I’m pretty sure this will work on my 16 Denali
The issue is I don’t want to go any lower than I am right now. I mistakenly bought a 3” Maxxtrac rear lowering kit instead of a 2”I bought all new Arnott MR front and rear but the rear sits 1/2 lower than the front and has a little too much of a bounce when driving. It’s smooth but if can get the full travel of the Arnott rear shocks I think it will be perfect

I don’t know. Kind of stuck
The issue you describe sounds exactly like the problem I was having. The 4" shock extenders I listed above are only $40 on ebay and can be returned within 30 days if they don't work out. I would highly recommend trying them. I'm guessing you already have 2" shock extenders on your Denali. Make sure these look like the ones you already have since they are listed as being for 2000-2006 model years (even though they fit on my 2007).

Maxtrac also sells a 4" shock extender: https://www.amazon.com/MaxTrac-401004-Shock-Extender-Coils/dp/B08CHZ34L1/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2FH3CMWY8B0J4&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Cyd8z-pD_aqEBKHs1Da6FOUUm-LVPKi_m9rKFBjiGDgr7F-uCRfpNPvS5V1fFWHynKmekzZTsfgGsbxgIyNapsokAIvUT-ma3wewYGf6R3AKbkcK0UH2KGJ6NByw8y4FD_ilEnPZ6Z0s7CP7ZTEccnk-M-7m76BIlaRI__G4LIGmlzUOY7yPbZZkAzAhqBBdpdI7xRczmdMxzu0f6qKLzNqg4bwXxWFCksJKXbvVkck.IOVnptz8FEQkkmE14P_zYx7T4EDG7uWOHOzHNp691GM&dib_tag=se&keywords=4"+shock+extender&qid=1724429900&sprefix=4+shock+extender,aps,137&sr=8-5

You could also buy a 1" spacer to bring your rear up: https://www.amazon.com/Takeo-Leveli...-2676-104-&vehicleName=2007+Cadillac+Escalade

Sounds good in theory but on paper but now my math isn’t mathing 4” extenders to bring it up ?
I think swapping the springs out would be although more $ the correct fix

No, 4" extenders to give you back lost shock travel. In my instance, when I lowered with the Belltech 4" lowering springs in the rear, I lost 4" of shock travel. The included shock extenders in my kit dropped the shock mounting point 2", giving me back 2" of the 4" of lost shock travel. I was still short 2" of travel. By installling these 4" shock extenders, I gain all my shock travel back after 4" lowering.

That’s what I was thinking originally but like all great ideas. You second guess yourself and in my case I’m all over the place. I guess for the money I can’t go wrong and it’s a great place to start

Thank you sir!!
