Looking to remove the rough country 2" front spacer and my moog HD springs and go back to a street setup. Also considering the McNaughtys 2" drop springs out back.

Can I keep the 275/60s on factory front ride height? i can live with a bit of rubbing at full lock or weird angles, but the tires are still in decent shape and probably have another year 10-15K miles left before I would thnk out replacing them with 275/55s..

Also, if I were to drop the rear would I be ok with the AC Delco 540-433 blue shocks since they will have the relocation brackets?

I have the ZW7 option but NON-Nivomat rear shocks. Had the blue ones from the factory.

If you turn your front wheels now do you see 2” of space? I can’t recall the stock tire size but I don’t think you’re far from it. Replacing the rear shocks with stock and extenders should be fine.

I had 275/60x20 Goodyear Wrangler SR-A tires on my 07 Yukon XL Denali, before I upgraded to 305/50x20 Michelin Defender tires. The original stock tire size was 275/55x20.

Before I purchased this truck, the original suspension was modified to remove the rear air assist leveling, and it now uses standard coils and shocks. To my knowledge, the stock ride height was maintained in this conversion.

I have no rubbing with either of these tire sizes.

My 2006 is on completely stock suspension. And I ride with a 275/60 nitto dura grappler on my 20s and I have zero rubbing. My tires clear perfectly fine.
