2.5” lift 2023 AT4 Yukon

[mcasey5121]

Has anyone put the Rough Country 2.5” lift on a 2023 AT4 Yukon? If so, got any pictures? How did it change the ride? Any advice…THanks!

I did it to a Denali with mag ride. Didn’t change the ride at all. Still need some tires. My only complaint is the upper control arm is super close to the factory tires so you may need an aftermarket wheel.

Did you install it yourself? If so, how did that go?

I think others are using wheel spacers to deal with the upper control arm issue and fender rub with wider tires.

4wp did it not me.

The lower 2.5” leveling is super easy to install and only takes about 20-30 minutes with basic tools and a floor jack
Undo the sway bar link
Unbolt the bottom strut bolts
Jack it up enough to slip the spacer under the strut
Then reassemble it’s a piece of cake don’t pay no shop 200-400$ for a 20 minute job you can do in the driveway with your harbor freight 10$ socket set!

I went with the 35's back in May, and I have to say that I'm not happy with the rubbing. I'm as far back as the frame (behind the wheel), and I still get some rubbing back there on the power running board LED clip. I'll have to make some modifications so that it clears the tire, but it's a pain in the ass that even after all this time, I still rub. I can always go back to the 33's but they look a little thin compared to the 35's, and don't fill up the wheel well as much. The ride is also nicer with the 35's, so I guess I'll have to break out the power tools again.

EDIT: I fixed the rubbing, which was the electrical chord on the power running board. I removed the end cap a few months ago to prevent more rubbing, so now I'm okay.

The 33” comforser tires run small actually and are closer to a 31-32” in my experience the 33” atturo trail blades are true to size and would probably look pretty good and venom makes a 33/14.50 that looks pretty sick also I’ve had good luck with my set I’ve had em for a couple years now

I actually have a set of the Trail Blades in my garage that originally came with my rims when I bought the set. Two things: Unfortunately, the rubber is not soft enough to stretch out over the width of the 24x14 rim (33x13.50r24). And for some reason, they're not a true 24 inch tire, because my California tire guy had to shave down the inner rubber for them to fit on the outer part of the barrel flange. We shaved down one tire, but it didn't fit the rim. We also max inflated it as high as 110psi, and it still didn't clear that outer step flange. The picture below is as far as we got. Good looking tire though.

Oh wow that’s nuts I ain’t ran em in a couple years I had the original trail blades not those new ones but in both cases I had 33/12.50s on 22x14s and 35/12.50s on 22x14s and never had a issue ever

I don't need them at this point, so I'll most likely sell them. I have 5 total... 6 tires, if you count the one Gladiator X-Comp I bought for test fitting. It looks great, but after the wheel fell off the back of my lift gate, it immediately deflated as soon as it hit the ground face first. Mind you, it had a minor stretch.
