What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Rocket Man]

Ok, I just ordered some grade 10 bolts and nuts from McMaster-Carr that @Doug118 linked in this thread about doing the strut flip. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/front-strut-“flip”-as-a-lowering-option.139425/#post-1752032

Or how about bolting the struts under the control arms with grade 9 bolts and add a 1/2”spacer to get a 2”front drop and then 4”drop springs in the rear?

I don't particularly like relying on the tensile strength of the bolts to keep my vehicle up, but that said, there has been air under all four tires a few times

Ya I guess if you wanted to go super economic with it

Why not cheap and easy? If others have done it why not me I figure. I also found these 1/2”spacers on Amazon. they’re advertised for a 1/2” lift. I’ll use them under the control arm instead of on top, so they’ll give me a 2”drop.Rough Country used to sell a 2”drop kit that included grade 9 hardware and 1/2” spacers just like the parts I put together. This will cost me about $60 for a 2” front drop. I’ll order some 4” drop springs for the rear. I can make some ride height sensor rods for the rear auto level since I just replaced the shocks and compressor and I’ll be able to tow like I do with my 02.

Like others here have said, the control arms will break before grade 10 (or even grade 9) bolts and nuts. I’m not scared. I won’t be jumping railroad tracks anyway. @Doug118 had 40k miles on his at the time of his post regarding this setup.

Those two rear plugs, expecially the one on the passenger side, is a fun one.

I pulled the tire off, And pulled the fender liner back. About as Good as it's gonna get for that one against the fire wall.

If i wanted a 4" drop in front. would this work with drop struts, and NOT need 2" drop spindles? Or would i need the spindles to keep alignment within spec?

Could you link me those 1/2 spacers? I dont wanna go crazy lift but I wanna get rid of the front squat on my Yukon. I think the Rough Country ones are to thick and would force me to get the back raised. I really just want to raise the front a little bit.
