20" x 9" rims w/ 5.5" backspacing OK for '03 Yukon?

rear looks like sticks out. But as long as you dont lower it will be fine.

Well, the light is coming in at an angle in that pic, but the tire is almost the exact same width as the outer fender. It doesn't stick out past the fender, but it's right there.

Tony, You think that 2" drop in back is OK?

as long as you keep the bumpstops in and not cut bracket will be fine.

I'll sit the suspension down on (or near) the bumpstops when I swap coils and see what it looks like and tune accordingly.

What are your thoughts on shorter swaybar links in back? Anything available for that 2" drop?


Thanks!

A shorter shock still does not compensate for a change in the angle. Been there done that.

Get extenders

Also Beltech springs I LOVE.

Their shocks are low pressure and feel mushy imo

They do not rebound fast enough on multiple bumps.

Running extenders on mine with OEM shocks totally changed the ride imo

When using stock length shocks.......... The use of extenders is a must even on a 2 inch drop. The angle changes. I did this on a 2 inch drop and used stock shocks for 6 months.

I added extenders and I could see where the dirt line cutoff. The angle and the ride changed.

most of the guys trucks have over 100k miles on the older trucks. high mileage id rather swap out shocks but if they cant do that extenders. Best woule be both but not many people want to spend over 400 on extenders/shocks/springs from belltech
