dropped yukon now what size wheels?

[Elrey7698]

So I did the DJM 3/4 drop on my 08 yukon. I know a guy who knows a guy and I picked up the whole kit for $220. With calmax 2200 shocks included. After 12 hours of work it done. Now I dont know what size wheels to go with. I wanted 26" but I dont wanna cut up my wells. Im really leaning towards the 24" texas edition replicas In black but will a 35 series tire fit?

looks good, but your right,needs wheels. I'm dropped a little lower than you (little lower than a 3"/5") and I'm on 295/35/24 tires. Only minimal trimming to the wheel wells, etc.

personally I'd go 24's, which ones would be up to you, but chrome looks soo good on black cars. There's so many options but the factory replicas are cheap and are fairly low key and won't draw too much attention to your car, which i personally like.

Here's mine on 24 inch esky reps. I'm liking the look of your drop. I want to drop mine but since I sold all my toys I'd rather not mess with my daily anymore.

Looks nice! I would do 24" too much problems with 26...

Thats what im doing right now. Im picking up some 24 inch intro billets tomorrow.

 

[NORCAL SS]

Ya front will come up a little after u align it

Ok so the alignment was a bust. Most shops here do laser alignment. They all said that the factory specs wont work on a dropped truck. Wtf do I do now? Cant find anyone who will touch my truck. Also that the positive camber cant be fixed. I call bs.

Do you have the 3" DJM control arms up front or? Those are supposed to retain factory geometry if I'm not mistaken.

FACTORy specs work perfectly fine and how does it have positive camber?? tires are inwards up top not outwards.

You can just spin the upper a arm bolts/plate will do it.

All ready to see these Intro's! Love my 22" Intro's.
Ride looks great with the drop. Call BS on alignment shops tho.

Im actually gonna hold off on the wheels for now. I saw some wheels today and I just fell in love. They are called dub ballers. And for what I was gonna pay for intros I can get those wheels and a set of replicas for the winter.

Spin the upper a arm bolts? Im lost bro. My 3 friends installed the kit not me. I was just a gopher getting them tools. I dont know much about suspensions so be patient.

go to the shop say you want it back to stock specs and say you will sign a paper stating that you want that spec dont on your truck so they dont stress out.

on the upper control arms you can unloosen bolts ans spin the cam plates that will push the upper a arm out more.

The djm upper kit has new cam lock plates also so should lock in very easy since they have holes not a groove.
