Fred, By what you are saying, GMC has done a 180 degree turnaround on their Z71 package on the Yukon for 04. Previously, it was unlike the Chevy, in that it DID include different shocks, and NOT different size wheels, only different tires than the standard ride Yukon. If what you say is true, then you need to go to the dealership where you intend to order your new Yukon and get all the correct info from the salesperson/salesmanager before you order it. That's what their there for.
