thanks really appreciate it! looks like I'm gonna have to trim a little to. looking at other trucks in my neighborhood.... most are trimmed too. I'm going to my local 4x4 shop for alignment and will talk to them about my options. Just need to buy a dremal or body saw. thanks again.

also did you or are you thinking about a gear swap?

 

[SLCHOE]

No gear swap planned. Already have 4.10s and seem to be pretty good for daily driving.

I'm confused because looking at the pic of your mid lift with the 35's up front it appears to be centered in the front wheel well. Maybe it was just the angle.

Ronnie,

Not to hijack the thread, but how is the fit with the 20s and 5.75 BS? Rough Country's website says no more than 4.5 BS. Your wheels are almost the same specs as mine, but I dont know if my wheels would fit with the lift? Does the rim come close to rubbing the upper ball joint or the control arm at full lock?

Good luck fixing the rubbing, it looks awesome!

not trying to hijack, but is there any need on the yukons to correct the pinon angle with control arms? those control arms from spohn look awesome for replacements for the flimsy factory ones but what is the improvement on installing them?

ended up taking out the leveling kit and remounted the bumper forward 1.5". fender looks more inline with the bumper now and didn't have to trim at all. all is good with the rims and rubbing and no vibrations with the driveline. so so-far I am extremely happy with the setup. the lift rides great and love the new look. if anyone has questions let me know.

backspacing on the rims worked out great. no issue what so ever. wanted the them to be mostly flush with the edge of the fender. the might stick out 1/2 to 2/3" past the fender. I personally don't like the tires sticking out past the fender. just my personal preference.


I probably will eventually get the adjustable control arms because its kind of a eye sore with the wheels being off center in the rear but not as bad with the lift spacers removed. just gonna enjoy it now.

also if anyone wants the leveling kit PM me. it's 3"keys with 2" aluminum rear spacers. you'll just need to get shock spacers. $100.

Ronnie,

Please post some final pics so we can all see the Denali sitting on 35s without trimming!

Thanks!

here are the final pictures.

6" RCX NTD lift, the rear is sagged a little but that's due to my air suspension. when I start up the truck my ride levels and raises the rear 1/2" for a leveled look
