Anyway Yeah happy with talk about springs! I want my new bushes pressed in as the original ones are perishing and I question their ability to support the rest of the Suspension laterally. Patiently waiting for new shocks

I've never used tapa talk, I'm strictly on my phone. This new format threw me for a loop, but I'm trying to get used to it.

Hey I've just found a pic of a 97 2door grill from earlier this year.
This is kinda what mine will look. Mine will have chrome surround inset and gloss black around the red GMC. Matte black inset/gloss black outer.

Should look good.

Reminds of my brother’s red 1995 2 door Yukon 4x4.

Hi
So bit of an update.
The boss had a couple of free wheel alignment vouchers he needed to use up so we took his van and the Yukon down and got a Free alignment.
This is how it came back. They had to measure the beast up to make sure it would fit on operating table! Then had to adjust all of the parameters. As you can see alignment was way out. Camber still is. Apparently I need some eccentric bolts to adjust the camber correctly. I had wound it down 1" so maybe that could have made all the difference.
Anyway is a huge improvement from me replacing a steering tie rod and just eye ******* it until now.
New shocks are in the country since the 14th but stuck in customs so hopefully I get them soon.
Cant wait!!!
The old ones are like rubber bands

Alright here we go. New springs arrived from Summit Racing. Took 12 days from the states to New Zealand. Pretty good. Lol then 14 days in customs
Not so good. Any way they are going in now!!
Shouldn't take long. Have just noticed tho,I have to disconnect one side of the swaybar to get the bolt out on drivers rear. Hold that thought! May not take long hahahaha
