I'm considering lifting my 04 Yukon XL Denali with autoride and awd. A 3 inch lift would be perfect for me, but I need a budget friendly option that won't kill my wallet. Any suggestions?

Did you ever do it?
ended up replacing blown out autoride with bilstein 4600's. next up is level and 33's. 3 inch lifts are all keys and spacers. not willing to compromise my suspension for a mere 3 inches. if i am lifting, a 4.5 bds or 4 inch tuff country are my options

So to lift a Denali you replaced the auto ride with bilstein 4600s and thrown in simply keys and spacers? That's all that's needed to get 3ins?
I'm new to lifting and I'm trying to figure out options for my 03 Denali. I cant find anything specifically addressing the awd for lift options

Yes, but get the 5100's set at 3" of lift instead of the 4600's. Be aware that 3 inch keys are not the best for your suspension and ride quality

Hi I'm new here

But I have a quick question for you sir
Did you take the fuse out of your airride or did you bypass at it?

I'm looking into fitting 33s on stock denali 17s.
I want a 2.5 inch level. I know it's just keys and spacers like you said above. I'm actually going with blisteins too.
Also will I need a double cardan joint?

Here my denali

Thanks I'm advance :boti:

I just took the fuse out, but the serivce air ride still shows in the instrument cluster. I've been living with it, but is there a better way?

I know this is an older thread, but have you had any issues? I have an 06 yukon Denali XL and I want to make it look like this. https://www.trailbuiltoffroad.com/w...lack-rhino-stadium-rough-country-leveling-kit .

Not sure how much of a lift that is, and I don't know how to get a hold of the user that posted that. Only difference is I would like to get wildpeak at3w tires instead of the grapplers, but not sure how different it'll look.
