Anyone with a Yukon XL 4x4 5.3L care to measure from ground to center of fender wheel at all four wheels? I am convinced my Yukon is lower than stock height and I want to see if it is me, or my Yukon.

TIA

Driver Front - 35-1/4”
Passenger Front - 35-9/16”
Driver Rear - 37-1/8”
Passenger Rear - 37-1/8”

I have about 6k miles on the new front springs/structs and rear bolstering shocks. I am putting some heavier duty springs on the rear this week. I don’t like how it sags with a cooler and other stuff in the back.

Thank you. I guess mine just looks low. Everyone always comments on how it looks lower than factory and it does! Not sure why.

If you measure from the center of the wheel to the fenderwell; it eliminates the different tire options.

im literally here looking for this measurement lol...

my front keys are already partially cranked and Im trying to determine which rancho 9000 I need, I *need* a 2" longer ahock but they only make oem and 4" longer...

im trying to figure it out for leveled from h2s in the back.

i have actual GM H2 progressive 2500 coils restored red for the back with a full knock off spohn lift.

then in the front I have Ksp style uppers with refurb lowers with poly bushings, and Im getting either knock off deathgrip or ksp tierods and some kind of damper to go with it all.

i just cant decide if I want my shocks in the front a little long or a little short.

i want the front exactly 1" higher than the back after doing h2 springs in the back...

anybody got any info for me?

im measuring 20+19" in the back and 21+20" in the front right now.

essentially Im adding a complete 4" lift worth of angle correction tubular arms all around and then only going up 2" from where Im at now all around.

it comes raked and I passed level slightly getting it to land how I want cornerweight wise. I droop on one side from a bent lower in the back, thats how tubular arms got started to begin with lols.

anywho... i really wish either Rancho or Bilstein would make an affordable shock thats basically a Bilstein 5160 w/remote but with an adjustment knob like the rs9000xl for *bound AND rebound* lol. i feel like $350 a shock would be fair?

like we need a prerunner shock in the "k sport coilovers" neighborhood of performance lol...

anyway thanks in advance for any help.

I believe Im 1.7" higher than stock up front now, that makes sense actually... so... I need the 4" shocks in front right?

i guess Im gonna stick a jack under it and get a resting measurement. the compressed length of the long shock is less than 2" off from the stock shock at extension thats what has me concerned I do not want to blow out $250 shocks lol
