Installed the Belltech 2/4 (no spacer) drop kit on the Denali yesterday. Alignment is done as well. Only bugged Tony once on the phone, but did a lot of reading/asking questions in threads.
Quick recap:
2010 Denali
2in drop spindles up front
4 in drop spring in the rear (no spacer installed)
Links set to 3in - getting a good bit of air up.
Bump stop brackets still in place - just used shorter ones included in the kit.
Ride is actually really good. I'm rubbing a little and I've been pretty cautious so far, but bumps are not overly harsh and a lot of the body roll is gone.
Only strange thing is the fact that the psgr side rear is higher than the driver's side rear. Links are same on both sides. Seems like I've read about this, but I'm going to look into it further.
On to the pics and measurements:

Post Drop:
Exploded a rear tire and it put a hole in my rear bumper a couple of weeks ago. Had the body shop paint match the upper appliques while they installed/painted a new rear bumper. I handled the debadge:

Rear (Driver):
Rubbin'
The front driver's side is the worst for sure. Not sure what's up w/ this b/c I haven't heard of anyone rubbing here. No trimming will fix this, so I guess I just have to let it wear.
