Love it!! Seems like 35x11.5's are hard to come by. Where did you get them? Also, is that rear bumper and exhaust part of getting a 6.2 now on the Z71??

They are hard to find for sure. My local tire shop has a set put back. I’m pretty sure the 6.2 Z71 get the dual exhaust. We added it to mine.

How’d you get a lift on the 6.2 with the adaptive air ride?

'21 Yukon XL with premium smooth ride suspension, no air or magneride. Rough Country 2" front, 1" rear kit with 275/60r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on stock slt rims

This looks so clean, very well done. How's the clearance? Think you could have snuck the 275/65s in?

That's funny I never actually checked the clearance with these new tires. Just did and I do not think the larger tire would fit without rubbing. As is at full lock there is maybe 5/8" gap between the tire and liner. I can fit my index finger in there but that's about it. I was fine with removing brackets and using zipties to hold back the liner on the '11 burb but this just wasn't going to fly on the '21, whether anybody knows it was done or not

Welp…a 5/8” gap would indicate roughly a 1” taller tire could possibly fit, if its the same width (which is a 275/65/20).

Yes I think they would fit but if it ends up with maybe say an 1/8" gap they would surely rub if you hit any kind of bump or anything while turning.

Not necessarily. But yes, will certainly be close for sure, if they do fit.

Anyone have an answer for this?
@Z71-HOE

They doing lifts with adaptive air ride now?

Seems the 6.2 is only available with air ride and he got the lift installed.

Or did he add aftermarket dual exhaust?

If so, does someone have a link to that, looks sweet.

Read his post. He does not have AAR suspension.

Installed a dual exhaust on his 5.3L

I’ve chatted with him a number of times on Instagram, he has the 5.3 and added the dual exhaust and proper fascia. Sounds like the parts swap is t the easiest as it involves drilling out a few rivets etc.

If memory serves, there’s someone else on these forums that has done the same.

Such a great look.

It does look great.

I was misreading it as he got the 6.2 lifted.

I did. Didn’t see/recall where he said he didn’t have AR. Explained my confusion in my post and asked for clarification.

I think you could lift the Air Ride with a level or lift kit up to 2-1/2” and use the EdgyMods links to “fool” the height sensors.

I just used the EdgyMods links themselves to level the truck. High quality and work great.

Having the 6.2 does not mean the vehicle has air suspension. There are several lift kits that work with the 6.2 motor.

Anytime I've selected the 6.2L motor on the configurator it automatically selects the Off Road Performance Package and Z71 Capability package...?

Thanks! Looks like Chevy.com is only showing 6.2 with AAR for the 22 Z71.


EDIT: the 22 High Country does show available in 6.2 without AAR.
