I bought an '08 Yukon SLT with 3k miles a couple of months ago and have been stalking the site since. I've done 24" black Elite Carnals with polished stainless lips, a Denali grille, 6k HID's, xrail delete, 75% front tint, and ordered a SLP tip today. Also worked out a deal with the dealer to remove the moulding in the next week or so.

I am ordering a Belltech 2/3-4 kit from Tony @TBSS next week. I pull the boat pictured below most weekends and want to do Helper Bags. To the point, What is the best source and brand for the bags?

Thanks!

Thanks Mike!

I had every intention of removing them myself. The door mouldings seem to be discolored, so I went by the dealer's to see if they would warranty new ones if I didn't like it de-moulded. They said warranty wouldn't replace the mouldings, but they would repaint them. They offered to remove them, kind of a partial warranty job and we would work out the details if I wanted those or new ones re-applied. I was like sure! I've never done it and it will save me some time.

I really do think that I will like it de-moulded. Especially after it is dropped a little.

No problem man. Well if thats the deal then, i would go ahead with the dealer also then. Save some arm and fingers. B/c peeling them off isnt fun... And at least if you dont like it, you can just say give me the moudlings and i'll put them on and dont until you want to..

Just a heads up JNKING15. I have a Beltech lowing kit, and my auto shop ordered the AirLift 1000 bags part# 60769 (size 4.9"x10") They tryed installing it on my SUV but could not cuase the beltech spring has a smaller interior diameter then the stock spring (maybe my local shop didnt try hard enuff??). I called Airlift and they suggested Part# 60779 (size 4.35"x9") But They could not garentee that it would work in my setup.

The link to Jegs is part# 60759 - so im not sure what size of bags that is.

Im looking for a solution also. Does Anyone know what the interieor dimensions of the beltech 5305 Spring is?

Thanks Conor. I love Malibus too, this is my third one.

I have ordered the Belltech kit from Tony @TBSS and the helper bags elsewhere. I got the Air Lift 1000 part #60769. Hope everything works out. I watched an install video on youtube and the guy deflated the bag and stuffed the bag in with a tire iron.
