What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[89Suburban]

Used to be very common on this forum back in the day. @89Suburban is doing his party to Make TYF Great Again. We're making MTGA hats as I type. Should up for sale soon.

I can't believe the difference in the handling and ride of these things lowered holy crap I LOVE IT. Especially the rear it just floats down the road, used to beat the hell out of me. Much easier to maneuver in tight areas. Totally different truck. Looks great. They should make it like this from factory. LOVE IT!

I fixed my sagging dash which also clanked when the speaker hit something internal. Not elegant but it works! And no squeaks! I used one of those foam speaker baffles and added some foam on the bottom with tesa tape. With speaker supported on the foam, the screws pull the dassh up into position. That is an aftermarket Kicker speaker.

I did 2” front and back.

It didn't register until just now. And we even discussed the lower strut bolts. *facepalm*

Did you just bolt it flat to the underside or space it down? The Rough Country kit came with spacers with the bolts to make it a 2" drop. Without the spacers, it'll be less than 2". @kbuskill might have more info on this.

 

[iamdub]

Agreed. That group has never been real active in the tinkering of their rigs from the very get go for some reason.

Cuz they can't stay outta the GM service bay long enough.

So if I wanted to lift the front only 2" what all would have to be done? Just a spacer on one of the ends of the strut and the rods for the level sensors changed out to longer ones?

Si. Cheap and quick.

Take your pick of any billet spacer kit on Amazon. There are poly (Delrin?) versions that are probably just fine. But I prefer metal. Some come with cheesy bolts, but you can grab some grade 8 hardware from the store. While you're there, grab some stainless 10-24 allthread rod or long 10-24 stainless screws and cut the heads off to make your longer sensor rods.

So those would just act as a spacer on the lower control arm where the strut mounts? Would the sway bar end links be effected?

There's certainly a reason I only had mine for about 13 minutes

Just flat to the underside. And the rear cheapie drop kit from ebay is worth every cent it rides awesome.

Waitaminutehere, do you mean to say NNBS owners actually DO stuff with your rigs?

Hey just a casual update in my build thread about adding some suspension components and a mild drop to the NNBS long body.

VERY minimally. Not enough to notice or worry with. But, if it bothers you, I'm quite sure there are some stock replacements that would be ideal. Maybe stock ones for a Z71.

Did you happen to measure yours before and after? According to your pic with it backed up to the trailer tongue, it looks more like a 3" rear drop. What shocks you have?

No I did not measure. I usually leave the coupler about an inch off the ball when I drop the trailer. The shocks are just plain factory style with the drop brackets, nothing fancy.

I gotta say I been practicing planning for this so I haven't smacked my head on the tailgate yet.
