Also, several months ago, I had a situation where my ABS lines were damaged. More than likely, it was due to the placement after the lift. I paid $400 to get that fixed at the dealership. The shop said they would discount my parts by that much, since it was their fault. So... $1500 install and $1200 parts (yukons front and rear and master install kits). I can live with that. I plan on putting it in the shop Monday morning. I'll let you guys know my thoughts afterwards...

It shifts so much smoother, and I can actually tell that I have gained some gas mileage. I don't know for sure how much yet, but it is obvious that I have... initial thoughts are around a mile per gallon.

This was an expensive mod; however, after the lift and adding bigger tires, this was definitely worth every penny to me. I am one happy camper. I feel like I got my truck back.
