I think I posted in here a while back but it has since changed I'm sure.
Supreme suspensions keys passenger side installed on drivers side. 285/70r17 Gladiator M/Ts on 17x8 Jegs d-windows w/ gmt800 chrome center caps. Stock in rear wanting z71 springs.

I think I know why it sits so low in the rear but I'm not definitely sure on it but my truck did not have tow package from factory. My bosses Yukon and mine have the same measurements up front but mine sits lower in the rear. His is 2wd with tow package and mine is 4wd with out. He's got lift keys as well.

There are 3 different shock setups for these trucks. The Std., The "Premium Ride" code: ZW7 - self adjusting Nivomats, and The Air setup.

I had the Nivomats which required me to change shocks when I added the Z71 springs, the springs that come with the Nivomats are shorter than the Std. ones.

I sit at 40.5" with 285/70/17's currently, but I have a 2" poly spacer in there too.

I'll have to check why I have. I just thought it was weird that my 4wd sits lower than a 2wd. I figured it was the tow package. Thanks for the info I'll look into it more.

Just installed one of my N-fab's today, the other one has to wait until I get the a/c line fixed due to a drill bit deciding to give it a kiss. Not sure if I like how it makes it look less tall but it's still huge in person. Any thoughts?View attachment 61533

I definitely like it better without the N-fabs. They do make it look a little lower and it was pretty much perfect before. However when you go higher I think they will look better (and will be helpful for getting into a high truck).

My wife has complained a bit about getting into mine, and I've considered spacing the stock nerf bars down maybe 1/2". Although it's not going to help the look of the truck.

Keys in the front, Z71 coils and 2" steel spacers in the rear. Sitting at 40 1/2" all the way around, but the front of the UCAs are pretty much resting on the stops, while the back of the UCAs have almost 3/4" of clearance. Might decrank the front 2 turns, see how she sits. Have 285/75/16's, and they look tiny! May have to consider 315's.

I had the same issue with my 285/70/17's, added a 2" spacer and made my stance ALOT Better!

I've got a set of spacers, 1 1/2" for the front, 2 1/2" for the rear. I had them on my '96 Tahoe when I had 20's with factory backspacing, they were in WAAAYY too far in the wheelwell.

The rims shown have 1 1/4" (31mm) less offset than factory, they are just inside the fender in the front, and pretty much flush with the back. 315's, while also being 2" taller, are also 30mm wider (again, just about 1 1/4") - I'd have half that extra width inside the wheel, and half outside the wheel....

Pretty damn good rationalization for me to tell the wife I need new tires, ain't it?
