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

[iamdub]

Does this look right, measurements after drop.

DF 31 3/4
PF 32 5/8
DR 33 3/8
PR 33 5/8

I am aware of the chevy lean on these trucks, but I can't fit a fist on the driver front but I can on the passenger front. Any thoughts from you guys.

Yup. Sounds about right. I've always known NBS to have a bigger difference. As @TheAutumnWind said, adjust the torsion bar to raise the front to match. The rear will level out (left-to-right) as well. Do this after putting some miles on the new drop to ensure everything has settled.

I just use the same synthetic grease in all my chassis fittings , don’t remember the brand.

same. I think I have the "red and tacky" stuff

Looks like the attachment near the front is not in right, or broken (the yellow arrow, the one with the guide pin). Here's what it looks like on the backside. Four attachment points, one of which is around the back of the seat and that one looks like the standard clip; the others are smaller black clips. (The lines you see are molding lines, no cracks in mine.)

Thanks Sir!! I’ll have to try pulling it off another day. I went outside, to play with this:

Then, quickly realized there was a lot of dog mines out there... so I picked all that up.. then realized the lawn was pretty damn long, so..

Then, I looked up front, and saw it needed mowing as well...

First mow of the season.. get ready for more work..! And eventually, I made it back outside to play, and entertain the pup, who absolutely loves chasing this thing..! Lol. Should have got a video of that..

Appreciate your help and pointers. If work is slow tomorrow, I’ll be trying to pull it off and have a look..!

sounds about right. Adjust the torsion bars a bit.

How much fuel is in it? Full tank vs empty makes a difference

Quarter tank, torsion bolts max out on height

Be sure not to over torque those bolts, I hear they break fairly easy.

not sure if you mean maxed up or down. Either way you can adjust one of them to even out the lean.

104 inch lbs. I did 60,80,104. No breakage. Thanks though!

Nice thing was the replacement cover came with bolts. Worst case scenario I could use an old one. Thankfully did not have to.

My rockauto Cart up to $100. All I wanted was two sway bar links!!! I hear a light whistle from one of the belt pulleys so ima just order both new tensioners and a new idler pulley.

Is that the shed you built, Sam?

your lawn is looking better than mine. I just overseeded and threw down a little milorganite. Then promptly busted a sprinkler line that I am going to need to fix tomorrow....

get the sway bar bushings too. How are your belts?

Maxed up all the way, no more threads

Then adjust the passenger side down. You wanted drop, anyway, right?

Mowing already, and looking good! I need to get my mower out and make sure it's ready to go. I just can't put away the snowblower yet, we never know....

I’ve been mowing for over a month. We just got through with 2 weeks of 70-80* sunshine and even set a couple records at around 83*. Now it’s raining for a couple days so it will be growing fast this week. I don’t water my lawn (weeds).

Yessir

It’s coming in fast this year. Probably due to all the snow we’ve had this spring. And like @Fless says, not storing the snowblower for the season yet..! After Mother’s Day, I’ll run it outta gas, and change the oil. Needs a little love after a hard season lol.

I ended up freezing the damn bonnet and poppet last season as I was literally hooking up the compressor to blow them out. Pissed me off. Fixed that quick, and then found a leak in the damn vacuum breaker, so just pulled the whole thing off. Have to put in the new one before I start watering.

Fr@ck1ng sprinklers...
