Replacement Shocks

[1xd5]

Rear sounds good man and the stock sway bar links should still fit with that.
The front may nose dive a bit I remember before I could afford the tool to remove torsion keys it was easier to put in drop shackles in my trucks to reverse level them but you can’t do that as cheap in the Tahoes.
I had my stock keys cranked up and it rode like a tank most the time it would be better to get some lift keys and leave them I cranked so it’ll ride better there’s some cheap options on Amazon just read the reviews good so you don’t get a set that don’t actually work..

Sounds good , thank you. Also, just to be sure, you know this is going on an 06 Yukon Denali XL right? Just want to make sure in case you thought it was going on something else.

The rear Suspensions are the same from 2000-2018 or newer the eletronics change but the base suspension parts (trailing arms sway bars springs links drop brackets panhard bar) is all interchangeable for the most part and the same goes for the Silverado I’ve crossed rear lifts from 07 on a 2001 and off a 2018 on my 07 and the front lift off a 2018 Silverado on my 07 Tahoe.

This is my first GM, and I researched quite a bit before buying into the gmt800 platform. It was gmt800 or pre 2010 6.2L gmt900, mainly wanted to avoid AFM. I have a lot to learn! Rig has treated me well so far, going on a year of owning it, was a 1 owner 173k miles when I bought it. Been working on cleaning it up little by little. Here are some pix , and thanks again for all the info!

What do you think about what this person said about adding a pad on the LCA to remedy the harsh ride ?

"The only reason turning your keys a bit will be harsh is because you leave the jounce stops. Easily remedied with a pad on the LCA.

Angles won't be prefect, but if the goal is 33s, a little crank will easily get there without remotely getting into trouble.

The autoride point is fair, but also fairly easily remedied with a few options. "

Should be fine I’ve never installed new bump stops so I can’t speak from experience but I’m sure it would help the ride

Sorry to bug ya again. I see many go with the Bilstein 4600's instead of the 5100''s. What would be the difference ?

 

[Trey Hardy]

I think the 4600 is more of a stock option of bilsteins being softer shocks
Where the 5100 are more for off-road or lifted applications towing etc they will ride a bit firmer but still ride good

Alright so I installed the rear 5100's and Moog springs! got enough lift and tires don't rub any longer! Now I have a question about the front.

Do stock front shocks stop the torsion keys from lifting the front more? I noticed my driver side torsion key was tightened a lot more than my passenger side (bought it like this), so today I did 3 full turns on both sides, driver Side has maybe 1 full turn before maxing out, and passenger side has plenty more to go, but the rig isn't as lifted as I heard some say you can go with stock keys, so I'm wondering if the stock shocks are "stoping" it from going higher ? I have the 5100's for the front and I'm wondering if I remove the stock shocks and install the 5100's , will that lift the truck more without turning the keys more? not sure if it works like that. Thank you ahead of time!

I attached a before and after.

I went ahead and ordered the torsion keys. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a gap between the front bump stops and LCA , so like I said before I'm planning to add a pad on the LCA. What do you think? Here's a link of someone who's done it, they said their ride was much better. I attached a pic as well. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/front-jounce-bumpers.136901/
