Hi everyone, I'm doing some research because I've been debating lowering my 2005 GMC Yukon 2wd. I called up the local 4 wheel parts and, as you probably know, they weren't very knowledgable on the topic.
So I headed to the internet and found you guys. Here is what I want to do, and I hope you guys can give me some good advice here.
I'd like to keep my stock 17" rims and tires and do a mild drop on the truck to improve handling. I'd like to do a 2/4 and maybe even throw in front and rear anti roll bars to make it a little more solid in the turns.
So, what are your recommendations? I'm not looking for anything crazy low or dragging the ground, since I still do some dirt road driving, just something to make the truck handle better.
Thanks in advance!

Get McG's Drop spindles, and Bell-Tech or Ground Force rear coils. The shocks are up to you I like KYB's but Ground force has good shocks that are a bit smoother, but still handle good.
Look at the DJM site about the free-mods like re-locating bump stops and such. The tahoe suites recomend those.

i didnt think any of the yukon's/tahoes had front coils, i thought they were all torsion bar fronts, same with the avalanches... my 04 tahoe has torsion bars...
and i thought they had front and rear sway bars on them stock too...
