I recently traded my 06 Sierra for an 07 Yukon SLT. It currently has factory 22" wheels with 285/45R22 sized tires and also want to put factory 17" wheels for winter. I am not sure about whether it has air shocks or auto leveling but is an SLT so i am guessing that should tell what it would have.

I am wanting to lower the Yukon while still retaining towing capability. I tow a 24' boat with a tandem axle trailer (not sure of weight) and occasionally tow a car trailer and usually have 4 - 6 people plus whatever we take with. I would like a bolt on bag kit but just cant seem to part with the cost (have only found the Kelderman kit). Ride quality is important and would only do if there is no way of bottoming out.

Can anyone help me with any experience you have and possibly pics. Thank you in advance.

I figured people would jump at this as a chance to post pics and tell about their suspension.
