    Are the oe hydraulic mounts failure prone on these models? Has any one used the aftermarket fabricated poly mount? Opinions?

    2018 Motor Mount

    I just picked up a 2018 Yukon XL Denali. It looks like i need to replace a driver's side motor mount. Previously, on my last NNBS i upgraded to a solid rubber mount from an H3. Is there a solid rubber alternative in the k2 platform? I'd like to not have to do this again with the stock oil filled...

    33s, Gears, and MPG

    I'm 4x4 too. What was your cost to re-gear? What ratio? How did it affect your mileage?

    2007 Tahoe Loose Steering

    depending on you mileage, you may have some other worn ball joints or end links. I haven't looked, but I've not seen dampers for rack and pinion steering. Also, wider tires tend to follow the road dips more.

    09 LTZ question.

    new coilovers are unnecessary up front. Spacers work just fine. The ones that go on the top can get you up to about 3.5 inches, but are harder to install. bottom spacers cap at about 2 inches, but should be easy to install. I did upper spacers and have been happy with it. Over 2.5 to 3 inches...

    33s, Gears, and MPG

    Yep that looks about right. Has anyone swapped gears after a tire change? was there any improvement in milage? (I know it's higher rpm, but it's also less downshifting to 5th and less load on the engine)

    Anybody running Fox shocks?

    You may check the air pressure in the new tires. If they are LT tires, they will go up to 80 psi or so. When I got my tires, the shop aired them up to the max and they rode pretty rough. I backed off to 45 and it was much better. I've had 5100 Bilsteins on 2 SUVs, I think they ride OK. But I'll...

    33s, Gears, and MPG

    So I've done some searching on this but I don't have a clear answer... I recently added 305/55/20s to my 09 suburban and I find that it likes to drop to 5th when going up even small hills. This is hard on MPGs. I have 3.42 gears. Has anyone on here upgraded to 33s and then changed over to...

    Any body have fender heights with a 2.5" lift?

    Leveling problems

    So I installed a 2.5 Front / 1.5 Rear kit. Everything looks great, but the front came out at 3.5 inches of lift! After the lift, I installed Bilstein 5100s (on the stock spring perch) and added Rough Country forged upper arms, then had it aligned. The shocks and arms didn't change the ride...

    Bose Audio Upgrade

    Without the interface box you'll lose chimes, onstar, steering wheel controls, rear audio, rear seat video, and maybe a few other features. Its been a few years since I did my 2003. Other normal radio features should be in the harness (power, ground, keyed power, dimming, etc) If youre adding...

    1/2 Inch Rear Spacers

    Yes. Do a google search. there in 1, 1.5, 2, etc. I'm sure there are 1/2 as well. Really, they are just aluminum pucks, so even cheap ones off EBAY are good enough. I've ran them for years. I just bought some made by Motofab. The fit and finish was perfect.

    Leveling a 2009 Z71 Suburban?

    So I'm finally getting around to leveling my Suburban. I'm using a spacer on the top of the strut to get a 2.5 in lift (and I'm adding 1.5 in spacers out back). I'm also adding bilstien 5100s all around. The fronts will be on the stock/lowest notch. I have to buy new upper arms because my ball...

    Z71 Black Grill

    So I recently upgraded to an 09 Z71 Suburban. I'd like to get rid of the chrome grill, but I'm having a tough time finding an black replacement. I tried a black grill off Ebay and it didn't fit. It turns out the Z71 grill really is different from the regular LT / LTZ grill. Has anyone found a...

    Torsion Key help

    you have the keys set too high. just go level with the back and you'll be fine. much more than that and you will have problems...like in the previous post, not to mention bad CV angles, bad ball joint angles, and a terrible ride.

    Ford Key suggestions

    I tried a VERY large c clamp (with an extension on the screw) to compress mine...I broke the c clamp down its spine! Scared the hell out of me. When I got done checking to see if all my fingers were OK, I went and bought the tool at a local tool shop. Its way cheaper than a ER copay.

    03 Denali with 6" lift, keys, spacers

    Ronnie, Not to hijack the thread, but how is the fit with the 20s and 5.75 BS? Rough Country's website says no more than 4.5 BS. Your wheels are almost the same specs as mine, but I dont know if my wheels would fit with the lift? Does the rim come close to rubbing the upper ball joint or the...

    max lift to clear 20x12 305/55/20

    Hmmm the 20x12s look a lot better than I expected! I would agree that a lot of lift would be needed for that offset and width.

    max lift to clear 20x12 305/55/20

    a 12" rim is really wide for a 305. It should be more like 9". What backspace? if youre more than about 5.5" your rim will contact suspension. For a 9" wide rim keys are fine.

    Lift Spindles for a 04 4wd?

    all the torsion bar setup on the NBS are the same. The tool will work fine. It isnt difficult at all. I did mine in maybe an hour.
