2013 Yukon xl Project in the works

[DirtyMoney12]

just bought the wife a 2013 Yukon xl ive got 2nd child on the way so needed something a little bigger. my plans for this is 7.5 inch mcgaughys lift with 20x12 American force faceplates which I ordered last week so should be here in a month. and just finishing up the build on the headlights should look killer when im finished. here are just a couple photos of how it sits abd will post more pics as the parts come in and get installed let me know what yall think

Should look bad ass with the huge lift!

That's a decent lift and looked into getting it also but decided on FTS. Be prepared for those 20x12s to smash the front bumper and running boards. I would stick to a 305/55R20 tire to minimize the cutting. The front track width increase from that lift and that offset on the wheels is the main cause of the trimming problem. Probably want to get some 1.5-2" rear spacers to make it look the same track width. The front bumper has a bracket inside the tire that is required to hold the shape of the bumper and from moving. I'm thinking you will have to figure out how to make a new bracket and cut the bumper pretty heavy to clear from rubbing. I'm in for seeing this build! I want to step my x10 up to x12 just not sure it will clear. It's going to look bad ass for sure!

thanks 01Konvict I plan on running a 33x1250x20 or maybe 275/65/20 not exactly sure yet but my boss has a suburban on a 4 inch with 33s on a 20x9 I believe seems to fit well. so I guess well see what I end up with. I will also look into that size tire and appreciate the feedback and info I am pretty stocked about getting this project finished

Look into the 33x12.50 but I prefer the 305/55 on a x12 as it doesn't look as stretched plus is a little taller. That 275 will be hella stretched on a x12!!! That would look like a rice stance car /--\. I really like the CST 4" and Rancho 4" (measures 5.5") for a mild good lift running 33s. I'm down to see the finished product!

Headlights look good.... are you going to leave them black or PTM?

Didn't realize you were in MD. Or at least your boss's Burb has MD tags. Lol. Don't see too many lifted or lowered Burbs around here. I'm lowered pretty low, but still enjoy checking out the lifted NNBS SUV's on the rare occasions I see them. Keep the pics coming as your build progresses! BTW, if you don't mind me asking, where abouts in MD are you guys at? I'm in Carroll County.

Well the Toyo M/Ts are great tires and I tested the R/Ts. The M/T has the look but the R/T does also. Don't let the pics on their website fool you. The R/T has a 45k warranty and super quiet! Think both are made in 33x12.50R20 so either will work for your ride. I think they measure out to be 33.2 and the 305s from Nitto measure out around 33.5. Can't wait to see the progress pics!
