Default Is this any good kit to lower a Yukon XL

I have never known anyone to run any of this stuff on a truck. Here is the Ebay auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA:IT&ih=020. I am curious how this would affect the towing of the vehicle and the ride. I noticed that the kit didn't come with shock extenders so that makes me wonder just how good it would work with the stockers. Thanks for the help guys the kit list for 400 and on their site it says it only gives a 3 inch drop in the rear. We really wanted 3-4 though and that is what the said it was maybe an older kit

hmmm, well truthfully, i think you need/ would really want the shock extenders. i have a 3 inch drop that uses the keys in the front and coils and shock extenders in the rear, i think it was 250 from stylin concepts.... it made my tahoe handle better but the ride quality did suffer. its riding on bump stops pretty bad. It dosnt bother me, but it might bother you.

You know you can trim the bump stops right? All of my DD for the last 5 or 6 years have been lowered so bump stops don't bother me. This is my wife's truck and our travel vehicle so I want it to ride so nice. If I went 3 in the back and 3 in the front and trimmed the bumpstops and got newer shorter shocks how would this kit ride?
