Not to be nit-picky, but isn’t the spec touching, or within 1/4” or something? Pretty sure mine are just about 3/16” away, while sitting level. Hoping that’s ok, or I’ll have to get slightly larger spacers.. (these pics are while in the air)

You'd better fix that... ;)

Seriously, though, I'm not sure of the spec. All I know is that they contact on stock suspensions.

In your photo, it shows a red lower pad... Mine is just the metal surface, ( with the upper stop against it)

Did you raise the front on yours, to need the extra 'bump' ?
Yes, just cranked the torsion keys, and installed 2” longer Bilsteins. She rides great! May also help that there’s a fat Hellwig sway bar up there.. :naughty:

if I still lived in Kalifornia, I would be driving on hilly & twisty roads. But, here in S. Florida, the only 'hill' is a freeway overpass. So, my '05 seems fine.
Years ago, I had a 1970 GTO, bought in '73..... I had the suspension modified and it handled almost like a Trans Am race car.
This Yukon is sort of a 'beast'..... But it seems fine....
