We bought a Yukon XL 2wd and I would like to lower it and see what people have used and seems to have rode the best and towed the best. I would like to run a 285/40/22 on it when the tires on it now wear out. What is the best kit and the most economical? Thanks

well how low do you want to go.
I'd run: Spindles and 3" drop coils for a 2/3 drop

If you want to go 5" DJM makes a nice 3/5 kit.

The front is a torsion set up and when you go 3-5 you have to cut some of the frame off where to bump stop mounts and I know my wife wont go for that. Are the kits that just use keys and coils worth a damn? I am thinking that maybe a 3-3 and then I can tune the rear springs with a little heat to get them where I want. I am not sure though I will pull some measurements to be sure.

With the 22's you want to run why not just level out the rear? Should tow and ride great!!!

Because the truck now looks level, it doesn't have that nasty rake. It almost looks like the t bars are turned up now.

You sure about that chief? I've never heard of that one before. I'm 99% sure that's not the case.

EDIT-Just looked it up and you don't have to cut any of the frame off. It's purely bolt on.

Maybe... Is there any way to get them back to factory specs or atleast check to see if they are right?

I'd go with a bit more tire on a 22, something like a 305 45 R22. They would be much better for the ride and even more so if you plan on towing.

No cutting involved all bolt in like Hero said.

Word, I've installed about 15 different chevy lowering kits and the tahoe's have the same setup as 4wd silverados. I knew the silverados didn't have anything to cut(minus the c-notch) and I don't see why the tahoes would.

I read on the DJM website that you dont have to but it will allow more susension travel if you cut the large bracket off the frame where the bumpstop is in the back and just use a bolt in bumpstop. I am looking for it now.
