What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

How is the fitment? Any quality negatives?

That is a mod for lifted trucks with a crank. You want to keep the jounce bumper in contact with the lca there.

It might be worth taking a look @ your jounce stops though, if those are degraded that would hurt the ride/suspension performance in a similar way.

Mine are due to be changed. Waiting for some better weather. I will be looking into the pucks also

I think the fitment is good. Hides the original grill well. The material could be a little thicker or "heavier", but it's held up well.

Installed my Airaid Jr.
Also changed the other 3 steering wheel buttons cause a couple lights were out. I had done one before, and the color was just so slightly off from the rest it was driving me nuts. Then I lost two more lights, so.... Now all 4 are new. Those bottom 2 are a PITA.... Snapped the little clip off the harness on first one I tried and chewed the plastic up pretty bad, so it won't 'click' into place. I did get it to seat, and it all works, so here's to hoping it stays that way!

Did you pull the airbag?

I didn't when I changed the first one a few weeks ago. That was one of the top buttons... Super easy. Today I started with a bottom button because that's where the lights were out. After I messed the harness all up, I decided to pull the airbag to see if it would give me more slack. It didn't make a difference. I adjusted my method a bit for the other side and it was no problem. Still pretty tricky, but done quite quickly with no damage.

Just curious because I got mine off with the bag on but needed to pull the bag it gave me the lil extra slack I needed

Yeah.. I really feel like you just gotta pull harder than it feels like you should. With the first one tonight, I was afraid to because I had chewed that harness bad enough that I could see the crimp pin on the brown wire and didn't want to pull it out. I pulled the bag so I could put a tiny screwdriver in from the back to support the harness so I could push the button onto it. It sucked. If it was something with a significant draw I wouldn't leave it, but its all working so I figure the worst that can happen is it will find its way back out and stop working.

Yep PITA. I pulled my airbag and ended up using fishing line and a lot of firm pressure to get that harness and button matched up.

Nice work.
