what shocks are you running in the rear? still AR stockers? should get some bouncy relief from the helper bags setup as others have said...or consider a shock change and add the resistors to get rid of the AR CEL.

After I took out the rear bump stops...this is how low the entire truck sits....
The front is LIFTED as high as it will go via torsion bar crank..the bolt is maxed out..all the way up...so the front end can still go MUCH lower!

I still dont like how much the back end bounces...even after the free travel mod...will helper bags help in ride quality?


lemme know what you guys think about how it turned out.......





so how many inches is it droped in the front an back i want my yukon to sit just like it

Ya I dont see where you listed the springs you have...looks like a 3/5 kit man. Are you saying you're running a 2/4?

For the bounce, try DJM shock relos and some BellTech Street Performance shocks, part number 2412FF. Ride is very improved with the stiffer shocks sitting at a better angle. I don't bottom out at all to the rear fender and trust me there's not much room there :)

Im not exactly sure...Do you have a tape measure?



From the fender lip to the ground

32 1/4 inches - Front
33 1/4 inches - Rear

Could you check yours to see what it is stock? I'd like to know how much of a drop I got as well

Sorry bout that...yes, your right..I used the Mcgaughys 3/5 drop. With this kit, I got;


**REAR**
5 inch drop coils

Trailing arm relocating brackets

Drop shocks to replace my stock air shocks (they are shorter to fit the drop correctly)

New sway bar endlinks



**FRONT**

2 inch drop spindles

New Torsion Keys


Got my setup from 55belairtim

For what it's worth, I started rubbing my rear fender after 3 mos of those rear shocks. When i took them off, they were mush and I realized why my ride quality had diminished.

:waytogo: on Tim though, top notch guy
