I also have a 2007 gmc Yukon Denali xl . Man I’ve been dying to get a 6 inch lift installed. And you have the exact tire and wheel set up I want to run 35x12.5x22 I think that size just sets the truck off.
Clean bro I have a 2010 Yukon Denali have the same kit but I put the coil over rough country kit and upgrade the rear shocks to the fox 2.0 and some rock lights and also added some 24 by 14 and 37 inch tires
I used to do this but not anymore I thought I was cool going down the road but it actually looks dumb so now I do just a poke or maybe it's because I'm just getting old
Hope I can get some feedback &help plz. I live in California have a 2005 denali xl and can’t find a place to lift my truck,want to go 7” with spacers on rear to level up truck 🆘 plz
I live in Idaho man, I’m not sure of any places in California that could help you. Best is to just do a bunch of research into shops in your area and read reviews.
This is not a "How To" video. Also, no mechanic can "quote" a job like that because they discover everything that needs replacing as they take it apart.
Good vid but I didnt see you use and loctite on the spacers. The center ring is to help keep the wheel centered it does not prevent the wheel from falling off due to improper inistallation. Again good video. I went with 1.5 spacers
Thats 10th gen, right? If they're as good as 9th gen with L83 Vortec and 4L60E then all you gotta worry about is transmission slipping every couple hundred thousand miles or so
@@DadRigDerrick I ordered some Bora’s for my 17 Silverado after watching this. They’re currently sitting on my garage ready to be installed. Looks great.
I got the 07 Yukon Denali as well, but with the short wheel base. I put on myself the 3.5" leveling front and 3" spacer rear and a 3" body lift and managed to fit 35x12.5x22 mud terrains on my rig with some trimming. I maintained my air ride and kept my drive shaft angles within a safe range of operation. I also added a 1"drop spacer to the front diff to reduce cv angles, added custom leveling sensor brackets to the rear and an aftermarket upper control arms to aid lift. I love the slightly stiffer ride for corners and the ability to keep the air ride suspension. I spent less than $500 for the parts. I'm now interested in running 37" mt's, so I'm curious about doing this lift. You needed custom front drive shafts for the added driveshaft angles to the awd tcase? You keep the air ride components and if so, there were custom spacer brackets made for the rear shocks? These kits generally aren't available for the awd gm vehicles do to additional components needed for the awd and air suspension.
Thanks for the comment man! Actually, bummer is, this lift replaced the air ride suspension which was something I knew going into it. The rear shocks do have new placement mounts for the increased height.
For me, no spacers on the transfercase, only 1" front differential drop for reduced cv shaft angles. Denali are primarily awd, but may have some 2wd out there, but not 4wd. This guy is using a rough country kit for a tahoe modified for his Denali. When using a lift over a few inches, it's best to use double cardigan driveshafts front and rear to reduce stress on the awd transfercase. I just did a 2.5/3 inch lift combined with a 3" body to fit 35" and maintain air ride. Still working to this day and run forest trails in the nw on occasion.
I lifted my suburban and did the whole front end in Texas same set up as you and I only payed $450 for installation and on the whole front end I spend $1,600 including labor heating your prices is crazy! Nice build though 🤙🏾
Live in Houston,TX. Had a 2018 Escalade lifted with an FTS. Replaced sway links with install and alignment for $1150. I would agree they got down on the price.
