What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[BigDaddy13440]

How long did it take you? I just got my keys today, and I'm sure they are just as rusted as yours were.

I have my Bosch SDS Max hammer drill on standby to knock those bars out of place, if needed.

I did it in the gravel driveway. All told, including taking a few drives to let the suspension settle, and readjusting after each drive. maybe took me 2 1/2 hrs. I hit it with WD40 twice about an hour before trying to pull everything apart. And I had a Handy Dandy MAPP gas torch at the ready (I'm a Conractor!) - in this case, HEAT was much, much more of a friend than the WD40 was!!! The Goodyear shop that put the keys in my Suburban spent almost 2 hours trying to get the bars to let loose, and that was with a lift, and being able to take a full swing at the keys to knock them loose.

My Yukon XL came from Vermont, where they apparently don't salt their roads, only using sand in the winter. If my 'Kon were from Upstate NY.... it'd be more rust than metal, ifyaknowwhatI'msayin......

At least you gave it a shot. I've seen similar lights put under the door sills, above the running boards , and also under the running boards .Maybe something to ponder.

That's exactly why I don't like it. Starting to get that 17 yr old loose in the stick on chrome isle.

I don't think so, but they offer up to 2 extra degrees of camber/caster. It seems they'll work for what I'm doing, I think Mrs z56 has the same ones.

If I need extra length I'm sure there's a fab shop that can make me some pretty strong drop brackets that would work.

Put Ford leveling keys in my Yukon XL, got the front end up where it should be, currently at 39 1/4" fender height. Putting the Z71 springs and 2" spacers I took out of my totaled Suburban in over the weekend, should be just about the same height as the front. Gonna be a few weeks before I can put the Zone body lift in, I need a solid 8 hours free with no rain (doing it in the driveway, no garage to work in.

And that's right, FORD Leveling keys for a 97-2002 Expedition/F150. Not just a little bit indexed like Chevy leveling keys, nor a bit more like the stock Ford keys. These have about a 15-17* index compared to the stock keys I took out.

Ride is very stiff (just did almost 150 miles on it today), but I've got them both cranked past where I need to be. Definitely going to drop it back down, get to 38 1/2" or so, just about level with the Z71 coils and 2" spacers (when I put them in). As of right now, lifting the front end up from the center cross support, the suspension only has about 1 1/2" of compression when I drop it down quickly (have a trolley jack, drops in half a turn of the handle) - need to soften the ride just a tad....

I figured that might be the case. Your droop is likely limited pretty good, and You should take a good hard look @ the jounce stop as well. For the best ride it should be just barely in contact @ rest. Some people use square tubing to close the gap, or add an additional pancake bump stop to do the same thing.

So these happened this afternoon. Oem NNBS DENALI 20s, scored them off Craigslist just down at the base of the mountain from a wheel and tire shop. Can't believe im,gonna be going with 20s soon. I was so against them for so long I guess because of ride quality. I've seen a few nbs denalis with the newer 20s and I really like the look. So im,gonna try it out when I can get new tires.
