About 2 years ago my wife started sending me screenshots of lifted Yukon and Escalades from Hurst Autoplex's IG account. We were into another vehicle with issues and couldn't just change course till November. We did purchase a '24 Yukon XL AT4 in November and started planning the mods with quite a bit of help from posts on this forum. To the interior we only added GMC floor and cargo liners, 20% ceramic tint on the front sides, and 80% ceramic tint to the windshield and sunroof panels (mainly for UV protection).

We like the look of 35" tires on the lifted Yukons but prefer that the tires are flush with the body and not poke. We chose to go with Fuel Flux 20" x 9" wheels, 20mm offset. This only moved the wheels outboard 8mm but combined with the Falken AT4W 35" x 11.5" tires it gave us the look we wanted. We bought adjustable link rods for the air ride lift, it was really easy to install and adjust for lift and level (the rear is up about 1/4"). The lug nuts were also changed to black. The front and rear GMC emblems were changed to GMs black parts along with the front and rear door Yukon and AT4 emblems. We did leave the fender emblem stock as neither of us liked the look of the all-black part.

I lack any photography skills but here's how it's turned out. What do you all think?

Looks great!!!

What height do you have links set at?

I am putting the lift links on our Tahoe tomorrow. Probably going to set them at 1" or 1.5" of lift for now. Currently running stock size LT275/60/20 Falken AT3W on Trailboss rep wheels. Once we go with large tires I will adjust them higher.

I've got about a 2.5" lift over stock. The front link was nearly maxed out in length.

From the ground to the inside top of the front fender is 40 1/2", the rear is 40 3/4".

Thanks.

Max I would go is 2" when I do put 34" tires on it but that might be a year before I do that. But for right now I am going for about 1" to 1.5" and then I can still use the raise and lower functions.

I almost went with 285/65R20 rather than the 35x11.5. The 285s are about 1/2" smaller in diameter and according to what others have wrote cleared their liners without mods. We turned off the lowering setting and only keep it in Normal now, I believe this height is just a little higher than the +2" that 4LO allows.

Our lowering setting is always turned off,. Only time I use that is if my parents or in-laws ride in it to make it easier for them.

Got links installed and got exactly 1" lift all around the first time. Perfect height for stock size tires. Was the easest leveling kit I ever installed and I did alot. Will go up to 2" whenever we think about going to 34" tires.
