1/2"-1" front level - what to get and any issues for a 2017 Yukon?

[cireallin]

I put a 1.5 level on the front of my 2wd Yukon and I think it looks perfect..Gives you a little more lift..Im running a 305/45/22 tire...Love the look..

Any rubbing with that size?

NO rubbing at all

Go with Bilstein 5100s. Great ride and can adjust the front up about 1.2”. Third groove on shock body. Will level the truck nicely.

Dumb question:
Ran across a set of 1/2" top spacers. Any pluses or minuses to top vs bottom spacers?

Just curious as the top spacers were much more expensive (2-3x the cost of similar bottom spacers) and I've only ever seen the one set for sale but legions of bottom spacers.

How does it ride set at this height? Some people say it rides terrible and I just don't see how it couldn't ride good that way?

I asked the same question a long time ago. I never got a compelling answer about the difference, other than cost. I installed the ones on the bottom, I haven't had any issues and will keep them installed until I have to replace the shocks with adjustable ones. A bonus was they were easier to install because you didn't have to access the top of the strut.

Okay, thanks.

Makes no difference to me as I'll be installing Bilstein HD's when I do it so the strut/mount/coil will be apart any way.
