2008 GMC Yukon "Regency" Edition Build Thread

Firestone air bags are good.

 

[Regency]

Alright thanks bro.

Firestone airbags are a yes then.

 

[yates ™]

Are you bagging the back?

 

[Regency]

No I only have 1 grand for the Yukon's suspension.

The reason I asked about the rear air bags is because I'll be acquiring a detailing trailer in the next year or two when I save up enough money.

 

[yates ™]

Let me know I can get you a bolt in rear bag set up.

 

[Regency]

Coolio. Will do thanks man.

 

[Goodinblack]

I would do a 2/2 drop with airlift 1000s in the back.

Mcgaughys spindles front.......
Beltech springs back 5301s.......
Bilstein shocks.......all 4s
Airlift 1000s

Done....... and can tow and all.

Cheapest setup that WORKS imo.

Rides nice too.

 

[Regency]

Will it be raked at all?

Second day of spring in Seattle

 

[Goodinblack]

Bummer. ^^^^

Yes it will be. You want level?

You could do a 3 inch spring in back....... then youhave have a choice..... Belltech or Pedders. Josh has Pedders.

 

[Regency]

Yes just level. I wish there was just a kit I could buy.

 

[Goodinblack]

Nothing to fear Bro...... piece together your own.

Suspension Kits imo suck because they aim to please a broad base of people.... and as such have to make generalizations as to what would appease a majority of the buying public.

Also with spindles up front the ride is close to factory due the the stock spring being used........ also remember the Airlift 1000s can be used to tweak the ride via air pressure ....... makes for a slightly adjustable rear spring.

Lowering springs by in large are soft.

 

[yates ™]

Why not just run air bag in place of the spring?

 

[Goodinblack]

What like a Keldermans?

 

[yates ™]

Sure

 

[Regency]

My mom would never buy a kelderman kit.

 

[yates ™]

Lol why not?

Alright I'll be getting what you recommended thanks.

So that'll put me at a 2/2 drop while being level and not have the rear end in the air?

She thinks they're cool and stuff but I don't think she could justify the cost. Especially at the same times as the wrap. If we hit the lotto we'll definitely but a kelderman kit from you!

 

[yates ™]

I could get you a manual fill rear kit for $600. How much are springs and helper bags?

 

[Goodinblack]

A 2/2 will have rake....... a 2/3 will be level.......

 

[Regency]

A 2/2 will have rake....... a 2/3 will be level.......

Alright then I need a 2/3. Do you know what components I'll have to get now?

And here you go yates.

$600 is to much right now as well. The limit is 1k with install. When I get the trailer I'll buy it then.
