Huck's 2004 Yukon slow build

[05Single]

Nice, I'm jelly I want big wheels.

I think color match the front bumper and valance and a chrome denali style perforated grille insert would be
And of course new lights all around.

Dam. That looks good. She needs a cowl hood

Thanks! Agreed, that's in the plans a little down the road. I'll be starting at a company in 2 weeks that carries cowl hoods for these. Employee pricing ftw lol

I'm gonna leave the bumper chrome, but either colormatch or black the valence, some kind of billet grille and cleared Denali heads/clear corners/new led tails soon. And painted rear bumper plastics after I get a new chrome bumper

Drove it to the grocery store and back a little while ago. Rides and drives great, no complaints. But was concerned how it would stop considering the small brakes these trucks have. I'm sure panick stops would be affected but it's stops just fine, can hardly feel a difference. Will be ugrading to 05+ calipers/rotors when the time comes though.

05+ or 07+ ?

And I wanna say I've seen tahoes and denalis with those wheels but this might be the first yukon I've seen with those exact wheels.

Look into the 07+ brake upgrade. If you already have to buy rotors and such, all that's extra is caliper I do believe...Supposed to be a big upgrade.

I was under the impression that 05/06 is the same as 07+. Maybe not, I'll have to look into it. I know 05+ had 12.99" rotors on the trucks, I've had 3 of them and they stopped great

Only the 05/06 pickups with rear drums had the 13" fronts. No SUVS had them until 07. And, yes, they are the same thing and either will bolt right up to any NBS suv. Also, you need a minimum of 17" wheels.

So here's a question for you guys. I'm putting on my 2/3 drop next week, but I heard some light scrubbing going through a roundabout this morning.

Is any body running a 285/45/22 on a 2/3 drop? I've still got my stockers I can throw on worst case but hoping I don't have any serious clearance issues

Probably just need some light trimming of the inner fender plastics.

 

[04Huck]

That's what I'm thinking. I'll have some time this weekend hopefully to crawl around and look

Make sure you flip the bolt in the top of the rear shocks

:shake: Thanks for the tip. Wanted to at least get the wheels cleaned up today but work on the wife's van took much longer than expected and killed her pass window in the process

You ain't kidding. It's an 04 Honda Odyssey. New headlights, required removing the front bumper. New front rotors and pads, couple seized bolts. LEDs throughout inside, reverse lights and tag lights, literally put every one in backwards and had to flip. Then the window. I'll address that tomorrow

All done, got an alignment set up for tomorrow at 9am. Other than camber though, it drives perfectly straight. I love this kit, perfect match with the 22s. Rides almost stock, VERY minor scrubbing in the rear (where the inner fenders jut out for hardware clearance) and it handles like it's on rails with the Belltech sway bars.

I actually didn't use the drop keys, I just took the bolts out with the stock keys, used the supplied 1" spacer and used the stock isolators. I'm going to pull the isolators at a later date though because the rear could stand to come down another 1/4" or so IMO.

To recap, 2/3 Belltech using decranked stock keys, Belltech rear springs/shock relocators/bumpstops, Belltech SP shocks, Belltech front and rear sway bars, 22x9 GMC 22s with 285/45/22 Toyo Proxes STs.
