Gears, Lift, 22's and 35's

[Jdeshler]

RPMs look great at cruise and the lift looks killer on it. Well done! Now just to clean up the body a little and its done. Headlight update and finish cleaning molding removal along with pin stripe.

Im going to paint it before long, the paint is getting pretty rough.. I'm planning a pod/color update with the headlights.. it'll all be under this thread fo sho..

Jesus man. Nice job! Total motivation for mine. Getting the funds together now for it. Props for doin the damn thing on your own too. We all take that much more pride in our stuff if we do it on our own.

So, I spent more on this crap than the trucks worth.

I have a 2001 Yukon that I purchased 7 years ago. I bought it with 170k and now have 318k, been a good truck needless to say(replaced transmission 10k m ago).














These 4:56's cost as much as the lift after labor and master bearing kit.. (The only thing I'll be outsourcing)

Came across some pictures from regearin my hoe with 5.13's. Figured I'd share them.


Had to use half my floor jack handle bolted to my flange and tied to the control arm while I used the other half as a cheater pipe on a ratchet to get enough leverage to preload the damn thing


The backlash specs are .003-.010. (Preferred is .005-.007) I ended up with a backlash reading of .0056. Can't get much better than that!

That's making me regret paying to have mine done.. There isn't much I will let anyone else do on any of my vehicles.. I'm a machinist so I have all the indicators that would be needed.... Maybe next time

Yeah nothin you couldn't handle then and hell you've got all the fun toys too bein a machinist! When you regear to anything 4.56 and bigger I believe it is you have to modify your axle cross pin to slide by the ring gear teeth unless you buy a special one.

Great work you did there Jd. Man, I'm about to let my 04 kon go (bought an 15 burb) and may can help you out with the headlights. Have a set of retrofitted Denali lights and trust me, you would LOVE that light output.
Maybe 01Konvict is willing to answer any questions you may have about them. He build them a while back. I love em and would hate to see them go across the border or who knows.!
gl with all.

The black halos were a straight waste of money, they are terrible at night

Do you want to sell them? Thinkin the black halos will look dope on my 58u sandalwood metallic paint.

What's your number? Something low...
Are the lights LED, requiring any extra parts or nutty wiring? I need plug&play.
