I wanted my rig to have a slight rake to support my roof top tent and camping gear. The rig will be used for occasional camping trips and “off roading”. But for the most part mall crawler and soccer mom duties.

Here is my setup.

Front:
King 2.5 External resivor w/ adjusters
Camburg Upper Control Arms
Kryptonite HD sway bar endlinks


Rear:
King 2.5 Piggyback resivor w/ adjusters
Moog Rear Springs
2” spacers

Other:
Magdelete Bypass module (plug in play)
“SoCal Fender Mod” (My version of the NorCal mod)
Fender liner trim
Removed end cap for the front stock retractable running boards
Banks - Pedal Monster
Shift Technologies - transmission thermostat bypass mod

Wheels: Race Relation Wheels (RRW) RR5-H
17x8.5 0 offset (slight poke)
BFG K02 35x12.5R17

Looks awesome! I'm running a similar set-up but only 2.0s in the front and 33s. Would you mind posting a couple pics of where you had to trim in the front? Mine rub a bit at lock.

The rubbing for me happens at close to full lock. I took out the bumper support pieces in the front (where fender liner bolts up too) and front valance. Then I trimmed the fender liner in the rear. I still get some rub but I didn’t want to cut the liner too short.

Can you take two measurements for me?

1) At ride height: how much shock shaft is showing on the front coilover? From the wiper seal on the body to the bottom of the bump on the shaft. So the bottom of the shaft at the blue rod end.

2) what the distance is from the center of your wheels to the fender (front and rear).

This way we can determine lift and it is not dependent on tire size!

Thank you!!

(I have ads coilovers and border patrol rear springs. But I swear my truck is the same height as a regular Denali. It should be lifted almost 2 inches though)

Oh last question. On the kings. The public soring will have white numbers on it.
Can you let me know what they are? It will be spring length and spring rate.
I’m curious.

I’m running 600# springs on my Denali XL.
