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

Got it aligned after the drop. Very pleased with how it came out

What drop did you go with?

What drop did you go with?

It’s a combination of things. Belltech 2” spindles, stock keys with ~3-4 turns LF and ~6-7 turns RF. Belltech 4” springs in the rear with no isolators. Spohn panhard bar and Belltech sway bars front and rear. Rear bar is currently not on, I have to move it over to the passenger side to clear the PHB bracket. It sways ALOT without it [emoji23] Hoping to do that tomorrow

Was there anything special with the install of the spindles? Any special tools or tips?

Put new foglight housings in, the lens of the old ones fell off and one was foggy. They came with halogen bulbs, but I put some LED's in.

Nothing specially really, just a breaker bar and a BFH.

Obviously the brakes have to come off. I think the tie rod end nut is an 18mm, the UCA balljoint nut is 18, the lower is 24 IIRC. The 3 bolts holding the hub in are 15s (that’s where you’ll need the breaker bar). Then use the BFH (I prefer a 3lb sledge) to hit the bosses on spindle by the BJ. It’ll come loose after a few good swings.

Then reassemble

Awesome thanks. The axle nut is 35mm right?

Got original wheels refinished and painted black - Decided to take the plunge and dip my chrome parts... Still need to do the rear bumper. Made a few mistakes, may need to re-dip eventually... for now it's ok (have some chrome peeking through from pulling tape too quickly, i think). Gotta learn somehow, I suppose.

OEM 35, replacements 36. I reused mine, but you're not really supposed to.

Don’t remember. Mines 2wd and it’s been a couple years since I did axles on a 4wd

I went to flush the brake lines and upon extracting the contents of the reservoir, massive amounts of debris was being cycled out with the orig fill B/F. Naturally, I continued adding new BF & extracting to continue removing the contaminants but I never reached a point where I was comfortable pulling what was left down through the calipers. The debris looks like silicone or some or synthetic base like the properties of a seal. After going through a quart I decided to top it off and leave it be so that I can remove more contamination tomorrow.

Am I being paranoid or will all of this flow through the caliper valves without issue? I'm going to start with the closest caliper so that I'm not pulling this shit through every last inch of hyd pipe.
