Looks good. It'll look even better when you get that low on there!

So I've hated the chrome outer door handles on the esky since I bought it. I've looked and looked for a denali getting parted locally to no avail. So I ordered some ebay 3m stick on full door handle covers for a burb, tahoe, ect. The outter covers have a keyhole in them which wouldn't work but I figured I could just use the outer covers. I didn't want to try wrapping or painting them so this was the next best option. I think it looks pretty darn good until I can track down a proper set. Also If anybody needs the outer cover they are yours (will fly on your dime).

Took off the roof rack yesterday and also gave her a quick bath. Also bought this CTS. I can wait to get the esky more low. Axel socket should arrive today and hopefully the weather the stays halfway decent tomorrow so I can get it done.

That would be badass!

I threw the crown kit on today. Was a pretty easy install. The fit of the spindles was great. I haven't had the chance to run it through the alignment shop yet but I'm already very happy with the way it drives. It's like a huge comfy go kart. Sorry for the crappy pic I'll get some better ones tomorrow.

Why did you take them off?

Why did you take them off?

They were to soft for my taste. Everyone has different ride preferences so I wanted to try bilstein.

I actually just got done installing a set of sp's about and hour hour ago. when I was doing the drop kit I noticed the rear shocks had some tearing in the boots so I did the amazon thing. Now the front of my esky is sitting taller with these shocks than with the oem ones. Anybody know If these things settle down or what would cause this?

If it has torsion bars in the front and time u Jack it up an let it back down it will sit tall and after u drive about 30 ft it will settle back down

Every time I meant to say

It will do this with any sprung suspension setup. Mine ('08 with struts in the front) is almost an inch higher every time I first set it down. Rolling backward and forward about 10' brings it down some, but taking it down the road and back to hit some dips and bumps settles it down.

Thanks Fellas. I did a quick down the block trip last night and thats what had me post the question. But after running it around today it's settled back down and shes looking good again.View attachment 240063
