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

[02_Tahoe]

So today I was fixing the squat I had. The rear fender was 1.25" lower than the front but after you take out that the front fender is .75" higher, it was a half in higher in the front. So decranked the keys and literally got it perfectly level. Before I did this I noticed my UCA's were hitting the droop stop even on a level surface, so I did this today 1.to get rid of the squat and 2. Put less stress on the front end. So now it's down a half inch. I went to look at the UCA and it's still resting on the droop stop but I measured to check again and it definitely got lower. How does it get lower but still rest on the droop stop?

It's supposed to rest on the jounce stop. It acts as a fulcrum on the torsion bar. It's part of the design of this type of suspension.

I understand that, but im talking about the piece that prevents too much down travel

Need a picture of what you're talking about.

It actually doesn't look like it's resting on it in this picture, but it's not on a level surface. I'll take a better look at it in the morning

What did I do to my truck today?
After getting a car wash, and getting it nice and shiny yesterday?

Go Geocaching out in the woods and get the truck covered in dust, of course!

With new tires and new seat cover, we decided to take a scenic drive this weekend. After a few hundred miles around south Texas it's OK to say the tires and seat refurb is good as gold. No more shakes up to 95mph and my butt felt great in the seat. Lol...averaged 17mpg not bad

I missed it, what tires did you get? Did they solve your shaking? What size are they? I'm also having some shaking. Nothing terrible, just annoying.

I bought the truck already lowered with the wheels. Always had a shake at 60 and 70. PO had the truck sit a few years with those tires. I replaced all four due to dry rot after putting about 8k miles on them.

I bought 305/35r24 Lionhart LH10 they had good reviews at the Mercedes and SRT forums.

I'll tell you one thing my buddies shop did that other don't, they used the old style hammer on weights instead of the stick on weights as they aren't fond of the stick on with large wheels.
