Picked up the Yukon last night after the 4” front , 3” rear ReadyLIFT SST lift install. Was going to wait to post until I could get better pics, but the sun isn’t supposed to come out for the next week plus around here, so good as it’s going to get for now, haha.
Overall I think it turned out good. Geometry of upper control arms look good, front diff is dropped. I think it looks noticeably taller than the 2.5/1 level I had on. Rides same, or I’d even say a bit better, than it did with the level.
Front fender openings measure out to 40” from ground, rear 40-3/4”. This is with 285 55 20 BFG KO2’s (wheels are 20x10 -24 offset by the way).
Upon after hours pick up I had a “steering assist is reduced” message on the gauge cluster display. Used my programmer to clear DTC’s and it cleared. Spent an hour crawling all over it when I got it home. One UCA ball joint won’t take grease, I’ll try replacing the zerk. New front diff skid plate actually tucked up under the plastic gravel guard, so no major cutting there, looks clean. On the rear I noticed the upper rubber coil spring isolators weren’t reused, the bump stop extensions weren’t installed, the diff to brake line spacer wasn’t installed, and the shock extension brackets were mounted on the bottom of the shocks instead of top. Shop had various reasons why they did what they did, don’t think they’re used to a customer who read the instructions front to back more than once, but in my career attention to technical details is important so I can’t help it. Will get that all worked out.
Now I have to resist going up to 305 55 20’s since my 285’s are new...
Onto the pics!
