i don't think upside down would make a difference they should still compress the same looks real good just a bit lower in the back would be perfect

max knows what he's talking about and my truck confirms it. i got about 3/4" more drop in the back swapping out the rear oem shocks for some bilstein HDs.

well fatnlow that was the debate yesterday as well as your tires being 305's and mine being 295's would it really make THAT big of a difference in ride height

max I think they are the 5305 its fatnlows old kit and I think I read in the for sale thread he posted you said they were

noob thought... maybe the coils are upside down?
would it make a difference considering they are progressive rate?

I know the back needs to come down more :)

mine were 295s with the DUB Condos, and it didnt make much of a difference, but you can see how mine came out sitting that low the the drop shocks i had...so the drop shocks made some sort of difference..

so I'm thinking I will get the drop shocks next week so Blizzard can eat his words about drop shocks not making it lower..
I'm thinking he doesn't want me to be lower than him in the back :)

Still hate'n :nono:

lol...its kool...its not everyone's cup of tea

I liked it before but now you have some crazy ricer shit going down. Maybe it's the overuse of anodized red but I don't like the way it's going. Guess I'll just have to wait and see how it looks with fresh paint and everything finished.

Its good to hear people speak their honest opinion...so thanks :Handshake:

The red I'll be using for the rims will be the same red as the grill...so no chrome/anodized red...So far, I've found $500 for all 4 rims PC'd red...that includes sandblasting, PC, and warranty

As for the exhaust...I dont know WHAT Im going to do with that..I dont even know if I'm going to keep it or go back to stock yet

Nice I'm a fan of no exhaust just angle it toward the ground after the rear axle and it sounds great :imo: with no drone. Some other trucks look good with duals I just think these denalis should have a single out the passenger side or just it so it isn't visible. Wheel color choice is a very difficult decision I've been trying to find some 22s for over a year that I can paint to correspond with a 2tone. No more go fast parts until you get some paint yo!

22" KMC Slides or Lorenzo WL20s in black will look toooo HOT on your Denali!

lol..I know I know...I gotta clean it up for sure...what I wanna do is repaint it all black (maaaaaybe...slight maaaybe a DARK subtle cherry tint to the black) and repaint the grill with the same red, and paint the rims same color red as grill....only thing stopping me is that where I live, we have really "hard" water...and I dont wanna paint the truck till I get my own house (with a garage to park in)...thats why I'm letting this paint go to hell...cuz I have to paint it anyways..

Audi LY9B deeeeeep black with a little pearl tossed in would look **** and is the route I would go if I ever paint this thing again. Shave everything, esky roofrack painted to match the grill/wheels/etc. would look dope on a denali. I may just buy a set of slides and see how I like em, can always sell for profit. Just sucks all the wheels I like have something that doesn't rest well I may end up with some custom shit from intro just so nobody else has them. Damn money pits.

1. Your oem rear shock bodies may be contacting the axle restricting the amount of drop.
2. Shock extensions add travel to the rear suspension, thus increasing ride quality.
3. A slightly shorter shock is recommended even with the extensions due to the amount of rear drop.
4. Any aftermarket shock will ride exponentially better than the oems.
