After buying and selling 4 Denalis in the past 5 years I found the one I want to keep. My first one was a 01 XL that I had for 12 years! So now I have my 08 and I'm thinking of a 3/4 drop or a 4/5 drop. What is the best way to do this and maintain a good ride quality. I will put in resistors to fool the RTD and probably use air lift bags in the springs for the rare time I tow anything. I have done spindles and springs in the past on my 01 but want a little more than the 2/3-4 I had. I'm all ears and open to all options. If I need to relocate the rear lower control arms or go adjustable For the best ride I will. A full air suspension is not in the budget unfortunately.
So I'm sitting back and ready for the info to flow.

I should also mention that I do need to replace the front struts and rear shocks. The air bags are blown and the compressor is toast.

I would look in the 08 section under street suspension

Do you like the way it rides, etc. as it is now?

Are you willing and able to cut on it?
