05 Yukon want to do a simple drop but the kits I see don’t have the bump stops. From what I’ve read and seen on my truck it sits on the bump stops and it’s necessary for stability. Is it necessary to sit on the bump stops? I want to retain the ride and handling and not spend an arm and a leg. Thinkin 2/3 or 2/4, want it nice and level any thoughts?

They aren't bump stops. They are jounce bumpers and part of the suspension. If you do a spindle drop, the arms stay right where they are and it rides the same

What Dan said about the jounce stops in the front.

For a 2" drop in the front, go with spindles. For the rear, coils are your only method for lowering. Whether you go with a 3" or 4" rear drop is up to you and what you want. Measure how it sits now and go from there. The stance of these rigs varies greatly from one to the other. Some are almost level as-is and some are 2" or more higher in the rear so they'd require a greater drop to sit level.

There's TONS of links and names of different kit suppliers in the Sticky'd Lowering Thread.
