New member here, I recently purchased an 03 Yukon SLT and I can no longer resist the urge to slam it. I am new to the GM SUV world so I'm wondering how low I can take it and still clear 24x10 without rubbing issues. I was looking at the McGaughy's 3/5 kit but I think I'll want to go lower, and I know I'll want it level. I'm not opposed to piecing together a kit if it will get me a better stance/ride. Any input is appreciated.
How low can I go??

btw if you want to go lower i offer a 4/6 kit
front belltech spindles
front djm keys
front belltech camber kit
front belltech shocks
rear 5305 springs (you will need to cut)
rear belltech shocks
rear djm hardware kit
rear djm bumpstops
its about $200 more but will get you lower
Go with this kit! I had it on my xl and loved it!
I'm very hesitant to run drop LCAs, I've had a few bad experiences with them n have always run drop spindles and coils but have never had a torsion spring vehicle. Will the 4/6 drop clear 24s? Even if so it seems a bit high at over $1K...

on a torsion bar truck no issues at all and many people have bought kits from me here.
id do my 3/5 + honestly. with the 4/6 the 305 35 24 will rub hard in front. Usually the 4/6s i do i run a 295 30 24.
for the 4/6 kit for my price is actaully pretty good. Comes with the good belltech street performance shocks plus upper camber kit. Lots of people will try to sell a kit without shocks/camber kit. Price looks good but add in the belltech shocks all around and alignment kit and there goes another $300 bucks

Go with the spindles, keys, relocation kit, tb springs and alignment bushings. Norcalss pricing is good. I have all these items on my truck with new shocks and I have more than he charges in mine. If you have any questions about ride feel free to pm me. 5/5.5 drop 2000 nbs 2wd Yukon slt.

if you run spindles and keys for 3-4 inches yes you need the camber kit which are bushings that press in on the upper a arm.
rear kit is trailing arm relocators and also swaybar relocation kit with shorter endlinks.
the 3/5+ kit honestly I would do costs less and are no issues with alignment and comes with new balljoints. Either way just hollar since ive sold and installed both kits.
This is my xl before and after the 3/5.5 no issues at all with rubbing and i was running 24x10 305/35/24 and also have a 500 pound box in the back. it was also my DD.
