2006 GMC Yukon XL front ride height .

[Woodblocker55]

I just want it stock front height looks low in front . 34-36 inch to front fender center . And I see bumpers underneith are already resting on pad .
But I have HD rear suspension coils with regular stock shocks OEM .. looks like rear pushs front down. Do I just get frontend alignment and have them tighten torsion bars up a bit. Please advise.
Winter tires are 245 75r 16 and summer 265 70 17.
Will this cause issues with my alignment? Tire height is the same . 30.5 inch .

If by "bumpers underneith are already resting on pad" you mean that the front "jounce" stops are contacting the lower control arms, they SHOULD contact them. That point acts as a fulcrum in the front suspension.

Ok so that's right height .. might just need alignment. And full tank of fuel and mount the spare again . Has anyone just ground off that second latch that always gives me trouble on spare cable ?

When I put HD springs in the rear of my XL it looked the same as yours. I put a couple turns on the torsion bars and had it aligned. Heres how she sits now sitting on a slight incline.

Yes yours looks perfect . I will have to get spare back on and 1/2 tank gas and see how it's sitting .
Before alignment. But yes couple cranks on the torsion bars might get it where I want it. Is there any way to measure where yours is at. Like how much are the bolt stick it out. I'm in the rust belt but I have new rocker panels in the shed. Need to collect the rear panels yet.. Yours looks where I would like to get someday . Those fender flares look nice on there . Can you order them black ?
Mines 2006 GMC Yukon XL option 2 with 4:10 only missing the navigation radio. But came with towing HD suspension. Regular shocks but them rear springs are the heavy ones . Got lucky I didn't want to deal with any fancy air ride. But I have air bags to install in rear for towing . Thanks for the reply.

add bit more info . I found that Z71 roof rack and main thing I wanted to add lights for reverse on the back . But then I got searching online put the spare on top. And add some lights . And in an off-road forum I seen this guy added air horn were the spare was .
And used air pump for his rear air bags for towing . ( It was one of them 5 horn train incoming horns)
He had four big spot lights on front of the roof rack. Kind of look like a GMC Yukon XL Enduro If find the picture I'll have to post it. That's just another way to go.
