revamping my 2001 yukon

[1lowhoe04]

its all drop kit DJM
3/5kit to start
then 2500HD torsion keys installed decranked all the way
then rear bump stop bracket cut out and then rear springs road ruff to start with and said to hell and cut about 4 and a half loops out and brought it down more
and now the ride feels much better ! still rides like a lowered truck i am use to it but kinda rough around city hwy smooth and you can see i am able to pull a 25 foot flat bed car hauler with a maro on it
and my alignment i have negative camber in front but i am lined out good drives straight
and it does not chew up my tires at all

oh and yes i drive it everyday all day
but next here soon i am putting a super step notch in it and raising my spring cup bracket and mounting a set of air bags to run in the rear so ill be half bagged in rear

Nicely done!

I need to get myself a compressor so my wife can paint mine. She took auto-body classes so she tells me "it's impossible to get a good paint job without a booth!". This just proved her wrong!

I really want to lower mine after seeing yours. I just can't justify it with the 12-20" snow we sometimes get over-night though. Makes me jealous!

^^^chevy_man...I know you're only 23 but you may wanna be careful how you approach her being so wrong. I'd probably choose something more important before pullng out the 'you're wrong' card

Yea, just spent 30 minutes of work time skimming through your thread. You have made some great progress. I really like how your truck has came out. I am really considering the denali front end conversion now.

Eh, it's all good. We're married with one kiddo already, another on the way. She's not going anywhere.

I hear you though, proving her wrong just makes her more right.

well don't let her read this because she is wrong you can get a wonderful paint job in the garage you will get some dirt on it but you can always wet sand and polish, and to solve the snow problem you will need to bag your truck. lol
