02Yukon to Denali

[BADRIDES]

Right rear was 34" exactly and left rear measured 33 and 3/4 with the 1" spacer. Both fronts measured in at 33 3/8 with the 2" spindles. I don't have a measurement right now with the 2" spacer, but I can check on that in the morning.

What kind of shocks are you running? You should be around 34 1/2 with the 1 inch spacer. That's where I will be once I get my Belltech shocks put on. I'm running 275-55-20 tires.

Something just don't add up cause you would have been squatting in the rear end if you would have left the 1 inch spacer out.

Jason like I've been telling you once you put belltechs in will come down. Also depends on where his front keys are set I've seen them vary

The option package you have the shocks are keeping it up so don't worry once you change shocks it will come down. I've seen it many times on the 00 to 06 tahoes since they came out

I just don't want mine to come down to 34 on one side and 33 3/4 on the other with a 1 inch spacer in the rear. I'm at 33 1/2 in the front with spindles and I want a 1 inch rake on mine. Since I loosened up my shocks the other day and it dropped to 34 1/2 on rear springs and the spacer then I should be ok. I don't believe the Belltech shocks affect ride height like the stock shocks I have do. I'm running 275-55-20 tires.

Norcal can tell you more about "why" the measurements are what they are. I can only show and display the results. My tires are 285/50/20 for reference.

What shocks are you running in the rear Knope?

He's not running your option package rear shock You keep going on measurements and comparing then to yours and you can't. You need to change your shocks.

If we have the same Belltech rear springs and Belltech rear shocks shouldn't we have the same measurements?

 

[NORCAL SS]

there are variances with the axle mounts that ive seen. Upper crossmember is the same but some 00-06 tahoes the lower mounts are thicker so stick up more which in turn give back of the truck higher look.

 

[BADRIDES]

Can u get me a measurement with the 2 inch spacer? Where did you get it?

 

[BADRIDES]

Right rear was 34" exactly and left rear measured 33 and 3/4 with the 1" spacer. Both fronts measured in at 33 3/8 with the 2" spindles. I don't have a measurement right now with the 2" spacer, but I can check on that in the morning.

Well I got the Belltech shocks put on today and it dropped the back down 1.5 inches more and rides very stiff. The front is at 33 5/8 and the rear is at 34. I was hoping the rear to be 34 1/2 cause I was at 35 1/2 with the Nivomat shocks on it. Looks like I will be taking the Belltechs off tomorrow and putting the Nivomats back on and pulling the 1 inch spacer.

No free travel mod that's why it ride bad. Just do free travel mod andc1.5 spacer along with endlinks and bumpstops will be fine

Thanks. it is a 2000 GMC regular cab lowered 3/5 on Tahoe chrome 20's and 275-45-20 tires. Dropped with all Belltech equipment.

I'm loving this look... really thinking about doing the Denali front and rear swap on our '05 Yukon minus the side molding.

Thanks! The front end conversion is a bit costly, but well worth the look IMO. I'll eventually get around to the rear bumper too, but once I get the side molding on I think I'll just paint the chrome to match.

I actually just scored a complete front bumper assembly for $100.00. Just need to paint it to match. Then hoping I can find a grille and running lights for a decent price. Goal is to have less than $500.00 in the complete front bumper, rear bumper, grille, lights, and paint after I sell my OEM stuff that's on my Yukon now.

That's a great deal. Be sure to post up a build log if you do the work yourself. I had a shop do mine since school had just started back and I'm interested to see how much work went into it.

Finally got some down time on the weekend to do a little work. Plasti-dipping with glossifier on the chrome of the rear bumper to give it a Z71 look. And secondly, color matching the rear vent appliques.

I'm not done yet, but here are a few pics to get it started. Bumper cleaned with Scrubbing Bubbles

Very faded and pretty scuffed up from 217k miles of work and towing. A few coats of white and clear will fix all of that!

Yuck.

There was one gash that was deeper than just a surface scuff. I went over it a few times with the etching primer filler and re-sanded.

And here is a nice pic after two coats of base white. I'm only doing one atm because I've heard stories of the clear coat changing the tint of the base white. If all works out well, I'll be pulling the other side off and working on it tomorrow.
