    2009 Chevrolet Suburban suspension advice.

    @Tired_One I recommend doing it all in one go because you have to go pretty far in there just to do the struts as it is. Could you please post a lot of pictures of your current suspension so we can give you the best advice?

    Experience with Dobinsons rear coils?

    @bobsburban At that height you might be reaching the effective range of the factory height suspension. When I lifted the rear of my Tahoe, after a certain point the ride got really bad, I remedied that with rear shock extenders to bring the rear shocks back into their operating range so that...

    2008 tahoe 5.3l afm/dod delete issue

    Strange problem to have multiple injectors fail at the same time. I would investigate what the injectors have in common like wiring or ground

    Could just be bad gas, I would drive that tank down and fill it with premium see if it helps

    Engine and gearbox swap from four speed to six or eight speed on 2008 Z71 ?

    My opinion of this generation of Tahoe is that you are probably better off keeping the 4l60e. You got 300+k out of the 4l60e which is a more than most people get out of their 6l80e. Just my thoughts

    I would get all the facts straight so that we are working with good information, like what parts he used and if you engine even has VVT. Verifying the timing chain is installed right isn't too hard but you might need to do that and go back through your motor yourself to see if everything is...

    Yet another Yukon with engine tick and low oil pressure

    That doesn't sound great.

    Yet another Yukon with engine tick and low oil pressure

    Not saying the shop did anything wrong but this is why I do my work myself so that I know what happened, the good and the bad. Because when you continue to have a problem you have to go back to the shop and ask "Hey did you replace the VLOM or how did the pickup tube screen look?"

    2010 Yukon XL Body Shifting Under Braking

    I would go though the brakes again and makes sure all the caliper sliding bolts are clean and don't have to much grease on them and replace your brake hoses if they haven't been serviced in a while you could have a restriction in the brake hose

    Shocks and spacers

    @Yukon2007 Those should be ok. Might be worth the money to bump up to bilstein shocks I havne't heard good things about Ranchos

    Just enjoy it, keep up in the maintenance and fix things as they break

    Shocks and spacers

    @Yukon2007 All lift is achieved from longer springs or spring spacers. If you plan on lifting it 2 inches I recommend buying shocks that are designed for lifted Tahoes or use shock extension brackets. If you use stock height shocks with a lift the shocks will not perform very well
