They are H and R super sport 3" lowering springs. All they did was add springs

Another option you have would be to add is a 2 inch lift spacer but the back of the truck will sit way higher. If you want it to ride well and be this low few things need to be done.


First of all it will ride bad because the springs cant support 1000 lbs and they didnt do the free trael mod. They didnt use shock extenders and they are using stock shocks.

First things first you need to cut the bracket off the frame and get shock extenders and a few other things. That being said when you do the free travel mod (cutting bracket off frame) truck will come down more in rear. TO make that truck better after that

1) Get shock extenders
2) Will need new bumsptops after you cut bracket off frame
3) And i would do the djm endlinks to fix the horrible swaybar angle you have now which wont help especailly with 1000 lbs in rear

Total shipped to your door for endlinks/bumpstops/extenders $175

Then get the Airlift 60742 shoudl fit inside the coils you have now. Those run like 70 to 80 online.


Now you would do what I said above and pump up the airbags but do do the H&R design I would see if they woudl take the springs back and I would do the suburban belltech 2 inch drop springs. The Spring rate on those are stronger and you can use the same helper bags inside those coils. You will see once you put the helper bags in the current springs you have you will have to pump them up so much that the ride will suffer.


Either way you look at it the rear of that truck is not set up right at this point for what your doing. If you want it to ride better you will need to do a few things first.

so, if I lower my Yukon on the cheap it will ride like crap?

keys in front for 2 inches yes will suffer on ride thats why I do on spindles.

in rear Free travel mod for 3 or more drop will make it ride better
Shock extenders and belltech springs are the way to go in rear.

Here is the kit that is proven many times on here that ive done

I wonder what shocks are those?

Rear need shock extenders

im looking at your bumpstop to axle and there is not that much clearance. I would pull them out and cut them down about 1 inch.

Right now the rear shocks are compressed no extenders and i bet those shocks arent made for lowering. pull off rear bumpstops cut them down and then do the rear shock extenders/belltech sp shocks. I sell them for $200 shipped to your door and that would be a good starting point along with cutting off the bumpstops
