Gears, Lift, 22's and 35's

[Maic]

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.

Mostly plug & play. those are HID's not led. Gotta give Jd a chance to reply first. I paid $428 used for the setup, that gives you an ruff idea.
Now, let's not hijack his threat no more.

Whoever buys the lights from @Maic is getting a great set. OEM GM Denali headlight housings with Morimoto mini H1 with older style restrictor plate for more foreground lighting. This helps with lifted trucks over distance throw for cars. They did have silverstar highs in them and assume there still burning. The lows were 35 watt ballasts 5k xb35 bulbs. The entire thing is pretty much plug and play with exception of grounding low beam so the bixenon function works keeping HIDs on while high beam halogen kick on. The output is truly great!

I got a question for you guys, if you use 17's on 33's or 35's instead of 20's with 33's or 35's would you still need to change the gears ?

 

[M1Gunner]

Yes. Rim diameter doesn't play a part in that equation. It's all about outside tire diameter when it comes to gear ratio.

The profile of the tire will effect ride quality.

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)

6in suspension 3in body.

I've since added brackets to tuck my torsion bars back inside the frame. Those torsion bars were an eyesore let alone the crossmember would leave you high centered...

Looks good. I really like the ranch hand for the Tahoe

I agree the lines from the Ranch Hand match up great with these trucks. Can't say the same for the nnbs or the cat eye front ends.

I had to fabricate my own brackets to be able to remount it on my hoe after the body lift though. There was short period that I didn't have it on and the thing just looked naked without it lol

This truck still runs like a dream.. It drops one gear jumps 5-600 rpms and climbs steep grades with ease.. at 250k I would expect to go through the ac, put on an alternator, put in a fuel pump, heater core then go 150k more!
