1997 Yukon 2dr 2wd needs a drop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey Guys, I have a 97 Yukon 2wd I'm ready to lower the altitude. I have front drop springs and plan to add drop spindles. What do you guys recommend for the rear drop? Flip Kit? Remove leafs? Swap spring hangers? I'm not sure what suspension I have but the spring pack looks a little thick to me. On the difficulty meter of 1 being easy and 10 being the toughest, I'm OK with a 10 if need be. Welding and fabricating are OK as well. As for towing, this truck might tow a teardrop trailer but nothing heavier.

No bags please, I have a C-10 and a 50 3100 both on bags, the Yukon will be my daily shared with my kid and wife if needed. My wife and daughter would freak at having to adjust ride height, so would I knowing they were. LOL.

Thanks!

I had a flip kit on mine before the bags and was happy with it.

It was done before I purchased it, but mine has a flip kit with c-notch & helper bags on the rear. It also currently has a 4" front drop with spindles/springs.

Thanks Guys, I had read somewhere that dropped spring hangers are not available for the 2 door trucks, so I figured a flip was my best option.
