Lowing

[Ducati18]

I am new to the site. I have a 2005 Yukon and I am wanting to lowwer it. How low can i go with 22's and don't have to do any customizing.

Welcome! I'm bascially in tulsa too!

Search thru several suspension threads for details, but you'll find a few different ways to lower your 05. Up front you can use spindles or keys or a combo of both. Springs for the rear with shock extenders.

You can go up to a 3/5 drop.

You can go up to a 3/5 drop.

with the right tire size and wheel offset.

What about the auto-ride?

What about the auto-ride?

if you have ar you can keep the ar but will need different end links. Max has said that they come with beltech kits, but can be purchased separately too. you will still need shock extenders. you won't need to change the shocks for the front if you go with spindles/keys.

Thanks. If I do a 2/3 kit. Will it be a big difference than stock

Well, yea. 2 inch lower in the front and 3 inch lower in the back. Is that a big difference to you?

I am thinking on a 2/3 or 3/4. I do not want to buy a kit and put it on and belike damn I should have want lowwer.

 

[OKLAGMCRUISER]

go 3/5 or you'll be dropping coin to lower it again a couple months later.

 

[Ducati18]

With the 3/5 lowwer can I keep the same shocks for the auto-ride?

 

[Max]

Yes as long as you use shock extensions. I'd recommend belltech, my truck rides great with the 5/6 drop of whatever the hell it sits at now.

do those auto-ride setups have the same shit in the rear? like sway bar and trailing arm.. I cant see why they wouldn't but no one mentioned getting sway bar and trailing arm relocators.

also, so you get an idea of how low these trucks are when specific drops i can try to point you to some pics... I have a 2/3 drop (however I maxed out my front keys and got almost 3 in the front) so probably more like 3/3 on my truck. Blueflammed also has a 2/3. Check his out because that is what most of these trucks look like with a 2/3.

I am not sure if anyone has 22's AND a 2/3 on this site. I think JK has a 3/5 on 24's. I forget what grocery getter is rolling with.

at the end of the day a 2/3 will clean up that nasty wheel well gap for you and improve the body roll... however if you like em low, i too would prolly recommend the 3/5... but like mentioned before, i think with that 3/5 you need to consider your wheel offset.

Sorry for asking but how much is the 5/6 kit and is there alot of custum stuff you have to do. Is it sold as a hole kit or do you have to call them up and they out it together for you.

They don't make a kit, I built mine. Everyone seems to think you need to relocate the control arms and sway bar when I'm running a larger aftermarket sway bar and stock arms with a 6" drop. I work on lifted trucks everyday and know pinion angle/sway bar relocation is critical on modified suspensions but these trucks are quite a bit simpler than people make them out to be. I'm sure the relocation doesn't hurt but I don't think it is at all necessary until you're bagged out 10" lower than stock out back.

i sell teh djm rear hardware kit by itself so you can go with the belltech front/rear and the djm kit to save yah money.

belltech 2/3 is a nice set up also for what you want to do.
