Blocks without shocks ??

[yukon25008.1]

Im going to swap my 2 inch blocks with a set of 4" i got. The oem shocks are working fine with the 2" , But im getting +4" shocks to go with the bigger blocks, The shocks wont be here for 2 weeks.. but i have the time today to swap blocks, Can i run the truck with no shocks for a short time or will it be to rough??

I'd wait. The shocks are there for a reason....

Just driving around town, at slower speeds...it should be okay. I wouldn't tow anything, go flying down the interstate, or go blasting down country roads. That yukon is one heavy unit, and it's going to handle quite differently without shocks.

Its goin on an 05 sierra 2500 hd 4x4 ext cab LB

Sold that yukon a while ago..just havent changed the pic/

So i cant haul anything without the shocks?? What about a little firewood in the bed?

Before you do the swap just remove the 2 lower shock bolts and tie em out of the way and take it for a quick spin, you'll probably put the shocks right back on and wait for the new ones.

Well, a 2500HD truck is a slightly different animal. With heavy springs like that, you probably wouldn't notice a whole lot....especially at slower speeds. A little firewood would be fine.

No way in hell I would run without shocks as you have nothing to control bounce. If you went around a turn and hit the bump while in the turn the rear axle will start bouncing therefore losing contact with the road and I dont have to tell you what will happen next. Just wait and do the job right.

Not to mention it will beat the hell out of your truck. As far as the wheel hop durring turns just put traction bars on it im sure thatd look great ha ha ha. I remember i had a set of those on my nova and i cant say they made a big diffrence.
