1" or 1.5" Front Level 2017 Yukon Denali

Last picture.
I need to get pics of how it sits now at 1.25"

Now I need to get the thing aligned. Made an appointment with les schwab and those mega-******* would not do an alignment on "modified suspension" WTF? Those clowns put lifts on everything, company policy man.... Oh well, off the top of my head i have 7 vehicles between my personal and my company trucks, inducing a 10 wheel bobtail, that have schwabby tires on them, they have indeed lost a customer.

Looks good to me!
And it's funny how one bad experience or employee can make you entirely write off the company as a whole. I'm the same way. Had a similar experience ordering "larger than oem" tires through Costco.
Stupid policies like that make no sense. But ultimately that's their job/policy, so I'll go elsewhere.

Ive done that same thing at a discount tire. Byyyyye.

Nice setup mobilehomie!

At the end of the day, you should put the coilover spring in spring compressor before you adjust the collar. There is just too much preload on the springs to adjust.

My 2015 had one side that the arms/knuckle drooped enough for shock installs, and the other side does not. Its a pita.

A friends Denali has the same issue. I wonder if it’s a frame thing, or an arm design thing, or how they tighten the lca from the factory where one side is bound and the other isn’t. Swapping in new upper control arms didn’t change anything

I should pull the bolts on the lca before the next alignment just to see if it loosens anything.

Can you post your “center of wheel to fender lip” heights? That way we can all compare what the ride height is and the tire size does not effect it.

Curious to see how much level you are running

Fifty, I will try to get hub to top of fenderwell measurement. I should also get pictures of how it sits now. Ground to top of fenderwell is 1/4" lower in the front. Before I started top of fenderwell was 1-1/2" lower than the rear.

I did go with the Fox coil over replacements.

How would you compare the ride quality to the oem? Did you ever find a place to do your alignment?

I personally couldnt really tell much of a difference. Was kind of difficult to judge though because we were driving around for a bit with blown stock units. But what i could remember from the first 75k miles, the ride/performance really didnt seem to be all that different when changing to the fox units.

I feel like there is a little more body roll and will most likely upgrade the sway bars in the next few months.
All things considered, I would still do the coil overs vs spacer though.

I found an independent shop and am scheduled for this coming friday for an alignment.

Good morning all, I am bumping this thread to express my displeasure with the FOX 2.0 Adjustable shock assemblies.
The photos above show I installed them in October of '23, now in June '24 they are leaking.
Yesterday I installled a new Hellwig front sway bar and to do so removed the front wheels. Much to my disapointment I found these fox coil overs leaking.
Fox tells me to contact the vendor that sold them, Summit tells me they have to send back to fox for evaluation and rebuild. This will not work as the Yukon is one of my daily drivers. I have wasted $750 per shock and need to decide what to replace them with. I do like the 1" lift to level the rake and am eye balling these Bilsteins...



I recently replace the leaking OE rear shocks with Arnott MR-3626

and am not happy with the ride, I don't even think they work. The old bounce the rear bumper test bounces comes to rest on the third rebound. Summit did say they would work with me on the Arnotts and get me a refund.​

Kings are the way to go but they’re very expensive which is why I ain’t got them yet. I have icon coil overs and there ok but they ride stiffer then what fox or kings do
I might could revalve the icons and change the oil and get a better ride but I haven’t found anyone in nc who will revalve and rebuild shocks.

ps I saved my old struts for both my trucks just so whenever I would have to mess with the shocks I would have something to throw on to get me by until I got them back from the shop if you plan to keep on the coil over route I would atleast go find some decent ones out the scrap yard to have in the garage just for cases like this because I’m the same way it is my Dailey driver so I can’t afford to go down on a vehicle
