Lift kit/leveling kit installs in the Puyallup area?

[cwuwildcat]

Recommendations in the puyallup area? Dont have the time, tools or experience.  Want a 2-4 inch lift on an 07 Yukon.  Prefer a level lift.  Billy Bob's in Milton has BAD reviews.

Not wanting to go fall guy tall, just get the nose up and a little air underneath.  Own it outright, so don't care about warranty.

Might have to go to 4wd hardware in Tacoma. I've always found Billy Bobs a little strange to deal with.

Check out Auburn Car Repair and Offroad, they are just north of Emerald Downs. While I haven't personally had a lift done by them, I know they do them all the time and both the guys that work there drive Chevy's. I've had other work done on my Silverado and they've been very easy and friendly to deal with.

Try Les Schwab, I had great luck with them in Burien.

Is your 07 early or late? They switched from the torsion bar front end to the newer system half way through that year. If its a torsion barsystem it just takes keys on the torsion bars. If its the newer style itll be adding shims in the struts. Neither are hard to do. I did mine on my 08 silverado 1500 in 2 hours with use of a hydraulic strut press. With a leveling kit you can run 285/75 r17 tires and it looks good.

Adding keys is a waste of $s. I would do some research first!

I agree with what is said above. Ride sucks! Save your money for a true lift kit.

I've got a torsion lift on my 2013 Duramax with ZERO problems. It does ride stiffer in the front, but it's a 2500 truck.......

[BULLBLASTER]

The torsion keys will affect the ride a bit, but if it is the newer non torsion setup the strut spacers will have no affect whatsoever on ride. Look at the price difference between a level kit and a full lift and you will probably change your tune.

A+ transmission, Meridian Truck.  good folks to work with, if not them Les Schwab

I'm not sure on the Yukon but on the "older" style Silverado 1500 (1999-mid 2007) you can run 285's without a lift

Could be swanny. I can only specifically speak for the late 2007 -2013 body.

You must be cranking the torsion bars way up to make that happen. 285's won't go on my '02 stock height.

[BULLBLASTER]

The 285 number is only width... you need the entire tire size and wheel size to determine height of a given tire.

285 is height, not width. 285's are about 33ish inches tall. They won't fit under my 13 without a lift/torsion lift. They rub the inner wheel wells as did ALL of my 1500's without a lift of some sort.

[jackelope]

You're both sort if wrong.

No crank here, strictly stock suspension on my 02 4x4. 285/75/16 Goodyear Duratrac, slight rub in reverse fully locked only in one direction, can't remember which though. Other than that they fit just fine on stock and aftermarket rims.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies.  Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth on this one, been on vacation with the family.  Called Les Schwab and they told me they could only install a two inch in the front, nothing in the back, without having to change stock parts such as the shocks and things.  Sound legit?  I thought I'd seen 2.5 in front and 1 in in the rear without changing stock parts.  They'd quoted either a tuff country/rough country.  Cant remember which.  Basically a C shaped spacer in the front.

oh, and I believe it's an early 07, as it was built in 06.

Mine was installed without any other type of installed parts. You will need a frontend alignment FYI.
