How To Fit 35/12.5/20 Under 05 Yukon

[officerfrasher]

Newb with an 05 Yukon. What do I need to do to fit 35/12.5/20 in the wheel wells? Thanks.

A lift

Is that the only way? Body and/or suspension? How much lift? Thanks.

1. Keys cranked to the moon, 35s on stockers, trim
2. Keys, 3"bl, 35s on stockers, little trim
3. 6" knuckle susp lift, keys cranked, 35s on -offset wheels, trim
4. 6" full drop, flat angles or cranked, 35s -offset wheels, no trim

Thanks for the info. What do you mean by "full drop" in #4?

a lift that lowers the differential 4-6" instead of less and cranking to get the remaining lift.

I guess I need some Lifting 101. I don't understand lowering the diff. to get a lift. Sorry for being so dumb.

the front is an independent suspension. the center section is located to the chassis and the CV joints and stub axles move with the tires. A small lift like keys only lowers the wheels and therefore puts larger angles on the CV joints. whereas a larger lift includes brackets that move the wheels down AND the differential. This keeps the CV angles to a minimum and makes the lift much more stable and durable. It costs more that just keys or a body lift, but its the right way to do it and you wont break parts if your ******* it.

There are lots of posts on here about it.
