So, I spent more on this crap than the trucks worth.

I have a 2001 Yukon that I purchased 7 years ago. I bought it with 170k and now have 318k, been a good truck needless to say(replaced transmission 10k m ago).

These 4:56's cost as much as the lift after labor and master bearing kit.. (The only thing I'll be outsourcing)

This should turn out well. Get some rear wheel spacers to even track width. Also get chrome denali headlights with clear corners.

Konvict, I knew I would need them but haven't ordered yet because I wasn't sure of the spacing I would need.. Any advice? The black halos were a straight waste of money, they are terrible at night.

( I want a full Denali Clip)

Most people use a 2 inch spacer to even it out

Looking forward to seeing this finished!

What are tuning plans for gears/tires?

Most are 1.5" spacers or whatever the cv spacer thickness is for the lift kit. Since your running oem replicas you wont have to trim stud ends. If you want a front end update I would do the HD hood, Denali lights with mini h1 retrofit, clear corner, and maybe sierra clip/bumper.

Not sure yet but I've gotta do something. Speedo reads 90 when I'm going 74 right now

The Sierra clip looks good, I'll have to start pricing around..

As soon as the kit shows up I'll measure the spacers.. Thanks for the advice

That's cheap for gear install! If they didn't cost so much I might do them on my Denali.

You might need a small front 3/16" or 1/4" wheel spacer to clear knuckle on that lift. You will have to test fit and see if needed with 22s.
