• Will Timbren Suspension Enhancement # TGMRYS4 Fit 2007 GMC Yukon XL with Autoride
• As long as your 2007 GMC Yukon XL is the 1500 model, the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRYS4 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit and will work well with the factory auto-leveling feature on the vehicle. These jounce-style springs will do a great job enhancing the rear suspension on your Yukon XL, reducing rear sag and body roll when under load. I have attached a short video demonstration on this system, along with the written installation instructions that...

• Trailer Wiring Recommendation for a 2004 GMC Yukon XL
• I recommend pairing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C15324 with the wiring # C59496 for your 2004 GMC Yukon XL. The wiring is for the basic trailer lighting functions which includes trailer brake lights. Please note that the hitch (or any hitch for your vehicle) will not fit if you have the EPA canister mounted on the passenger side frame rail. The last thing you need to complete your towing setup is a ball mount and for that I recommend checking out Ball Mount Kit # 989900 because it includes...

• Which Front Receiver Hitch for 2007 GMC Yukon XL
• If your 2007 GMC Yukon Denali is a 1500 series, I'd recommend the Curt # C31012. To install, the underside of the bumper fascia will likely need to be trimmed in a 3 inch by 1-1/2 inch area as outlined in the installation instructions which I've linked. I'll also link you to an installation video that will walk you through the install process.

• Sounds like you have a Hopkins plug and play brake controller install harness and are wanting to wire it to a P3 part # 90195 so that you can easily install it in your vehicle. Basically you just need to wire them matching the colors and you'd be set. Hopkins and Tekonsha both use the same color code for function.

• How to Carry 3 Kayaks Weighing 190 lbs Total with a 2010 GMC Yukon XL
• Since you're needing to transport 3 kayaks weighing a combined total of 190 lbs you're going to need to use a watersport trailer to accomplish this. All of the roof racks that fit your 2010 GMC Yukon XL have a max weight rating of 165 lbs. Even without adding the weight of the actual kayaks carriers you will be well over this. For your application I recommend using the Malone MicroSport Trailer for 4 Kayaks # MPG462G2 because it comes with everything you need to carry up to 4 kayaks weighing...

• Weight Distribution System Recommendation Sagging Rear Suspension of a 2008 GMC Yukon XL
• I actually have a much better solution for your 2008 GMC Yukon XL. Suspension enhancement will give the rear suspension more support when towing, but a weight distribution system is actually the better solution. Not only will it give your rear suspension more support but it will also distribute the tongue weight of the trailer partially up to the front axle so that handling and braking will get improved. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded...

• Easily Loading and Carrying 2 Kayaks on a 2017 GMC Denali XL
• A roof rack is required first and if you are looking to ease the loading, a lift assist would be important too. The Yukon XL roof weight limit is 150 pounds so that is important in selecting rails, loading 2 kayaks, and their carriers. Yakima makes a solid roof rack option with their 66" roof rack system including parts # Y00410, # Y53TR, # Y03536, # Y00243 A side loading kayak carrier such as the Thule Hullavator # TH898 would help you a great deal loading kayaks.

• Can Breakaway Switch By Itself Be Used If Trailer Already Had Battery
• If you have a battery already on your trailer that's getting a charge and would be adequate to hold the brakes of your trailer in the event of a breakaway you could wire just a switch from it to your brake output circuit, and you'd be fine. For that you'd only need a switch like the # FA80-00-2040 for a kit with a coiled cable or part # 3802348 for a kit with a straight cable. The battery setups like the part # 20099 would only be needed if you also needed a battery to power the system.

• Does the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller Require an Active Data Plan
• The Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 does not require an active data connection in order to function properly.

Also, please be aware that your old phone must have an operating software of 8.0 or newer (iPhone 4s) for Apple or 4.4 or newer for Android.

• How to Carry a 98-LB Kayak on a 2012 GMC Yukon XL Denali
• For a 2012 GMC Yukon XL Denali, Yakima makes a great roof rack system. I recommend the HD bars, part # Y01156. They are heavy-duty bars capable of handling your kayak. To mount them to your tracks, you will need the SkyLine Towers, part # Y53TR, along with the HD Bar SL Adapter, part # Y03541, and the Landing Pad 20, part # Y00246. The total system can handle 165 pounds, but check your owner's manual to ensure your roof can handle that much. Since your kayak is so long, using the Malone...

• 4 Bike Rack That Can Tilt To Allow Full Trunk Access On 2015 GMC Yukon
• I have a solution for you, but the Hollywood Racks Destination Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # HR4000 unfortunately does not have the ability to tilt back. I would look into the Malone Runway Bike Rack for 4 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # MAL82VR. This is definitely the most affordable option that will allow you to tilt the bike rack back while 4 bikes are loaded. We have not tested this on a 2015 GMC Yukon so I cannot say for sure if it will give you full access to the cargo area, but it...

• Recommended 1000/10000lb Weight Distribution Hitch With The Best Sway Control
• I would be happy to help! First did you readjust the system for your new 2019 GMC Yukon XL with the autoride suspension? If not what you will want to do is hitch the trailer to the vehicle and allow the autoride suspension to adjust before installing the spring bars. Once that is done go ahead and adjust the spring bars to the correct tension following the instruction manual of your Recurve hitch. If you find you still have too much sway I recommend replacing the system with the Equal-i-zer...

• Suspensions Enhancement for 2020 GMC Yukon XL Denali With Magnetic Ride Control
• The Air Lift 1000 # AL60769 does not fit vehicles with factory installed auto-leveling. This means you cannot use them on your 2020 GMC Yukon XL Denali. However, you can use the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-204-40. The SumoSprings will provide you with that extra support and stability you're looking for. They will help keep you level, reduce body roll, and won't have a negative impact on your ride quality. They are also maintenance free so you don't have to worry about...

• WeatherTech Floor Mat Recommendations to Cover the 2nd and 3rd Row as Well as Aisle Between Rows
• I spoke with my contact at WeatherTech and she informed me that the WeatherTech 3rd Row Rear Floor Liner # WT440665 that you referenced will take care of the center aisle between the second and third row of seats. After you install both the # WT440665 and the WeatherTech 2nd Row Rear Floor Liner # WT440662 the entire second row, third row, and center of the aisle between the rows would be covered. I attached installation instructions for both of these products for you to check out also.

• Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2003 GMC Yukon XL and 2012 Crossroads Sunset Trailer
• For your 2003 GMC Yukon XL, I recommend the Tekonsha P2, # 90885. It is one of our most popular controllers because it is easy to set up and use and it offers diagnostics. The P3, # 90195, is a great controller but is geared more towards individual with brake controller experience. It has a lot of diagnostics and features, though and would work well. Both controllers are compatible with electric trailer brake systems as well as electric over hydraulic systems. For your Yukon XL, you will...

• Brake Controller Recommendation for 2014 GMC Yukon XL with Factory Wiring
• Your 2014 GMC Yukon XL has wiring ran in it for a brake controller but it does not have one built in. So what you'll want is a brake controller that installs easily that utilizes the factory wiring of the vehicle. For that I recommend the Tekonsha BRAKE-EVN part # TK63VR which gives you a proportional brake controller that is very reliable and works well at the price of a much cheaper controller. To install it you just need to make a few connections under the dash of the vehicle to the...
