My bagged 07 Yukon... pics & info...

[NathanJax]

Well, I've been bagged a little while now so I figured I would finally post some pics and measurements.

My ride height is basically as low as I can go with my camber still in spec. I have stock arms, spindles and struts. I do have the Belltech camber bolts in so that gives me the ability for a lower ride height. The rear ride height could be lower, but I want it to look even with the front.

I was lower up front with my Belltech 2" drop spindles on, but it didn't lift up high and the "all the way down" the inner fenders rested on the tire. I didn't want that happening in case something went wrong, so I went to stock spindles. To go lower up front, I might do Tony's strut mod just low enough to not slam the fenders.

For the rear, the back is as low as I can go without cutting stuff up. The upper spring perch is part of the rear bump stop bracket and is what the bag attaches to so I can't do the free travel mod. I've looked in to this a lot and found my definitive answer (before cutting mine) from this thread here in post 5

For my opinion on the Kelderman Kit, it's perfect for someone who is stock and wants to ride like lowered and play around. I spent a bunch of money to get lowered and then abunhc more money to get bagged no to really gain anything for normal driving around town besides playing with it. If you're stock and have the money, I'd just go with the kit if you really want to eventually be bagged.

And yes, I'm looking to start cutting so I can go mo low...

All down - Front 32" Rear 32.5" - To ride here it's EXTREMELY uncofortable and so bouncy you can't really ride here but for a minute or so.

Almost all down - Front 32.25" Rear 32.75" - I can ride here and it's a little bouncy, but I can't get camber to adjust out far enough and don't want to chew through tires. I ride here almost half the time I'm driving around town, but highway and normal day to day driving I ride at ride height

Ride height - Front & Rear 33.25" - I ride here most of the time for normal and highway (day to day) driving

All up - Front 37.5" Rear 38" - Camber way out and bouncy. I can lower it just a hair and ride all up if I'm making fun of a stock SUV on rims

and here's some misc pics...

This is how you should roll ALL the time.

When I'm "showing off" (going in to a parking lot or someone around staring) I do because it shows I'm not just lowered but bagged.

So this is just kelderman right?
You didn't end up mix matching anything?

These pics are just the Kelderman, correct.

I did mix n match and that's why I took so long to take/post pics. You have to use OEM or direct replacement shocks (I have Monroe) because the size of the holes the bags go on to on the strut (if that makes sense)

I tried it with and without drop and I still have the Belltech camber kit in.

In the rear the bags replace the springs so nothing you can so there. I do still have the DJM rear kit (shock extenders, shorter swaybar endlinks and trailing arm relocation brackets)



but that's it.

Yes I understand the strut bag hole thing lol Yates explained it me once before.

I just remember when you put it on originally and weren't happy with the rear height. That's why I asked if it was just kelderman.

So let me hear your opinion on ride quality.
Better than your static?
Still running belltech rear shocks?


Sorry for the questions I've just always been interested in this kelderman kit.

The rear height is basically the same as before. What I fixed was moving my rear sway bar towards the passenger side like the directions say once you go so low. That was the biggest issue the first time. I still have the issue of wanting it lower, but you can really "fix" that without cutting and welding. If I cut the bump stop bracket off, I'll have to somehow weld the spring perch back on in order to bolt the bag back on. If I do that, why not do a mini notch in the rear at the same time. That's where I am at now...

At my set ride height, it's fine. Almost exactly like my static drop which was almost like OEM. I'm fine/happy with the way it rides now. Yes I still have the Belltech shocks, but I might try some OEM shocks if I can get my hands on some (cheap) to do a comparison.

No problem. That's why I started this thread and made sure I had all the different heights measured out.
