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

[M1Gunner]

Factory horns can be rebuilt? How do you do that? What can be repaired on them?

Here's a pretty good explanation

Let me know when you install these if they raise the truck up any. I'm lowered 2 inches in the front with Belltech spindles.

Will do.

Got the bumper finished and put it on, I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

Looks super good, it'd look sweet if you painted your lower valance too.

Bought this with a PayPal coupon for $37 so I can hook the tubing up to the OEM air box.

Ok now I don't want to hear any more about how bad your truck rides until you have new jounce stops in the front dammit! How long have I been telling you that you need these, a month? Come on man you're killing me!! You probably didn't add shock extenders to the rear either I suppose?

Took the Hoe on a 140 mile round trip today. On the turnpike took it up to 127! Was pulling fast and hard. Had a lot more peddle, but I didn't want to push my luck, plus my gf was with me! Lol
Side not: I'm not crazy how it rides now once I lowered it. Bounces too much, plus you feel everything. Maybe I'll eventually get spindles. If I do that, I'll have to put the stock keys back in. I wonder if I put Z71 front jounce stops in if it'll alleviate some of the bouncing. Opinions?

I think you need the spindles man, ive seen a couple post where norcal says not to do more than 1 inch on just the keys or it will ride like crap and also ive seen him say if you go more than 2 inch in the rear without the free travel mod it will also ride like crap, im not by any means an expert just what ive seen him say and just trying to help you out.

Yup, they're in there.

Yeah, I knew I should've done the spindles when I had a chance. I'm gonna keep an eye out for a used set. Idk if the rear travel mod will help me tho, I'm not hitting anything back there, just seems to bounce around more then I like while hitting a dip or bump. I put new bump stops back there that are shorter then stock.

The front jounce stops will make a big difference, the rear bump stops won't do anything. Have you checked your front and rear swaybar end links?

Installed a new color matched roof visor with LED marker lights and new 52'' curved LED lightbar...I still need to wire everything up

I did check them when it was in the air. Wouldn't hurt to change them. I looked on Amazon, and one of the options was for a 32 mm bar. Was that an option? Is there different sizes?

Since you're lowered now your swaybars aren't parallel to the ground (so they're not working right) unless you changed your endlinks. For the front you can go to Energy Suspensions website and look in their catalog under universal endlinks and it has instructions on how to measure and get the p/n's then you can order them on EBay or wherever. Sometimes your local auto parts will have them but you need the right length. In the rear, if you shorten them you'll have clearance issues with the panhard bar mount . Tony @NorCal sells DJM ones for the rear that solve that issue. Fronts are like $15, rear about $40 IIRC. Sorry to help you spend more $$ but if you don't change end links your swaybars aren't working very good, and you'll definitely notice the difference if you get them dialed in.

What's that have to do with swaybars and endlinks ? And why or how did you bend that?

Replied to wrong post but y'all were talkin about it. I went the other direction with my hoe 10inches of lift on 37's. We play hard off the asphalt. Came down a lil too ******* my left front and customized my bump mount.

 

[Fillerdust]

Got my jounce stops in. It's amazing what those little pieces of rubber do. Front end definitely feels more planted.

 

[MadDogDelpho]

^^ mmm tasty shocks...

 

[95escahoe]

Back to the jounce stops, what holds them in is there a bolt inside or what
