So with this Yukon I'm wanting to go strictly bolt on suspension that I can still untilize my factory 17" rims with my Cooper A/T tires that are brand new.
I found this. Opinions are wanted and suggestions are welcome. Maybe other lifts that you know of that stay within $1,600. I've got other things to buy for the weekend excursions.
Usually I would piece together a lift and or build my own parts at work on the Lazer and cnc. But don't have time.
This will be used as a daily driver and some minor overlanding on the weekends.

@ABN45 I recommend not lifting above 2.5 inches without a lower control arm drop kit, with that kit you will be stretching the suspension well outside of it's designed range.

How big are your tires?

Right now I have the stock 31's but I want to go max of 33 because of my stock gear set up of the 305's. I do not plan on regearing.

Do you have a lift in mind of not more than 4-5 inches? Thot about 6 but that's to much lift for that small of tire and 17" wheel

@ABN45 You only need about 2 inches of lift to fit 33's on factory wheels. Heck I'm not really lifted and I'm running 33's on factory wheels.

If you lift above 3 inches you might want aftermarket wheels or it will look like you are on stilts, aftermarket wheels with a wider offset will give you that "bigger" look instead of just "taller"

The only 4 inch kit I would mess with is the BDS one, it comes with all the supporting parts you need to keep the suspension in optimal geometry
