Not quite as technical as I thought it might be but interesting nonetheless.

Back on the forum after many years and yet another location/vehicle change. Living in the Denver area and driving a black 07 LTZ. 254k on the clock as of this evening.
Have been wanting to cover up some cancer on the fenders and have been on the fence between trying to make a set of Z71 flares work, or going aftermarket. Pulled the trigger on a set of $100 eBay flares that ended up just being a repackaged Putco set. Threw 'em on anyway and they look halfway decent:
Next up will be replacing the recently cracked (due to age) bug deflector, lost rear window deflectors, and blown front passenger door speaker.

Can’t
So I spent a whole lot more time on the Yukon yesterday than I planned, with little to show for it in the end.
A while back I installed some leveling spacers under my front struts to raise my ride height up front for better ground clearance for some of the off road tracks we frequent. When I was done with the initial change, I still had about 1/2” rake.
I decided I would buy some thicker spacers and level it out completely. I thought I had the math right for what I needed in the new spacers, but after I got them installed, lowered it back down and drove around for a little bit, it seemed higher in front than back. I measured it and it was 1/2" higher up front. Cripes!
The only positive thing was there was a lot less wrestling getting the thinner spacers back in the second time, but it certainly was more work out than I had planned.
I guess the good news is I saved myself the cost of another alignment... Man, I am really sore today.

I know the spacers didn't stay on long but, where are the pictures, tyf members love pictures. Lol
I know, my bad. I hate to fish my phone out of my pocket with greasy hands. Maybe I will take a picture of it the way it sits now and see if anybody can tell it is 1/2" lower on the front.
