Running boards vs. no running boards... I say you get the best of both worlds and make steps/rock sliders out of some out of 2x4 tubing. Form AND function.

**** gang haha. Gotta cut corners when funds are scarce. Once I get that front end up a little bit, ill be happy to put the running boards back on to tie the look all together. But right now it saves them from getting absolutely destroyed on trails.

FINALLY. Out with the Auto ride crap and in with the 5100's. These have made a huge difference so far and have actually made the rear sit slightly higher than it did before so that's good and bad haha. Overall the truck has increased height all around by about 1 inch. Front is still an inch or two lower than the rear. But I am content with what it is.

Not sure what I will be doing next, all depends on how well the school year treats the wallet. If anyone has ideas to keep with the offroading Denali theme, let me know!

Potato quality pictures for you all to look at haha.

I’ve read quite a few times on here the autoride-bilstein conversion produces higher rear than front stance. I think it has something to do with the coil springs but I could be wrong so don’t quote me on that haha. Ive heard that the bilsteins ride really nice though! Awesome work!
