Well nothing crazy obviously, didn't want to scratch her or get her too dirty. haha I was actually out looking at this new housing development on the outside of town and went down this dead end road where they havn't built anymore houses yet to find this big hillside and decided to drive up it to snap a few shots. Also of course I couldn't help but take a pick with the storage trailer near by as well...

Looks good! There are few members on here that go the leveled route with their Denalis.

Thanks, I actaully had a 2/3 drop at one point and loved the look, (pic below) but decided I didn't have the right wheels for the setup so I decided to go up instead and got the right tires for the wheels. haha

Looks clean. How did you end up lifting your Denali? My gramp's has a 2006 Denali he wants to lift another 2 inches or so and I was starting to look into how he could do it

I'm thinking with some leveling keys and then maybe some coil spacers he might get 2 extra inches or so?

I have Z71 springs on the rear which lifts it 2" and then just 2"-3" keys on the front. Rear sits at 39" to the center of the rear fenders and the fronts at 38 1/2" I could go up to 39" on the front, but for whatever reason like on most of these trucks the drivers side torsion is almost maxed out, and the passenger is only like half way. So I didn't way to max out the drivers side for an extra 1/2 inch. You could also do 2" spacers on the rear, I just had trouble fitting them in when I tired to do spacers so I just said screw it and bought springs off RockAuto.com for like $50. Same price as spacers and went right in, no prob. But if he still has the factory autoride hooked up, I'm not real sure how you have to go about doing it. You'd have to do some research on here, but I know it can be done.

Thanks man. I never though of just getting some Z71 springs. Yeah, Autoride is still hooked up I belive. I'll have to look into that.

RockAuto.com MOOG Part # 81069 is where I got the springs. Run about $68 shipped.

Just have to unhook the negative on the battery and take out the RTD fuse under the hood. Then just swap out the autoride shocks for gas shocks and you're good to go! Go service lights or anything.
