Getting those 35” tires on your Yukon or Tahoe

- When it comes to fitting those larger tires in the fenders of your Yukon or Tahoe it can be challenging unless you just want to cut the fenders out and look like crap. We feel like when doing something we want it to look factory or nicer then factory. So we spent some time to get this to work out just right!
Looks badass!! I have an SLT no air ride really want to fit 35s you mentioned this Yukon has “your 2in kit” where can I find that? I have 2” lift on the front lower an arm will this clear 35x12.5r17 with your fender pull back kit? What size offset on the rims are these????Thank you
Do you know, what is the stock tire size for the Yukon AT4, in 35 terms, and if those 35's were so problematic, what do you think the largest tire size one could put onto a Yukon AT4 that would not be so difficult as this, that would be doable? That size you referenced I'm not sure what this is in 35 terms. And is there a reasonable way to raise it up, and have the magnetic ride control and adjustable air ride still work perfectly just at a higher height? Thanks. I'd really like to get the minimum road clearance raised up, as much as possible, but even just +1" more would be nice.
Beautiful job. I have a question for you. I understand that on the Yukons (AT4 and Denali), the normal base height road clearance is 8", and with the adjustable air ride suspension, it will raise up to 9" in 4H and 10" in 4L. My question is, when you lift this AT4, I think you said 2"s, does that mean that the new base height of the road clearance is 10", and with the adjustable air suspension you can then raise it to 11" in 4H and 12" in 4L? Oh, and will the magneride and everything else still work normally as well? Thanks.
I take measurements from the lowest point which is off the lower rear control arms. So you only gain what the tire gains.
@@westcottdesigns That makes sense, and frankly it's a more honest way to take that road clearance measurement. I've actually wondered about that. I wish those who designed the vehicle could have put that independent rear suspension in so that those control arms went up instead of down so they didn't drop down so low. At least they're further off to the side and not dead center. In any case, I assume the lift does raise the center beneath the vehicle by that amount, just not the lowest point of the control arms, or at least not by much. A question. For those larger tires, how much do you think they raised that low point of the control arms versus with the stock tires, 1/4", 1/2", 1", more, any idea? Whatever the case, you really did a bang up job, it's such a beautiful vehicle after the work you did, and I suspect even more capable! Man, I love the look of it! Put some black cross bars on the roof, and I'd be off to the races.
@@Nate-zy5ce the lower rear are a bad design. For sure could do arms that have way more ground clearance and more strength could be added into them. The stock tires are 31” and the new tires are 35” so you pick 2” of ground clearance
@@westcottdesigns Thanks for replying again. Glad to know I'm not crazy thinking those control arms could have been done better. As for the tires, an extra 2" of ground clearance because of the larger tires, that's great, I'd welcome that for sure. I think I just saw a video where you've decided to no longer offer this specific custom package due to its complications and time involved. I wonder, could you do something like this, but with slightly smaller tires, maybe 33"rs, or 34"rs maybe, still nicely larger than stock, but not as big as these, and still a bit of offset poke, and would that be less complicated and time consuming, maybe less or no trimming even, and would that still be worth it performance wise? I'd welcome even just 1" more road clearance as I believe would occur with 33"rs, as long as the adjustable air ride suspension and such sill worked fine. I for some reason thought those were 37's on this vehicle, but since already 35's, maybe dropping to 33"s, so much closer to 31"s, then makes it not worth the effort?
I really wanted a full size suv, and have been set on these Yukons, Denali or more likely AT4, but the less road clearance beneath those control arms has held me back. Actually, playing Mr. Potato Head, I'd really love an AT4 but with all the Cadillac features and luxury, and a better control arm design of course, just call me a dreamer. I've actually been considering just moving to a pick up instead, one of the F150's, maybe Platinum or Tremor, and customizing it a tad, I really like that optional fold out flat front center console work surface, but trade offs going the pick up route too since I lose the interior space of the suv, but am considering it, maybe a slightly raptorized all black F150 Platinum. The Tremor would need less customization, but then I lose the interior luxury and massaging seats of the loaded Platinum, and these old bones would like that for the long road trips. The Platinum also offers slightly better mpg, how much depending on which engine selected. Do you guys do work like that, on F150's? I'm getting long in the tooth here, so if you want to cut this off no problem, thanks for taking the time. And again, impressive custom work.
what is the largest tire we can fit on the Yukon with 17inch wheel - no lift?
Hey folks have the products mentioned in this video been launched? Or are you folks still testing?
Itching to fit 35"s on my AT4!
They said soon!
I dont see any product listed like the video mentioned. It said it was going to post the lift kit product for air suspension
Looks great, I am working on stuffing 37s on my Tahoe.
Do you need to reset the computer to accommodate for the larger tires?
We did not.
My wife has a 22 4wd rst w/magride and no air ride. Will this work for that? If so how much
Will this work on a 21 Escalade w/ air ride? ❤
Does this have air ride and is it still functional?
It does and it was still functional👍
@@westcottdesigns so thats 2 inch lift 35 12.50 s than in 4 low it goes up an additional 2 inches?
Those ditch light bracket will fit with the 21 Escalade?
Correct
35 12.50 18 on a stock yukon Xl SLT no lift will they fit???
Without a lift no! They are a tight squeeze with a lift😉
Are you guys selling this kit yet?
For the air ride or non air ride?
@@westcottdesigns air ride
Would like to see it drive
The new owners love it! We are getting ready to build another one.
The lug nuts worry me being so small
If it actually had enough power I would worry too. All the new trucks and SUV’s are going to this bolt pattern and stud size. 6x139.7. M14x1.5 wheel stud.
Ok thx!
Those wheels are …..ew lol
Not for everyone but the guy that bought the Yukon bought it because the wheels! 🤷♂️
@@westcottdesigns fair enough lol
I’m not seeing these products on your website. How can I look at them?
@@joshdove9367 they are not up yet. We are doing a little more testing on them before we release them. We also will be releasing a full roof rack and ladder for the new Yukons and Tahoes👍
@@westcottdesigns , is this available now? I’ve got a 2021 duramax rst Tahoe that I’d like this set up on.
