Apparently i forgot to post these the other night when i was done....





Fronts stick out a hair further than the rears, but the first set of rims dude ordered were about 2" outside the fender, would have worked on my silverado, but i didnt want that look for this one, and i wouldve had to cut into the running boards and front bumper supports.

I like the big offset, deep lip look but on my daily that I sorta try to keep clean, I want as much tire as possible inside the fender.

I am not planning on a set of flares for the yukon, not that i am opposed to them once its lifted (or that i have had any luck finding them for the gmt900 suvs), so the more tire inside the fender the better.... if i want to cover something in mud i will take the truck out!!!

Ordered a rear diff rebuild/gear install kit last week, noticed the pinion seal has started leaking pretty bad, and the backlash/preload of the rear diff has kind of concerned me since i put the engine and trans in. The front diff has gotten bad enough that to be on the safe side (and save myself down time)i picked up a used front diff, i will probably run the used diff as is, while i go through the original front diff and dont have to be down a truck and tie up the lift at work! Also noticed when i step on the step board to get into the truck i have a squeak coming from the rear suspension somewhere, that will be next on the list to figure out, probably when i extract the broken sway bar bushing bravket bolt, from the mount on the rear diff! and everytime i get everything setup to reolace my camshaft actuator something comes up and i cant seem to get it done, hopefully i will catch a break here soon and actually be able to get some stuff done!!

Looks good. I'm just not a fan of running boards. That would have been the first thing I took off. Also, if you take them off, you'll look taller

If i take them off the kids have a hard time getting in and out, personally thing they look much cleaner without them, but at least for now they do serve a purpose..... eventually i want to get a set of the folding running boards that come out when you open the door

Had a few minutes earlier today and tracked down the squeak in the rear suspension, it finally got bad enough that it was consistent enough that i could bounce on the driver side running board and it would squeak everytime it bounced, whereas before it only did it when i first stepped on the board getting in the truck.. turns out it is the sway bar link on the drivers side.... another reason to lift it, all the lift kits come with rear sway bar links...
