So I bought this 95 4Dr Yukon about 10yrs ago for $300. Since then I've pretty much replaced the entire suspension, brakes, cooling system, AC, headers & exhaust, and other maintenance items.
Even on 33s with factory 3.73s, this 350TBI needs some help so I considered regearing. But I hate to invest in these stock axles so here I am at SAS. I have a KP D60 front from a 88 F350 and the sterling 10.25 rear from that same truck. Also have a ribbed 14 bolt FF. Intended for my Jeep YJ but it's ok. I already bought lockers and 5.38 gears for them since I was gonna run 42+ on the YJ. However, I only intend to run 35-38" tires on my Yukon and mainly keep it for work and to pull trailers/camper, nothing too heavy. 4.88s would be perfect by my calculations but anyone ever regretting going with deeper gears? I have 4 other vehicles so not a DD. But would like to make it my camping vehicle. Looking at the WFO stuff for the swap.
I've done a 2WD 87 Sierra short bed auto to 4WD manual on tons swap on the dirt. Now I have a shop with a lift and all the tools. I have young kids now though so time is hard to come by.
Is this swap worth it on this yukon? Or is the swap better suited for an 8.1L 2500 suburban/avalanche that I don't yet own? Thoughts on the gearing and tire size choice? Trades anyone?
Sorry, all my pics are of other stuff with my truck in the background.. 6" RC lift, 2" body, 33x12.50 Mickey Thompsons, Flowmaster Super 10.
