Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

[devious1]

not sure whether to lift the front or lower the rear to level it out.
any suggestions?

@devious1 since you have 5100s, take those struts and adjust them up to level the truck. Free mod since you have the parts already!
@AllStock nice Yukon but this thread section was for 07-14, anyways love the truck! Please share details of wheel/tire combo plus what center caps your running on those 962 x12s.

@01Konvict. Whoops! Haha sorry about that. But tires are 35x12.50r20 Atturo Trailblade m/t. ( good reviews great tread wear so far, kind of noisy but its a given for a m/t) moto 962 20x12 -44 i cant rememver center cap off top my head i will check my gmail to see and get back to you. Its basically a short push in style center cap, tapped it in very snug, love it. Stock plastic caps for wheels broke first day i went to install haha

 

[AllStock]

@01Konvict. 4.25" push in center caps

 

[01Konvict]

@AllStock thanks for the center cap find! Looking to get some 20x12s but don't think I have enough clearance for them up front on the bumper. GM designed a plastic bracket to hold the plastic bumpers so stuck right now for trimming without having the corners flop around. Trying to see how much it might rub on a x12 versus my current x10 at -24mm. I see you trimmed a bunch of your front end. Keep pics coming of the Yukon!

Get a level kit lift and Bilstein 5100s. The front shocks automatically lift the fron an 1" but are adjustable so maybe only need a 1/2" spacer to mount on bottom. This giving the front 2-2.5" of lift which is fine for stock angles. Then get a 1-1.5" rear coil spacer. If you want 4" go with Rancho or CST any bigger go 7" FTS or McGaughys

Interesting that you would mention the CST and Rancho 4" kits as I was looking at them both for my '13 Z71. That is about all I can go and still get into the downtown parking garage since this is my daily driver. I presently run Terra Grappler 285/60R18E on Fuel Trophy D552 18"x9" wheels. I'm also thinking of going to 305/60 or even 325/60 G2 and figure I will need the 4" especially for the 325's.

Any experience with the CST stuff? I've used Rancho before but that was 20+ years ago on a Toyota so I consider that worthless for evaluating Rancho today. I'm not a desert racer but not a rock crawler either. I want to be able to run down pipeline ROW's at 40-60 mph without damaging anything or losing control. Would the 4" Rancho or CST kit allow for that kind of driving? Thanks for any input, it will be appreciated.

Finally got around to cleaning it up and getting some pics! No show stopper, but I like it!

Nice Pics guys and great info!

I do have a couple questions however. I have an 08 Tahoe 4x4 and currently stock with a 285/70/17. I am looking at this kit from CCM. http://www.ccmoffroad.com/2007-2014...vy-3-leveling-lift-gmc-sierra-1-25-rear-lift/ Is this the kit I would need it doesn't say Tahoe but their more or less the same and what tire size do yall suggest I run? Keep the 285/70/17 or can I step up a little bigger and will I need to trim?

Ok maybe a few ? But thanks for the help.

The rear suspension is much different between the Silverados and Tahoes.
This is the kit you'd want:

That looks Great!!
What offset are those wheels? and what are the specs on the lift kit to get the 3.5" up front?

 

[zerps]

wheels are -12mm offset.
they do rub on the power running board. gonna have to mod that this weekend.

as far as lift:
got it on ebay
did have some small challenges with the install, but overall was relatively easy

What were some of the issues? I've never seen a 3.5" level up front, did it align back to spec? do the angles in the suspension seem alright, or maxed out?
Thanks

it did align back to spec, but did need to replace worn out front tie rods (had 85k miles on original)
suspension angles seem alright, not maxed out at all
it actually sits 1/2" lower in rear now, but I don't mind at all...
overall very happy with result

Looking good fireburban!

 

[devious1]

installed the 5100's and set the fronts for a 1.18" raise (3rd perch). measuring fenders, the front sits about 1" lower than the rear.

edit: 3rd perch is a 1.18" lift

 

[DEtahoe6904]

installed the 5100's and set the fronts for a 1.75" raise. measuring fenders, the front sits about 1" lower than the front.

what size tires are you running? Any rub? and all you did was the 5100s?

Ride a different than stock?
