    That might be the best decision financially. I think I'll contact Yukon and get some part quotes generated.

    Found these two rear ends. What y'all think?

    I'll just stick with the 6 lug. I like the 17" ZL1 Tahoe wheels anyway. And they are priced well. Any links for the u-bolt conversion? I read on other post, a 6 lug disc brake fits the front bearing of a 1500. Can anyone else confirm?

    Confirmed 3 or 4 inch spindle lift and rear block. Rear sits lower & softer than i would like it to. Returns me to the question on the rear end. New shoes as the old Michelin lower rated tires where DOT 2014. These cooper E-load rated tires are quite, stiffer, aggressive and taller set up. Happy...

    highway speeds, RPM only increased to about 2,200 to reach 70 mph. I am curious what kind of mileage it currently gets on the highway.

    Going to have to look for those axle part numbers. That conversion would make it more ideal.

    I would agree with the 4.10 ratio and a 33" tire. right. well, my driveway is on a slope. But that would have transferred more weight forward. I suppose it’s possible the previous owner may have adjusted the torsion bar. Front end is all OE. Bushings will have to be addressed soon.

    Unsure where to post this thread, my concern may be within the rear axle configuration. And so, I am asking for as much input on those who have had similar experience in correcting this. All input is appreciated. A little about my jewel, I recently acquired a 1999 C1500 Suburban with a 5.7...

    99 obs k1500 suburban lift....

    Just acquired 5.7L 1999 C1500 Burb with about 114,000 on the odometer. One owner. I am very happy with it considering only the wheels and air filter where modified. But I am looking to do the same thing. I snagged a deal on Amazon for a Performance Accessory 3” lift. Looking around for a steel...

    Yes spindle. Spindle is correct. I am assuming my phone’s keyboard switched it up and I didn’t notice the spelling error.
