In the South they tend to shit the bed in the middle of the summer. Every battery failure I've ever had was somewhere between June and August. I'm a little concerned about mine this year.
to me it kind of washes out the bottom of the truck - like it blends w/ darkened underside of the truck/the road so you lose the flow of the body. I like the idea of two tone, but just not a huge fan of that color combo. May also look worlds different when actually done vs Photoshopped
Just in case anyone gets a case of the dumbass like I just did, you're supposed to use the longer piece that's left when you do this. I actually cut my bumpstops and started to put the little button piece in there and got pissed for a second. I blame it on the intensity at work lately. Not my...
Let them go for $700. No one was offering anything better.
I kept hearing they were worth "at least a grand" - $700 was the best offer I got and I was tired of them sitting in the garage (and the shredded tire kinda put a damper on things).
If this guy wouldn't have shown up this weekend, I...
I can't believe yours is sitting that low w/ autoride. Mine is barely under 36 in the rear.
I'm on 24s, but the overall wheel diameter should be very close.
I'll just go ahead and do this for Tony:

This is all you'll need.
Seriously, that's what you're looking for. If you're contemplating 2in in the front, his kit w/ the spacer in the rear (for a 3 in drop) will be what you're...
Just upgraded wheels so I don't need these sitting in the garage.
Wheels are in fantastic shape. 3 of the tires have some decent life left (see "penny pic"). One tire is toast. I hit something on the interstate a couple of weeks ago that totally shredded it. The rim didn't take any scratches or...
No press out - the hub bolt holds everything together. One pain in the ass I ran into was having to cut the upper ball joint stud off right at the nut to keep it from rubbing on the boot. There is absolutely no stud left beyond the nut.
Not overly difficult, but I was surprised I had to chop...
I haven't taken a pre air up measurement. The measurements in my post were after backing the car down the driveway and the rear had definitely aired up.
(thread here: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37622)
Measurements are just under 36in psgr rear and and about 1/4 in...
KMeloney - for what's it's worth, I'm on the 2/4 (no spacer) w/ 24s and 305/35s. Links are at 3 in. I didn't cut bump stop brackets and I've never bottomed (or come close from what I've felt). I'm rubbing a bit, but that's my biggest "issue" w/ the current setup.
What kind of wheel well trimming did you do? I'm in your 2/4 kit (which didn't go down that far due to autoride) and I'm rubbing a good bit.
Same wheels and tires too - same offset.
I mean I don't want to make them too short where they pull apart when I jack up the car. Not sure how short they'd have to be before that was a concern though.
Yeah, that's what I figured. I'll have to shorten them a touch - just don't know how much room I have to play with. I saw Tony recommend you setting yours to 2.5. Did you do that?
Thanks folks - read about the "Chevy lean" last night - kinda funny. Makes me think of NathanJax's avatar when I read/hear that.
I'll be interested to see if it comes down more in a few weeks. It's airing up a lot though - not sure if it'll keep pumping to this height or not. I'll bug Tony...
Good info. Just popped my lower clip out and I'll see how it goes.
Thanks folks. Hopefully this is helpful for the NNBS folks looking for a mild drop.
After the springs settle in the rear, I may tinker w/ link length to see if I can bring it down a touch more.
As for the rear riding a...
Installed the Belltech 2/4 (no spacer) drop kit on the Denali yesterday. Alignment is done as well. Only bugged Tony once on the phone, but did a lot of reading/asking questions in threads.
Quick recap:
2010 Denali
2in drop spindles up front
4 in drop spring in the rear (no spacer...
Niiiiiice. Looks great man. W/ the same drop kit, but no DJM hardware, can I set my links to 2.5 or will that be pushing it? Dropping this weekend. Going no spacer in rear on 2010 Denali... and I guess I'll have to cut bump stop brackets off.
Just measured stock height w/ 24s and 305/35 and...
