I have an 05 Denali and I have had it lowered for awhile now with drop keys up front and belltech springs in the back. Well I finally ordered all new shocks, spindles for the front, and the rear DJM hardware kit. This past weekend I installed the new shocks and hardware kit in the rear and cut all the dead coils off my belltech springs. I also cut off the bump stop bracket. I got the rear sitting at 31" on my 24's, it sat at 33.5" before I cut the springs. My axle hits the frame every now and then but overall I really like the ride. Just thought I'd share some pics with you guys.

I used the sawzall. I didn't take the time to grind the excess off the sides of the frame right now because I am going to be bagging it shortly so that will all get cut out with the notch.

The tires are 275/30/24.

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I wont stop until she's on the ground but I've at least got the look I'm going for until I can afford the bags.

airlift helper bags in rear will help ride plus keep it from bottoming out.
