Lifted Denali with pics and question.

[Jonah52]

Im shooting for something like these. Either stock keys cranked or aftermarket keys just not fully cranked. Will my CV angles and everything be ok with the stock keys cranked? Also Im gonna pull of the running boards (Even though people give a lot of flack for this) and run either 33's or 35's. Will I have any rubbing issues?

Also am I better off just cranking the stock keys or getting aftermarkets? If I crank the stock ones too far will my angles suffer to the point that i should have just got aftermarket keys? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Could I use a 4WD Tahoe 3'' front spindle lift?

I'd throw some of these on:

2002 Denali with ford keys, 2.5'' rear spacer and 36'' mud terrains. This thing would look huge without running boards.



2005 Sierra denali with i think just stock keys cranked and 35's

Anybody?

Cranking the stock keys will ride like $hit...the truck will want to wander all over the road..better off getting lift keys. And the CV angle will change with stock keys or lift keys...the way to prevent that is to use lift spindles IIRC

Any cranking of any Key , Stock or aftermarket will wear front end parts and as mentioned ride like crap.

IMHO buy a Diff drop lift

I only want 2" of lift though so what's the best way to do that? So many people on gmfs run keys, spacers and 33's, and that's what I want. So how do I get that?

 

[JayXSP]

Looks like u just answered your own question. Keys and spacers. Your done. Ford Purple keys are a 2" lift (or go the ebay route) and get aluminum spacers for the rear. Do not get the plastic ones.

Ya that's what I what bit that's what DonYukon said not to do. The stock tires are 32.4 inches tall and I want a 33 so I'm not gonna crank anything very much.

Where would I find lift spacers and different keys. as I want to lift my 04 Denali XL.

Cranking keys whether they be stock or aftermarket will change the angles and will ride rough regardless. The amount cranked is what will ultimately affect thr ride quality. I have my stock keys cranked 1" and ride quality change was minimal

Even if everyone is doing it...it will still be a very stiff ride. People's opinion on if it is too rough or acceptable is what will vary. I use to have just 2" coil pacers on my gmc Sierra and I will NEVER again do something like that. I don't mind a firm ride but it was brutal. Many will claim that it rides like a "truck" but to me it rode like a truck with fixed suspension that had no travel.

This is all my opinion. There will be plenty that disagree
