    I put ZR2 shocks on my Yukon - need advice

    Fox 2.0’s are ordered. Thank you guys for y’all’s feedback and help! Looks like I’ll have some ZR2 fronts up for sale soon.

    I put ZR2 shocks on my Yukon - need advice

    I can get 2.0 Fox IFP on Amazon for about $950, or Rough Country 2.5 2” lift Vertex RR for about $1,300. Haven’t seen Yukons run those yet but they have some nice reviews on other platforms, what do y’all think between those 2 options, Fox 2.0 or RC 2.5 for $350 more?

    I put ZR2 shocks on my Yukon - need advice

    I’ve made a decision to not go further with the front ZR2 shocks/struts at this time. Likely going to order some Fox 2.0’s for the front and keep the ZR2 rear shocks as they feel great! Any alternative recommendations vs the Fox’s are welcome but from what I’ve researched they seem to be the...

    Perhaps I should have stated mission in the beginning. We live in Colorado Springs, we have a large family and this is our adventure vehicle. We love going into the mountain, nothing extreme as far as trails yet but we definitely do off-road.

    I put ZR2 shocks on my Yukon - need advice

    I’m thinking about calling these guys up on Monday, maybe they would be open to drilling a couple more sets of mounting holes for different locations, or modifying a set for me, worth an ask imo. Right now the rear is at 38”, the front is at 42”, so if I’d get 3-4” drop arms that should be nice...

    I put ZR2 shocks on my Yukon - need advice

    I used a step drill to open up the holes, they are maybe about 1/4” off, no big deal. I got the rears on tonight, I wanted to see if I could atleast use them and just have to buy Fox fronts. So the external reservoir is too big to use them for the side they are labeled for but if you swap LH...

    I put ZR2 shocks on my Yukon - need advice

    I’m also not sure how well moving the lower mount further inwards would work and here is why. The angle of the shock on the ZR2 is equal or more than the Yukon I think, I had to already force it to the current mounting position further inwards that what it seemed like it wanted to be. If I used...

    @stab6902, think there is enough “meat on the bone” to move the mounting position far back enough? There’s probably a smaller mfg of control arms that would consider making a custom set.. wish I had a shop and a welder and I’d do it myself, wouldn’t be hard.

    I put ZR2 shocks on my Yukon - need advice

    @stab6902, I am curious about your first comment, about the lowering arms not helping the suspension compress… if the lower arm was 2” more level would it not be easier to compress the shock vs if they are at a steep angle like now? Also I’m wondering if the lowering lower control arms move the...

    I’m sorry, about 2” further out vs the Yukon.

    I put ZR2 shocks on my Yukon - need advice

    Thank you! I straightened the alignment a little tonight and got some bolts tightened on the lower arm so I could drive it a little. I just drove slow and tried to hit bumps, boy is it stiff and bouncy! I drove the front up on a curb and let it drop down off it and got a little travel but my...

    I put ZR2 shocks on my Yukon - need advice

    @Silverado4x4, perhaps I should have been more clear, I’m not driving around like this currently. I’m trying to get advice on what parts I need or what I should do to make this work. I was expecting about 2” of compression on the shocks once they were loaded with the Yukon on the ground and...

    I put ZR2 shocks on my Yukon - need advice

    Took some pics this morning, it’s pretty much maxing out the upper control arms travel, I don’t understand why the suspension is not compressing hardly at all…

    Oh, and I bought some resistors and used the stock plugs off the old magneride shocks to wire them up, worked good, no suspension lights on the dash.
