Any updates?

They bolted on with no problems, Now i just have to wait to see if they last any longer but i`m sure they will. Just be be safe i put a lot of red locktite on the stud because there`s no cotter pin hole.

The guy that did the alignment was shocked by how big they were and asked where i got them and is now getting some for his hummer.

Finally put my 20's back on after running my dipped stockers. New rubber and rotors all the way around. Ohstu St5000 285/50/20 and Powerstop Drilled Slotted in front and Blanks in the back. I painted them with High Temp semi gloss too.

I have moog on mine right now and they`re the same size as OE. I only have 20 inch wheels on my yukon and they`re shot in about three years and around 18 to 20k miles.
Those are super expensive!

Guess its worth it if you save in labor or something. I'd rather replace the moogs a few times for less money.

Brought her home from the shop today. Rebuilt trans, rebuilt transfer case w/ upgraded pump housing, u joints, new cats, new oxygen sensors, new rear AC expansion valve and new rear blower resistor pack. Ready for summer road trippin!

Output drum busted on the 4L60. I was told this is common and that I'm lucky it didn't crack the housing.

How do the Ohtsu tires ride? Did they balance out easy. I see them on ebay and they are priced pretty right.

So far so good (knock on wood) they run smooth and quiet and held good on the highway in heavy rain.

Ok drove it for about 2hrs, all kinds of dirt roads to freeways & side streets. It really tightened up the little amount of play I had as far as in the wheel and doesn't pull when I hit ruts in my dirt road, but it still wanders around a little. Not so much pulling in either direction, just seems like it's right and left in the lane with small amounts of correction. Leads me to think it needs aligned again. Anybody have any thoughts?

Worth the $60 and about an hr to put it on, imo.

Mine did that after replacing everything and getting it aligned. New tires fixed it

Tie rods were replaced when I lifted it last September. They seem to be stout but I do think the arms might be next on the list. Anybody throw them expensive ass Rare Parts pitman & idler? Or should I just Moog 'em?
