Lifting 2003 Yukon Denali

[redneck24v]

I am new here, but am trying to find information. Is it possible to lift an 03 yukon denali with z55 autoride more than just the shackle lift and coil spacer, Im looking to lift it 4-6", if it can be done, where do I find a lift kit for it??? thanks

I won't pretend to know a whole lot about suspensions but I know this can be done. I'm pretty certain nobody makes a kit to lift it like you're looking for, I'm pretty sure you'd have to piece together seperate components and from what I've been told it isn't a cheap. Like could buy a second truck not cheap.

Yes, theres a few lifts that could be purchased to lift your Denali...I will look for the websites in a little bit and post links...but right now, Im gonna run out and get Jack In The Box real quick...so brb

^^haha. don't do it though, it wouldn't look good on a denali

Im really just wanting to fit 33's under it, could it be done with some kind of a leveling kit for the front? and leave the back stock? It is the AWD.

You dont need a 4inch lift to fit 33's. Are you wanting to run 285/70/17 or a true 33? If you want to run a 285/70/17 you only need keys and spacers. The autoride is definitely a pain in the ass when it comes to these trucks. I would make sure what ever you do isnt going to put anymore stress on those shocks as they are no cheap.

 

[redneck24v]

a 32.whatever would be fine, im not going to mount on a factory rim, would probably go with an 18, but do i really need a rear spacers, I was hoping to not even mess with the rear end.

to fit 33s your gonna need keys and spacers. Ford F150 keys will give you 2-2.5"s. Spacers range anywhere from 1 to 3"s. I would go with a 1.5" spacer.

[redneck24v]

will the spacers not affect the autoride or have any hindrance to them?

 

[BlizzardX23]

yes...they will...your talking about coil spacers? or a body lift?

with a body lift, no....they wont affect the AutoRide

with coil spacers, yes, they will, you will have to get longer links...which I can cut for you and mail in a regular paper envelope if you want.

 

[redneck24v]

Man that would be awesome, what would it cost me?

nm. i dont have autoride. didnt catch that part.

 

[AquinoSteven]

yeah, im not to familiar with autoride but it looks like Blizzard has the answer. I say go for it.

 

[BlizzardX23]

Well...It would be a test situation as I have never made longer links...I made my shorter links and they work perfect though so I can use the same math and make longer links...or you guys can do it if you want...I just already have the right size metal rods.

The stock links are 4 inches long. For every in lowered, you much cut 1/4 inch off the link. For ever inch lifted, you must ADD 1/4 inch to the link

So if you add a 3 inch lift to your truck, your stock 4 inch links must be 4 3/4 inch long...since you need to add 3/4 inch after lifting truck

Sorry to bring up an old thread but how did this turn out and what size rod was used. I'm looking into doing the same thing with my 05' hoe.

that looks good. i want that stance. are these the green keys? what size tire is that?

 

[andrix]

I know this is an older thread but do you know what the lift is on this truck? No way is it just a 6" procomp. This is the exact setup im looking for.

 

[tadallic]

Yep , I would also like the same look for my AWD 02....
