speaking of which. Shawn1112 Shawn1112 whasts a decently cheap double din touch headunit these days? thinking about ditching the factory shit and going after market to make the wiring easier and have phone hookup capabilities
I usually spend decent coin on my head units. I prefer Pioneer AVIC series.
Probably find one used for a decent amount.

I looked through here again quickly and didn’t really find the answer...

What did you end up doing for lowering the rear? I’m wanting to drop this Yukon I bought for a daily. Going to just drop the front with the torsion bar adjusters. Probably something like 2/3 or 2/4.

Don’t know if it’s the same with nbs vs nnbs springs but I got belltech rear springs 3/4 drop and shock extenders pretty cheap on our hoe. The shock mounting points look the same to me.

I’d guess anything advertised for a Yukon/hoe will be lower on yours because it’s an xl

so some 2010 tahoe front rotors/pads/calipers literally fell into my lap from a friend of mine that parts trucks out for a living.

apparently its a bolt on upgrade for the pre-07 trucks. gets you a 13" rotor and larger pads/calipers

this is great, because i need to do my front brakes, and the take off parts must only have 1000 miles on them and seem to be napa premium parts :love:

This sounds intriguing. Curious to hear how that goes, just caliper/bracket/rotor/pad swap? Any idea if they'll fit the stock 17s?
