Randeez 2012 Budget Yukon Denali Build (stick on hood scoops galore)

maybe ill weigh it all out when the lowers come in ...only seen one or two other people swap it all over and claim it was around 50lb in savings but seems like more.

each piece is easily less than half the weight of its iron counter part

That would definitely be cool to know the actual weight savings... I know I would appreciate the effort.

started the return process with them sending replacement part but they ask abunch of questions lol. i'll just return for refund whichever i dont want, or all of them and i'll order a different brand

shoulve started this like uh... 4 months ago when i had time to.

thought i was getting close to frame paint, rolled underneath to take a look got probably the rest of today just scraping and removing wax.

soaked/wire brushed/cleaned all the hardware for the control arms, alignment bolts, crossmember braces, front axle mounts, wheel hub bolts(still need to clean hub/bearing and backing plates)

Aluminum on left, iron on right... saves 23lbs a side unsprung weight.
lower control arm
upper control arm
spindle > compared to belltech drop spindle, not sure what stock weigh



One of the lower controls arms came...blue boot, kinda rough finish lol.
