I finnaly had time to drop my yukon today, I had a set of MGD spindals and got a set of MGD coil relocaters from Tims suspension online. The rear I got a belltech trailblazer spring and the DJM axle relocater and shock extenders from DJM Direct. All the parts went in great, the coil relocaters worked realy well in the front just swaped them out and reused the auto ride shock. I set the to a 1.5" drop but the can go down to 2". The truck rides great I shortened all of the autoride sensors and it seems to have worked realy well it still rides like its stock. I marked all the sensors at stock height and just realigned the marks after the drop. heres some crappy photos I too ill try get some better ones tomorrow.

That looks to be a clean install, also has your Yukonssitting just right!!
I like it!!
How is the ride now, your shocks look to be hella compressed even with the extenders?

The ride is really good, and the shock is actually in a realy good position maybe its the angle of the picture but it still has alot of travel and it keeps the springs from falling out when i jack up the frame and let the rear end sag. So far everything looks good hopefully the rear settles alittle more and when my rims get here it should sit just right.

Thanks Modded I suspected that, but was a little unclear. Now if someone can please explain the free travel method.

free travel mod you cut off the rear brackets.

The rear hands down the djm trailblazer springs with the rear djm kit thing will ride good. Anything else you need man give me a hollar.

BTW on your autoride did you measure before/after with the springs in.

Thanks for getting the axle relocater for me DJM Direct, and I did measure the height sensor in the first picture you can see a white mark on top of it when the two marks align the sensor is back at stock ride height. Thats how I did mines marked it at stock height then just realigned the marks using threaded rod after the drop it worked really well I left them alittle short so when the springs settle it should be perfect.

btw if you get another threaded rod you can make them shorter in turn lowering the truck more.
