I am toying with the idea of spacers to bring the wheels out a bit but I'm not sure if it'll do any damage in the future
Post your lifts.

The shocks I have are the ones that came with the rough country's leveling kit.

@00'BlueSteel When you were running just the leveling kit with the Cognito UCA's did you have to use limit straps as well? Ive read conflicting reports whether you do or dont need them.

I didn’t run limiting straps, and never had a problem. My upper control arms did just kiss the droop stop and rubbed the paint off, but never caused any damage. If you crank the keys all the way up and off-road or drive hard you will cause the upper control arm to hit the metal droop stop. The Cognito UCA’s do not have the rubber bump stop on the bottom of them so it is metal on metal, that’s why they suggest limiting straps. If you do not crank all the way up and you monitor the clearance at full droop you will not need the straps.

You go to any of the meets locally? Really trying to start a group for mature Tahoe/Yukon owners. Get local group buys etc, folks who have something to lose so they do not act up when out at events etc. Help each other out, advice on vehicles, help each other build projects and such.

Yes looked like crazy too ended up ordering after market. And yea always cool to hang out and talk shop
Hey I’m sure this question has been posted and beaten more than a dead horse on here somewhere. I’m wanting to level and clear 33x12.50x17 tires on my 05 LT. I already know I want to get new torsion keys and shocks all the way around. Will I need anything else in order to clear the 33’s? And will I be able to run 33’s on my factory wheels? Not looking to go crazy with this ride as my daughters get tired of climbing in and out of my rides already from previous lifted trucks. I’ve seen lots of ppl on here saying the bilstein 5100 shocks and keys.
