Hey guys, I just acquired a 2006 Yukon 1500 2WD and...

those are rear djm springs. Man horrible angle of that swaybar

 

[M Hankel]

Man, you probably have the worst of all the aftermarket parts on there. No wonder the ride isnt that great.

DJM rear springs dont have the best reputation for ride comfort, combine that with the absolute worst shock in the industry and yeah, it will ride bad.

What is your budget and are you even wanting to stay with a drop?

goes to show that spending the money up front for quality parts will save you money in the long run.
I have learned this lesson a dozen times.......and I will probably keep learning it over and over. I keep looking for that damn short cut!

That rear shock is the belltech nitro shock. thats another reason ride isnt that good. that shock is a big dip in performance vs the new sps.

What is your budget that you have to work with?

 

[SBK RACER]

I was hoping some $250 on the rear and maybe 200 on the front...

I do have the stock shocks too... But the stock spring were cut off...

before you do anything i woudl check to see how much space you have between the rear bumpstops and axle.

Why what are we looking for?

for travel. If your sitting on rear bumpstops then you need to cut them down or just cut the bracket off. That gives another 3 inches of clearance.

it doesnt matter what spring is in the truck if its sitting on bumpstops will ride horrible

 

[SBK RACER]

That is why I am thinking of going back to stock ride height... I prefer a ride that handles well, than a car that looks OK but handles like poop.

I understand that a SUV is not meant to handle like my BMW...

I do not live in the City with smooth streets, some roads here are bumpy, and the ride quality right now is not acceptable...

if thye didnt cut the oem bumpstops then it will ride bad that only takes 5 min to do
