS trucks but a basic mid-travel setup is a good go-to for under 4" of lift. Mid travel typically consists of a better designed UCA built to keep alignments in spec still. Then a good quality coilover or lift strut, it doesn't have to be King or Fox. I just did this exact setup on my Tacoma and used Bilstein 5100 struts with a lift spring specced to give 3" of lift but ride better than stock and coupled with a Camburg UCA it has way more down travel.

Just find a decent UCA and then coilovers of your choice.
Atomic fab and performance has a coilover swap kit for the NNBS trucks so that would be my suggestion on coilovers.

The rear is typically pretty easy on these trucks, a taller coil spring or spacer and longer shocks of your choice.

All this might require longer brake lines which are always a good idea and of course an alignment.

Heres a nice UCA from Cognito https://cognitomotorsports.com/cogn...-arm-kit-for-07-18-silverado/sierra-1500.html

C for me
Just got some property this year, found out that the bumper lip kinda drags getting out to it.
Took it off while i was doing the oil pump and dod delete.
It's still off and staying that way for now.

I need like a 2-4in lift...
but i like the hoe rides stock (fancy comfort option).
I can haul ass on that dirt road, smooth as "insert something creepy/funny here"

Worried that if i do a full lift, it will ride like my S10 (ZR2) Blazer...
(harsh)

Yeah, the Duluth Trading Company seems to have quite a good following with good products. Duluth Pack has some really nice stuff too.

Nice! I find it neat that people all over the country have heard of this little shop in our city and have stuff from them! They have really good marketing!

Well folks...it appears the lifted Yukon is winning the polls. I promise the voting system hasn’t been rigged (unlike some claims made by certain Presidential people ).

There's a Duluth shop in Ramsey NJ.

And let's not forget that band from Duluth - Trampled by Turtles. One of my all time faves!
