Hey everyone. I have recently joined this site and browsed the forums for info. I need some advice for upgrades and repairs. I have a 97 Yukon GT that has a K&N intake system with a Poweraid riser, 50 series Flowmaster exhaust, 2-inch lift, Hypertech programmer. I have owned it for four years without doing much other than keeping it maintained. It has about 140000 miles which mostly were on the highway.
I need some help making a decision on upgrading the brakes and suspension. I was looking at getting a Baer brake kit. It would give me 13 1/8" rotors in the front and 13" in the rear. To fit the kit I need new wheels that are 17" or bigger. I have 16" Wields on it now. I will put up pics tomorrow so you may judge it. Any help or pointing me in the right direction will be appreciated, thanks.

Nice truck. Do the brake upgrade. Maybe new shocks if it needs them too.

Very nice truck man! I love those 2 door Tahoe/Yukons. Really sporty & luxury. What is real world MPG on those? When you are a good boy on the skinny?
