IF a man wanted to drop the Front end 2" and the Rear end 3" on a 2019 Yukon XL SLT. This Yukon has standard, NON-magnetic suspension.
Thx

Use the McGaughy's shock extenders because they drop the rear shocks down more than the Belltech extenders.

Exactly what I want. I’ve seen on YouTube people complaining about the reared bottoming out?? Anybody having this problem? Or any other problems with the system?

Another vote for Belltech. I have the BT 1019 kit with 2" spindles and the OEM spring isolators left in on the rear. My rear settled out to exactly 3". Never bottomed out and no free travel mod. You've got a lot of options since you don't have to work around MRC. I also hear good things about the Belltech front coilover. Kinda pricey but you get a full adjustment range of 1 to 3 inches.

FWIW... I also ran the Maxtrac 2/3 kit for a little while. It was the spring swap version and not the drop spindle version. It rode very well but I felt the kit was better suited for a non-MRC suspension which is the only reason why I moved to the BT 1019.

I've got the MaxTrac parts in a box in the basement. Was holding on to them to install on a '18 Suburban LT that recently joined the family but I'll let'em go cheap if anybody has any interest.

I"m gonna go with 1019 kit too. I'm gonna do it myself. Watching youtubers now. Looks easy. I'm gonna drop the front 2" and the rear 3" so I won't have to cut the factory bumpstops off. Yuk looks great. It's exactly what I want do on my XL. Thx for the info.

i personally dont care for cutting the stops off, i do however shorten the factory bump if the kit does not come with them.
this is the same ride, just a day earlier. originally ordered a 2/4 drop, but the rear maxtrac spring came out to be closer to 5"...so igrab the belltech coils from a local summit racing...and finished at a 2/3 as posted earlier.
