...Better for what?

Lowered.

 

[Protoje]

Whats better?

Just for overall drivability and choice

 

[blackelky]

Probably lowered ppv style has the best handling characteristics

Better looks? I like lowered and lifted. I have a 08 Silverado lowered on airbags and my 21 Suburban is lifted.

4" of lift looks great IMHO. Someday...

The ride usually suffers some with lowering (I had my '09 Tahoe lowered), and raising it might bring accessibility to parking garages and whatnot issues into play. There are trade-offs all ways.

Lifted in the front, lowered in the back just like the trucks down south.

It depends to a certain extent on what you intend to do with the truck. If you are into semi-serious off-roading, you may want to consider lifting the truck. If you are driving primarily on paved roads, I suggest keeping the suspension the way that it was designed. If you want some improvement in handling performance, get a set of Hellwig front and rear sway bars.

Does leveling it cause the fluid reading to be off? When I check the oil in my sloped driveway it reads overfilled, but its perfect on level ground.

It changes the angle of the engine by zero point nothing degrees, so not really.

Stock works for me.

Yeah, I'm not messing with the suspension on my '23 Denali. It looks and rides great as-is. I'll continue to look forward to seeing what others do re: lifting/lowering their trucks, but am otherwise going to sit this one out.

I like staying lifted. I can see traffic ahead and anticipate making a lane change before anyone catches on. That way I'm ahead of the curve and can avoid being stuck.

Saw what looked to be like a 6" lift on a Yukon (non-AT4) the other day...was not a fan.

That's too much for a newer Yukon. They're not made for that anymore. No one wants a 60k+ SUV to ride like a truck, I sure wouldn't.

Lowered.

Praise the Lower-ed...

I think if you're going to raise or lower the truck seems best to start with something that doesn't already have factory magnaride or air ride. Truthfully I kinda shake my head at the guys around here who mess with the fancy factory suspensions and then have a million questions about trying to make the truck ride like nothing happened.

Personally I like lowered just a a bit but then I miss the GM B-body station wagons of yore.
