Yes, thanks. Surprised how much damage the G6 had and how little the Yukon had. She was pushed into me. I think the Jeep was pushed into her, too. Very lucky.

Got the truck back yesterday. Satisfied with the results. Have to wait 30 days for paint to cure before having it corrected and ceramic coated.

Some pictures of the repairs in process:

Gets lowered Tuesday. Going 1.5/4" with Tony's kit. Ready to get rid of that ridiculous rake. Hope to end up with around 1/2" of rake when it's all said and done.

Finally had a chance to take a picture or two since being lowered. Looks like the rear is lower than the front, but truck isn't running, so no AutoRide. This is 1.5/4.0, give or take.

What does its stance look like when it's running? Does it still look like its squatting?

Looks great! Doesn't seem like a little fender bender like that should even go on car fax...

I could lower the rear some more for less rake, but I'm content for now. Also discovered the truck's first door ding. Starting to think this thing is cursed. It's only 1/2" long shallow crease in the driver's door. Easily pressed out, but still maddening. Goes in to have the bumper cover ceramic coated and dent fixed on Monday.

Took a 600 mile round trip this weekend. Loaded out with 5 passengers, AC on and running 75-80, averaged 22.5 mpg on the way down and 23.0 on the way back. Much better than my 2013 would have gotten. I was impressed.

I think it looks great!! I personally wouldn't want the rear any lower but I'm also not into going too low.. Sucks to hear about the rock dent but it's probably better then it being a rock chip on the windshield. Road debris suck!

I've got almost the identical Denali...how did you tint the tails? I had mine tinted and now looking to do the tails for that blended look! Hope to do the same lowering kit soon!
