What size 33? Like a 275/60/20 or a 33x12.50x20?

With the 275/60/20 u could do a 20x10 with like a 0 offset or higher I think would clear fine maybe little plastic trim...

With 33x12.50x20 prly a 20x10 with a 20-30 offset other wise lots of trimming/cutting

I am running 275/60R20 duratracs which offset would let the wheels stick out just a little?

So I am going to be lifting my Yukon with this lift kit http://supremesuspensions.com/produ...oe-suburban-gmc-yukon-full-lift-leveling-kit/ is there anything else I'm going to need like shock ext. or any thing like that also I will be running 33" duratracs on 20" wheels what offset should I look for? Also will this kit be ok with the rear air suspension? I have a 2007 Yukon XL with the rear auto ride

You can't lift the stock front end 4". Max is 2.5" and above that you def need UCAs plus diff drop. Shocks you need extensions for the rear and if your keeping the air ride then need RC ones from the 3.5 kit. Front shocks are ok as spacers mount between them and truck frame. What do you really want to do with the XL and I will direct you? If you want 4" then I would look into the RC 3.5" kit and all you need is longer all thread or FTS ride height spacers to reset the air ride sensors.

The kit that I ordered is a 3.5" lift in the front and 3" lift in the rear using spacers I'm really just going for the looks i don't take it off-road unless I have a reason

Better get some new UCAs cause anything over 2.5 sits on droop stops. Or be super sketch and cut the droops off the frame. Curious to know how long the CVs and tie rods last at those angles.

Glad you got it on. Take some pics of the front end angles/UCAs and rear end setup. Plus how did the rear work with air ride shocks?

I WILL TAKE SOME TOMORROW WHEN I BRING IT IN FOR THE ALIGNMENT TOMORROW NIGHT AND I DIDNT NEED THE SHOCK EXTENDERS OR LEVEL SENSOR EXT. SO FAR THE AIR RIDE IS WORKING JUST LIKE BEFORE

Looks real good.
I like the tow mirrors on there. Flows good wth the lifted stance.

Thanks! It actually doesn't look bad for what they said was 3.5" lift. Do you remember how thick the spacer measured?

No I do not remember it was 2 am when I put the kit in and I had already broken the front sway bar links so I really didn't pay attention

Your CV angles don't look too bad. But your upper ball joint, not sure about that. Are you planning on getting longer UCAs?

Eventually I am planning on getting a better kit with everything but for now this is what I have to work with
