everything i saw said the rough country kit was basically a 4" kit stretched out and angles get pretty bad on it. and superlift is/was doing 15% all kits (ends today) and a $150 mail in rebate, so ends up being pretty cheap
my yukon also has 4.11s in it, so running a 33 or 35" should lower cruise rpm, should have enough power to turn them :oops:

Aaaaand fix the hole in the hood?
lol yea, i found a hybrid hood (aluminum) pretty local, but looking at the shape of it it seems there would be less room under it where im already hitting the stock one with the intercooler/intke i have. i looked again and it looks the same? im wondering if the tahoe hybrid hood is diff or something, not sure what im thinking

Pretty sure the hybrid hood is different from a non hybrid hood. I think it's the edge above the grill that's different.

looks more straight across the front? not as curved ?

cause this pic you can see where it dents back down after the front...mine is already touching the hood so it def wont work for me:

Sorry dude, I was thinking of the Tahoe Hybrid hood. I didn't know there was a Yukon hybrid too.

alright sooo ordered a superlift 6.5"kit for a 2015 yukon due to the aluminum control arm/spindle issue. in the instructions it gives you a breakdown of box components (kit). for the hell of if i looked up the 2007-2014 front crossmember/diff drop and took a look to see if i could just order that specific box. found it on some RV site and its was only like 215 bux lol. so i ordered that also

dropped injectors off to get repaired and cleaned - the bottom oring has a little pressed on piece that holds it, but the orings fit in the intakr so tight that a few of those pieces have popped off several times. usually i can pop them back on but had 1 break in pieces and a few others are a little loose from them going in and out so much. fuel injector clinic said they can fix it good as new for 20 an injector so i dropped them off and told them to just check them out and clean. they are pretty local to me about 15min north.

i also ordered the planetary i need to put my np149 back together no luck finding any good used ones. didnt want to risk another couple hundred bux for junk.

ummm im going to start pulling big mama turbo and hotside out in the next few days and start putting trick kit back on as much as i can without transmission - transmission I was happy to hear isnt going to be too expensive to get fixed they just busy so between me not giving a shit for the last 3 months and that, its still going to be a few days.
