I'm going to venture a guess and say 3" lift spindles, 2" lift keys and 3" rear spacers.

 

[Donnie Yukonie]

While its torn apart I would check and replace any worn suspension parts Y'all will thank me later

 

[Z-56 Hoe]

I already got new Moog control arms with the ball joints and new Timkin hubs what else?

And yes 3" spindles and 2" level kit.

You are so right lol.

 

[YukonXL04]

Sweet! What tires you going to run?

I would check the tie rods and the sway bars while your there too.

 

[Tahoewhat]

hum... good guess... ha ha ha ..


When is this happening guys? Keeping the same rims?

as stated, check tie rods , mine were bad & didnt know it.

The replacement sway bar end links on rock auto are 3/4" longer for the front so thats a plus. Also get the rear sway bar links for a TJ. Its posted somewhere around this forum. Get ready for a fun feel and stepping up to get in!

Wade my other vehicles have all been lifted trucks from 37X13-50's to 44's on a 1988 chevy Scott's dale pickup. I'm use to being high.

I thought sway bar links for the New JK Jeeps were the ones to get?

Also doing New Timken hubs and Moog upper and lower control arms and a new pitman arm

Yes Mike same rims.

Check for excessive play especially where they connect. If it was me I'd replace them if it hasn't been done lately honestly. If you're in there already do it so you don't have to rip it apart again.

Look at my thread on Pg 13 or see link posted here: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24444&page=13

It shows the additional parts best for key/spacer kit lifts. The denali lift guy used TJ links or stated so but the ones I ordered are for a KJ. As long as they are the same size and length I think you will be fine.

True that.

 

[MRS.Z-56_Hoe]

Wait so is my Tahoe gonna run super rough?

 

[01Konvict]

Nope, maybe a lil bit stiffer but if your replacing stock shocks with 5100s then it will be a better ride than stock

[MRS.Z-56_Hoe]

Right!! I still have mine. I love the load leveling feature when towing our boats. I think you can uses them with rear shock extensions

 

[01Konvict]

To keep Nivomats you only need rear shock extenders!

 

[Z-56 Hoe]

Even tho I am doing a 3.5" spindle and a 2" level kit?

 

[01Konvict]

Yup if you want Nivomats in the rear just get shock extenders
