Leveled denali 33's

[ROBELLO_103]

So after reading this forum and not knowing if my AWD Denali would shake with a leveling kit or not, I went with a 30 dollar ebay 2in leveling kit. Luckily for me she drives fine. So I then researched what size tires I could get away with without rubbing. Everyone said 285 were the biggest. I tested that theory also and got 305/60r18's and with no trimming they dont rub at all. If anything the rear rubs on the inside when making a sharp turn haha.

So here she is before and after pics. 2008 AWD Yukon Denali 2in Level in front with 305/60r18 Mickey Thompson MTZ's

I thought the difference tween front and rear was 1.5" ... probably why you have a whisper of cali lean.

Looks good tho.

(I'd loose the Denali nameplates on the doors imo)

 

[ROBELLO_103]

Yea im originally from california so I tend to have the lean on my vehicles.. LOL

 

[Gzes]

Looks good glad to have another yuk that's not lowered

 

[NathanJax]

looks good!

 

[jdpber]

Lookin good

Looks like you've got a bit of Cali-lean up front now. Maybe get a .5" or 1" spacer in the rear to completely level it? Looks much better though!!

Removing third row seats actually helps a lot with the lean. I used to have a slight Cali lean and taking them out pretty much leveled it out. Although I don't have autoride don't know if that helps it or not.

 

[felixgun]

Autoride vehicles sit lower then non autoride vehicles.

 

[ROBELLO_103]

It doesnt have the 3rd row seats in any of the pics. But all my cars have a little Cali lean

 

[KMeloney]

You LIKE the lean, or your cars just tend to have it?

Personally, I don't like it. I think your truck would look a ton better level. Right now it's not level, and looks like it has something heavy in the back.

Incidentally, the body lines of these trucks (rear handles are higher than the front handles, etc.) make the trucks look like they're leaning even when they're perfectly level. But you're not even level right now.

I'd add a spacer to the rear -- and you'll probably do away with the rear rubbing issue at the same time.

It looks Awsome, Will have mines on around Sept.!

 

[ROBELLO_103]

Yea I like the lean.. it might be a little too much lean but dont think ill add a rear block. Thinking of putting wheel spacers all the way around and that will fix the rubbing

 

[Brock]

LIKE IT!!! Refreshing to see guys going UP instead of down! Yea, I put spacers on mine too but still rubbed front & rear. Rear fix was easy=just trimmed the plastic back a little. The front was way more difficult. Its mainly the width of the tire, plus what back set your wheels have.

Looks good and I like that its different from most other denalis

I'm sure you probably can't go any bigger without going up but those tires almost look too small. Probably just an optical illusion. The rear wheel openings on those is always awkward to me and probably what is making the tire look so small to me. Good lookin' Hoe, man

Problem is I went with 22 inch wheels that make the 33 inch tires look small. May try to stuff 35s next time but would have to do some cutting which I am not fond of .

Just get some 2" wheel spacers and they will look right. Its the stock offset tucked under the body and angle of picture. I'm an easy 7" maybe 8" on 33.5s and it doesn't look weird.

Yeah I agree, wheel spacers will definitely make them look better.

And you can trim discretely on these vehicles to fit much bigger tires, and have it look factory (not hacked) if done right.
