[justblazz00]

i have an 03 denali xl and wanting to see if i can run LCA and spindles together or will that be too low . and in the rear what should i run . im running 24's and want the lowest as possible but keep a really good ride . i still pull with it so i need to keep the ride rite . any suggestions would help

3/5 Drop

You can use both, but with 24s, you might be sitting too low. I'm using 2" spindles with the keys cranked down and I'm sitting just above the tire. Currently I'm using DJM 5" coils in the rear and I dont have any problems towing the boat or loaded car trailers.

so a 3/5 sounds like the plan . whats the best kit that i should use . plus im wanting to get front/rear swaybars .

DJM kit will handle the weight better because they have a stiffer spring
Belltech has among the best ride quality
but a vendor on here "DJM DIRECT" has been doing testing with the TrailBlazer SS drop coils that are a better ride than the Belltech and will sit you lower

talk to him for 3/5 kit he does both DJM and Belltech
any other company and you will probably be disappointed with a 3/5 kit

If you decide to go with the softer Trailblazer SS coils like mentioned above, you might need a set of helper bags for the rear if you tow anything heavy.

honestly id go with 3 inch a arms front and rear djm hardware kit, djm shocks and with the trailblazer 4 inch drop spring and ride will be great.

 

[justblazz00]

what about the auto ride . i was wanting to keep it or should i get read of it

 

[NORCAL SS]

if you get rid of it will go down farther and still ride great with the set up i hinted to above.

 

[justblazz00]

i just dont want it to sag when im pulling something or should I just bag the rear. price check on the stuff u said to use .

Belltech 5305 coils! They give you damn near 5in drop in the rear, and are true progressive rate spring. I towed several cars since installing them, and no issues whatsoever. Plus they ride like stock.

I will say this. I have Bilsteins with 5305s and DJM lower control arms on my Yukon XL. What works on a Tahoe will not work the same on a Yukon XL or Suburban. I took a lowering kit off my wife's truck because it rode too rough and put it on a Tahoe.....rode stock. Granted mine weighs a good bit more with stereo and the entire truck having 2 and 3 layers of sound deadening. I am selling my DJM lower control arms and am going to order spindles. I have gone from 2-3 with Spring Tech rear coils and stock shocks, then Doetsch Tech shocks.....rode like shit. Put the same kit on a Tahoe like I said, the 50 year old owner LOVED it. Installed the DJM 3-5 kit with the DJM shocks, rode like shit. Everyone on here says that the 5305s and Bilstein shocks are the closest to a stock ride.....still not 100% happy but better. If the spindles and helper bags in the 5305s don't cure the ride the truck will have the starring role in a damn bonfire.

i think im going to just play around with for awhile and see what going to ride good . im trying get the right offset wheels too so the will tuck and not have worry about rubbing tires on the fenders . its my wife's denali xl so i dont want her bitching at me bc it rides like shit . we had a tahoe and she complained about it al the time but didnt want to raise it up bc she like the way it looked . geez woman!!!! so i dont want to go down the same road with her on this .she wants to be low as possible but will ride good .
