advice on dropper post for my Yukon 2

Looking for recommendation on a dropper post for my 2020 Yukon 2?

It doesn't look like my frame is drilled for internal dropper at least I can't see where the cable would go thru frame. If anyone has installed on their Yukon please let me know what brand you went with. I measured and subtracted 50 mm and got 102mm as length.

Thanks Wardie

Any externally routed post will work.
I wouldn't recommend drilling a hole, but it can be done.

You need to know the diameter and dropper manufacturers have sizing charts.

I used to have an external PNW Cascade, which was fine for 3 years.

There are lots of 100mm dropper posts
You might need an 80 though
