So I have a limited amount of money to spend on the Yukon's suspension. 1 grand.

I have a noise in the front sounding like a can crunching when I go over speed bumps at cold temps. That needs to be gone.

I also want a 2/3 or lower drop to complete the look with the upcoming mods.

This is what I'm thinking. Also should I throw a swaybar in there?

Also are these the shocks the whole modded blazed and tony feud was about if these are then I am definitely staying away from these.

I wouldn't do sways it affects the ride and gives you a straight axle feeling.
As for the sound in the front I experience something similar in my car and my moms in cold cold weather. I've diagnosed it to be the sway bar rubbing against the bushing and have greased the brushing to no avail.

Also yes those are shocks.
Eibach springs is what absolut uses so they should be good. But I wouldn't change front springs without changing shocks or they'll crap out quickly.

I might even take my sways off soon.
I say that but then I go take a turn and think thank god I have these. But they might be causing me more discomfort than I know.

Alright thanks bro.

So Belltech is out.

The sway bar bushing just needs to be re-greased I'm guessing?

Yeah I'll be going with Eibach springs now that AP uses them and my Jeep will be lowered on Eibachs and basically everyone with a Jeep SRT has them...

What shocks could I buy to not have them go out pre-maturely?

Lastly, are the firestone air bags worth it?

Alright I won't.

Can anyone give me a link to achieve my desired drop level?
