Lifted/Leveled 2021 - Postem Up

, also don’t think the spacer thicknesses are actually 2” / 1” (though the RC rep told me this is

Alright. I’ve stalked this page for years and never actually posted any pics of our previous leveled vehicles. Looking back they were all white with black wheels. Not much changes I guess. Suspension maxx 2.5 front with new uca and 1.5 in the rear. Tires are 295/65/20 Toyo at2. Yes it’s tight, yes it required trimming and some more to be done this weekend. The grocery getter will definitely be set apart now.

Looks good! What is the overall height of the Yukon now? Looking to do something very similar but would like to still fit in the garage..

Traxda - 2" front / 1" rear lift
Wheels - XF Offroad 20x9 / +12 offset
Tires - Toyo AT3 285/60/20
Poke - No tread really showing but the bulge of the sidewall sticks out and the shoulder of the tire can be seen now. So, some "poke".
Trimming - So far just the front Husky mud flaps needed a little bit of trimming.
Roade noise - Not much at all, these are actually pretty quiet tires for an all terrain.
Raised height - Sorry guys, I was so excited I didn't get the before measurement.

I’ll take the stock rims if you’re throwing them out Nice setup

At this point, not sure what I'll do with the stock set up. Those tires have 13K on them and the wheels look like new. They "may" go up for sale.

Could you have done a 295?

Could you have done a 295?

I don't think so.

I did a quick super quick "test drive" and nothing seemed to rub on normal turns. I have not tried backing down the driveway apron while turning yet. If there will be any rub, this is usually where it will show up. I'll try and do a little experimenting today or tomorrow with that.

When I turn full left (maxed), the rear of the tire that is now cranked inwards towards the frame is right up again the fender well lining or at least really really close! If I end up with a rub in this area, I might try like a 1/4" wheel spacer......which I "think" would help that???? Unless I'm looking / thinking about that wrong?

I'll keep ya posted!!

 

[FatDog]

Did a little more test driving in and out of the driveway (backwards / forwards) while turning and no real issues.

It doe touch barely but not even enough to make noise on the felt wheel liner.

There is a small bracket that is bolted in behind the felt wheel liner that basically lines up about where the rub is. I think I'll mess around with pulling the liner and see if I can do anything with that.

Also, looking at things closer, any wheel spacer would definitely make the rub worse. I'm glad I did not add wheel spacers and I'm glad I did not go any more than the +12 offset on the wheel with this setup.

I ended up removing the brackets to make clearance, didn’t seem like any good way to trim or rework them.

I'll have to take a closer look but initially, I "think" the bracket you have pictured looks different then what it is on the Denali? Yours looks like it is bigger and goes inward? From memory I think the bracket on the Denali was much smaller and just had a tab.

I'll take a closer look and get some pics one of these evenings.

Thanks, yeah, just going for a little poke. Here are some more pics, the wheels I have are +15mm offset (factory z71 wheels are +24mm), so amount of offset is closer to a 1.5” spacer with a factory offset wheel.View attachment 384805View attachment 384804View attachment 384806

Do you have a picture by chance before you put the spacers on? I’m looking at going with a +1 offset but I want it to poke out a little similar to your set up. Nice ride! How the coopers holding up?

So far I really like the coopers. I will say the stock Goodyears and the KO2’s were quieter, but the coopers aren’t obnoxiously loud and so far seem better in rain and snow. I ran nitto mud grapplers as a kid, sounded like an airplane coming down the road lol. So spacers went on before the coopers, this would be closest to +1mm I’ve run (stock wheels and tires with 1.25” spacer).

Anyone running the rough country 3.5 lift? Thoughts on it? Debating between that and the readylift 3in.

 

[Goggs7]

So after much research and searching around I finally ended on this set up. I’m very happy with the way it turned out!

Looking good I’m still debating on the leveling kit from CCM vs the rough country… I only am hesitant because the rear end is ugly as is and the taller the vehicle the more it shows. On another note I live near this shop how much did they charge?

Thanks! Yes there was some trimming required tomorrow I will take pictures of that in the daylight.

The owner is a family friend of ours so I got a little break on the pricing but he does great work and still cheaper than any other shop around.

 

[Morales1995]

Well I know that the rough country kit has more parts than just 4 spacers but I’m still curious to see your Tahoe looks great man!

I wish Chevrolet continued that color into the 2022 lineup.

Looks fantastic! One of my favorites styles of Fuel wheels. Enjoy!
