I'm looking to lift and level my wife's 07 Yukon.
But I don't want to lift it much.
We tow with it, and she is kind of short so I don't want to make it hard for her to get in to it.

Looking for something that will level it out, and lift it like 1-2". But I want to keep the stock Nivomat rear shocks. I like that they will level the truck out when we tow.

Whats out there that is good? And will not give me any problems like vibrations, or binding.

Thanks.

if she is short, leave it stock because you will never hear the end of how you made HER truck they way you want it.

She asked me to lift it a bit. She thinks it looks funny because the front is so much lower then the rear.
We also need to add some off road tires to it. We pull a trailer with our Jeep on it to the off road park all the time and the street tires it has on it now have a hard time.

I just ordered new rear shocks for it because the stock ones are getting weak.

Also want to replace the stock 20" rims with something a little smaller. Thinking 18s or 17s.

I'm thinking like 1" lift in the back and 2" in the front.

Nothing to crazy. Just to make it a little bit easier to get in and out of the off road park. and make it look a little better for her.

Still looking for a good kit.

Need something with shock extenders for the rear.
But not finding any thing that will only extend the rear shocks around an inch.

Looking at like 2.5" front lift and 1 to 1.25" rear.
Don't want any problems with vibrations or any thing like that.
Just need to be able to keep from dragging the front bumper going in and out of the off road parks.

Thanks guys.

If she is short I hear 44 bloggers on a 15 in custom lift lol. There's a guy with a dealer here like that in a hummer lol. But on a non douche way I'd say just a level and better wheels and tires

Are you looking to stick bigger tires on there? They have a Bilstien 5100 that lifts the Front 1.75. This give you enough clearance for a 32" tire. I am actually about to buy the CCM lift kit $144 delivered for my 2010 Hoe. I called CCM Offroad and verified all the information the lift gives 2.5 in front and 1 in the rear. Other kits are double this price with the same stuff. i have called about four other companies and sad enough they all give me the same answer "all the kits are the same" you are paying for reputation and name when you buy things now a days.

I did 2.5/1.5 with 33" tires on my avalanche and there are no vibrations. It's a daily driver so it's just the right height.
