99 Yukon SLT 4x4-3" T-Keys/blocks OR 3" BL and why?

You can get a 3" BL for $144 on Summit right now, the rear brackets are another $79.

Really? Im going to the this evening and gonna order it thanks! I always thought it didnt include a rear bumper bracket because I see pics of other tahoes/yukons and the rear bumper is always in its stock height

Yeah they aren't included - see my post, they are an extra $79. Most don't opt for it, I would though if I did a body lift.

Thanks Chris for the tip! I just checked it out and you're rite, it comes with rear bracket and the front bumper can be raised with the stock bracket, gonna order today, hopefully have it installed within the next 2wks!

Thats true I see, I will buy them though, will probably get the gap guards too, i think it looks alot cleaner with the guards, are my running boards mounted on the body or the frame? Hmm, they must be lifted as well, otherwise they'll have to go lol

Careful, Im pretty sure there are no rear brackets available for the Tahoes/Yukons. Most of those rear brackets are for the trucks which have a different setup

ive got rear brackets on mine. everyone seems to think they dont exist but zone offroad makes em. 100 bucks at the time i didnt know how to do it without but if i did it now id jsut cut the frame end off and weld it higher. eather way you have the cut the end of the frame off. pretty easy install i can get you pictures of it if you need

yeah 3" summir bl and ive got 2inch block out back and i swaped in truck torsion bars. running 35x12.50 old style bfg mud terrains on 15x10 wagon wheels. ill snag some pictures when i get off work today

 

[knoslf]

great! U swapped out the t-bars? so what do you have now?

 

[purple 'hoe]

He swapped in truck t-bars from a 2500 OBS I believe.

If I were to lift a OBS truck on a budget, I'd just crank my bars, blocks and body lift it. This coming from someone who owned a OBS with a Superlift 6inch.

Also, invest in some good shocks. Your ride quality will suck with cranked t-bars, and rear blocks. Bilstein 5100's are a good choice. Wish I would have spent the money on them on mine.

why leave the obs seems everyone is now

i just put ones from a 1500. the 4dr tahoe for whatever reason are 52" while all the rest are 54". my stock bars were sagged and couldnt crank to level
