I have a 2/3 kit on my truck and it looks good but I want the back to be lower! Is it possible to do a 3/5 drop with the AWD Denali??

yesir, check out Max's threads. Correct if I'm wrong here max, but I think he has 5'' coils in back with shock extenders(not sure here about the shocks), pulled isolators and up front 2'' drop spindles and keys. Should be easy since I'm guessing you did springs and keys for the 2/3 just add some new rear springs and front spindles. Some other guys with more insight will chime in but theres a bit to get started with!

I'm bout 5/5 maybe a bit lower up front. No issues, just isn't low enough out back. Do some spindles and belltech 5305 or 23305 coils out back with some shock extensions. I swapped to bilstein shocks at all four corners and I'm running airlift inner spring helper bags. I'd say a 4/5 drop would look good on these I'm just waiting to drop the rear another 2" so I can drop the front an additional inch. You can clear a pretty big tire with lots of drop, I rub 275/55/20s but it isn't too bad. CV angles are still ok too

I live in Boca Raton. I'm running 302/35/24! I just want the truck to sit level and right ontop of the tire. I'll post pics today hopefully, if it doesn't rain and I can get her cleaned! Thanks for the input!

Looks pretty good, needs more drop and stock headlights :cheers:

I want it to sit like jk's tahoe!! What are your recommendations?
The headlights are stock minus the orange reflector! I bought them in '04 off a guy named Double O Denali.
You like the orange reflector better? :think:

Hmm they looked strange for some reason, figured they were halos or some shit. Truck looks great tho, I'd start by pulling the rubber isolators that go between your coils and it should drop another 1/2" or so. What are you running for drop up front, keys? JK has a 1" body drop but you can get that low with bags out back and some spindles up front if you're running drop keys.

Its a ground force 2/3 kit! I'm not sure what is used to lower the front! The only thing I know is that after I lowered it the rear was still way to high so I had to buy a shorter air ride bar to lower the ass which helped but I'm still not happy!

About what price range do you think it will cost to get my truck as low as your/jk's??

Keep your headlights they look much better and cleaner than the stock ones. Plus they match ur bumper lights housing. Nice truck
