What lift should I use?

[Juiceman74]

So I am about to return home for Christmas break and really want to lift my 04 yukon. I don't want to go very high and want to have a little bit of a squat. I have 285/75/16 on already and plan on maybe going to 33's. Don't really know too much about the suspension of a vehicle so I would love to be pointed into the right direction. Thanks guys.

do you want an actual lift or just level out?

I want the front to be about 3" and the back to be about 1.5" or 2"

Just get new T-bar keys, a set of Z71 rear springs and spring spacers of your likings. I would say 2" would be good if you really want some squat in the rear. Finish it all off with new extended length shocks front and rear and you'll fit 33s with no problem. I run 33x12.50x20s on my Escalade with no rub running the same setup with the exception of me running 3" spacers in the rear. I don't like squatting....

The truck leveled out after a few hundred miles of settling and a slight key adjustment. I run bilstein 5100s and the truck rides and handles great. I found that running extended sway bar end links from a jeep also noticeably helped my ride quality. If you have factory air shocks rip that stuff out, if the truck has any miles its most likely bad anyway. Go with a good static setup like bilsteins. My truck still fits in the garage even after I installed my lightbar with an inch or two to spare. Parking decks can present a problem though so keep that in mind if that applies to you.
