So its time to ditch these 265/70r17 Firestone tires that came with my Yukon XL and will be upgrading to 285/70r17 (33x11.5) tires. I already have the leveling kit installed so I hope i dont have much trouble with a 33" tire. I really want to fix the look of this Yukon and it looks pretty weak...
Not sure if anybody is going to respond or not.
But from my research take a look at the GMC / Chevy 1500 rear shocks. They are .75" longer than the yukon shocks and should set you up about right for your 1" block lift in the rear.

2. Check tires, if you notice uneven wearing / flat spots or feathering run your hand from front to back - should be smooth. Then run from Back to front if you feel a difference...

I sold my 2012 Mustang GT 5.0 w/ Eibach suspension lowered- and though I dont expect it to handle / accelerate like the mustang - the suspension needs a lot of...
Also by loosening the upper control arm bolt ( closest to the front of he vehicle) allowed me to get it in there with out any cutting of the bump stop or using a spring compressor ..
I attached the top of the strut first wtth the top rear 2 bolts lightly installed so the strut could pivot...
So I figured out what to do to get it in there!! Hopefully the solution helps others in the future!
I ended up loosening the upper control arm bolt. The bolt that is towards the front bumper can be loosened and pulled out giving you enough clearance to successfully get it in there!
Once I got...
Hey Guys, just bought a 2014 Yukon XL and trying to toughen it up a little more from its factory look.
