5/6 Drop on 01 Yukon...installed and HAPPY.

[sicksilverado]

I bought the 5/6 kit from Tony. I hadn't really drove the Yukon much before the drop, but I do remember it feeling top heavy and unstable. The kit went in without much problems. Had to go to the next town to buy a few tools but that was the only hold up(18mm sockets, 21mm sockets, pickle fork). Took me about 2 afternoons to install it. I also threw in the Spohn panhard bar(bought from Tony aswell) and some AirLift bags in the rear. My first impression....WOW. I loved the stance. Tony warned me before I bought the kit that my tires would be too tall and he was right. I ended up buying the size he recommended and it worked out pefectly. My family and I hopped in the truck and took a long trip to the next big town and the ride was way different than stock. The truck felt more sturdy and more "in control". The top heavy feeling was gone. Felt like the truck hugged the road. I've gotten plenty of compliments on the stance. My wife loves it too so I'm really happy about that. It doesn't ride too stiff, I'd say it's just right. We loaded up groceries in the back the other day and it rode perfect. Hasn't bottomed out yet. I had two other lowered trucks that used to bottom out or scrub tires on the streets we travel, so we are happy with how this one handles. Thanks Tony. I'll post pics when I get a chance to wash the truck.

The belltech sp shocks in front with the djm a arms do ride nice and in rear my 6" rear drop springs have by far been the best riding on the feedback ive been getting. There are guys that went from the 5305 coils to these with spacers and the belltech rear sp shocks and like the ride a lot also.

What size tires did you put on that thing front must be slammed at 5"!!

Not a very good pic. I paid $1600 for a paintjob from the local painter and lets just say I wasn't happy. The keys were cranked up a bit in the pic but are cranked down now to fix the chevy lean.
EDIT: Sorry its sideways.
