Front - 32.75 inches - Belltech 2" drop spindles & Belltech drop struts
Rear - 34.5 inches - Belltech 5323 Springs and Belltech shocks

Going to have to raise the front up a bit. I can't turn without major rubbing. I also want the rear to come down another inch. It's the difference in the 5305 (which I need) and the 5323 (which I have). I'll be ordering the rear kit and the 5305 springs in a week or so. Going raise the fron up a half inch or inch till I stop rubbing as bad. I'll also be heating the plastic, but heating it now won't help at all...

Looks slick Nathan. I figured you would have rubbing issues that low.
My height is about 34.25" all around and I have 33" tires so I'm right above it. I have banged up the inside of my fenders pretty good too.
Your Yukon had come together real quick!

love how low that is in the front! Man, grab a hammer, heat gun, and grinder and you can make it work without rubbing:) I vote not to raise it. Thats the stance up front I want. How does it ride with the struts and spindles up front? Did you get camber bolts?

NathanJax, what size rims and tires are you running?

305/35/24

I have to raise it a little. at least up to 33". I might getting smaller tires to be able to keep it lower. It rides nice. Bumps don't affect it or scrape. It's only when turning. No camber bolts because I didn't expect it to go that low.

So I need 2 new tires anyways, so I'm going to do 295/35/24 for the front 2 tires instead of 305/35/24 and raise it just a hair, up to 33" and see what happens...

I wish I could but there's not one spot it rubbing... It's the entire fender well in front of the tire and behind the tire. I'll try and get a pic of it later.

It's not the top rubbing. In a straight line, i can go over rail road tracks and nothing rubs, it's just the turning. i had to do a 3 point turn to back out of my driveway this morning...


trust me, I'm gonna do everything I can to keep it at low as possible.

Going to get aligned in about 30 minutes. Front should be good and only raised it up 0.25 inches.

I'll get full measurements and pics later this afternoon. Still need to get the rear down another inch (with new springs) but I've been worried about the front first...
