Lifting questions

[nicks]

im a newbie to the site and am tryin to figure out some options for yukon I have a 09 yukon and im thinking of lifting it just a little i dont think i want to go to the extent of doing a full rancho lift. i would like to try and get as much lift out of spacers possible with out having to change shocks and every thing. what is a good spacer combo to have the back sit level also. and what would i be able to fit for tires? if any one has any info and possibly pics of one done i would really appreciate it.
THANKS

Your best bet is to use the search function, this has been discussed at great length in other threads.

I think what you are looking for is the READYLIFT SST lift kit. Runs about $300 for front and rear spacers and lets you run up to a 33" tire.

I know you don't what to change your stock shocks But I would recommed a rancho quicklift, not a full lift kit but a leveling kit with shock built in. Good luck!

With the CCM leveling kit you should be able to run 33s with some minor trimming. Fraction of the cost of that Readylift. It is a very popular solution.

+1 for CCM. FYI most of these level kits indicate you can fit 33/11.5 tires, but I just put on 285/65/18 (32.5"/11.2" actual measurements) and I still had to trim. Not sure how some are mounting this size tire on stock rims without any trimming.

Did it rub all the time or just when doing like u-turns or sharp turns? I was wanting to put 33" Mud Grapplers, but those are supposed to be 33/12.5. Maybe I will just have to hold off until I can get a full lift.

They rubbed only when turning (not even full lock though). If you want 33/12.5 you will need to do a lot of tirmming even with 2.5 spacer in the front.

Rides good. Did some light off-roading on a beach. Lots of soft sand and some big rocks to play on. Did some light trail riding with out much camber and it rode great. Handles great in the mud and snow!

I like how well the adjustable rancho shocks performed. Tuning them in for the off road conditions was nice and then firming them back up for the roads was even nicer.

I did the 2.5" on the front and the 1" in the rear. Readylift. They told me there would be no trimming needed. I am running 285/70/18 Nitto Terra Gripplers. They did rub on the front left ony when I was backing up. it only rubs there because on the water resevior for the windshield wiper fluid.
Truck rides great and would recommend. Makes it look great.
