Started a thread a while back talking about upgrading from our 2012 Eski Premium to a 2017 Denali and well.....the 2017 is here, finally cleaned up and ready to roll! Just need to get the windows tinted and she is done!

Ended up doing a 1.5" Suspension Maxx level lift and a set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 305/45 r22. Turned out pretty cool but did have to trim just a little bit off the Husky mud flaps. It had a slight rub but only when going in reverse, turning and backing out of the driveway. Quick little trim and presto!!

We have only driven it a little bit but I can tell you wow what a difference from the Eski!! Internal comfort and electronics on the inside are crazy compared to the 2012 we had.

So big thanks to all the guys that had previously responded to the other thread and a thanks in advance for all the future assistance!

Did you add those 6.2 emblems? Hadn't noticed those before. Both trucks look great!


Thanks and yes, added the small 6.2L logo for something different. There small and a two tone metal, black and silver thus matching really well. The wife and I always likes “different” things (probably why she married me) and it’s nice so she’s not walking up to the wrong Denali in the mall parking lot. Lol

Plus had to represent H.D. !!

Little raised chrome lettering. Kinda hard to see in the pic but looks pretty cool in person.
