Yukon Denali Build

[grantbgood]

I have recently picked up a 2016 GMC Yukon Denali 4x4. I installed a SuspensionMaxx 2.5” leveling kit on the front yesterday and got it aligned today. Other mods that I have done include complete LED conversion and tinted the windows. Look forward to adding more upgrades in the future and get some new tread for it. Here are some pictures from when I bought it to now.

I see you found the right section and started the thread. Looking forward to seeing the progress. I have a thread here as well and am getting ready for some extensive work. Front and rear Hellwig sway bar kits, rear main seal, oil pump pickup tube and oil pan gasket, new trans mount, new rear coils-Moog 81069 and my new cluster that will have the transmission temp gauge in it. Soon will be taking my Z71 Spider web wheels and am going to black them out. After that a new exhaust and new tires. Just got the new cluster today.

Like @ivin74 said, that is a great color.

That does sound like your ride is getting quite the set up of upgrades! I will have to try to find your thread and check it out! I plan to trim the front bumper valance, get color matched or black gmc emblems, roof rack bars, large more aggressive tires and possibly Cadillac tail lights. Lol and the list goes on!

I will be replacing the stock low beam HID’s that are around 4300-4500k with aftermarket HID’s with 6000k tonight to better match the DRLs, Highs and Fogs. I will try to update with pictures soon!

Thank you! Haven’t done too much too the inside yet, bought a set of weather tech floor mats and a iottie phone holder. Ignore the dirty ness of the inside it needs to be cleaned!

Replaced the low beams tonight so now all lights on the vehicle are 6000k. 1st picture is low beams and fogs. 2nd picture is lows and highs. 3rd picture is a comparison on the garage door. (Driver is 6000k and passenger is 4300k)

Lookin good! That light output is impressive! What tires are you planning on getting? And are you sticking with the 22’s or going smaller? Also did you install the lift yourself?

What did you use for aftermarket HIDs?

Thank you! I am still shopping around for tires looking at the different options available, I am thinking either all terrain or mud terrain tires. I am going to keep the 22” wheels and yes I installed the lift within a couple hours in my garage.

Nice looking ride. Like the color.

Looks great! I recently purchased the Suspension Maxx 2.5" leveling kit myself but have yet to install it. How high did you end up going in the front? Did you go with just 2" or did you go all the way to 2.5" and remove the UBJ to do so?

Thank you! I ended up going 2.5” by using 4 shims on each side, I had to loosen the upper ball joint but it was not too hard to do so. Just make sure to get a alignment afterwards my angles we’re adjusted pretty bad.
