2004 Denali XL

[04xl]

its official I am going with Gianelle Spieza 6s... 24s and a 2/3... The guy was telling me there is also some keys or something that are adjustable and can make it even lower but not all Denalis have them....Thanks for all the advice and def. will get some pics up when she is done

nice and FYI all Denalis have torsion keys well at least our years. If you can go with the drop from Norcal the 3/5.5 I think you will like that more.

Better than the 2/3 Im not sure if your familiar with San Jose area but I am going to be going through California Wheels. I didnt really ask what kind of kit they were going to use but he told me that a 2/3 was the way to go. He said a 3/4 is really aggresive, but like i said before I am new to these trucks and appreciate all the help and advice. How much does one of those kits cost from Norcal cost?

Im very familar with the san jo area Im up there often. I had/ my belltech 2/3 and it is a very good kit. It is more agressive to go lower esp with the airride and such. I believe his kits for the 3 5.5 is about 900 the 2/3 kit is about 300/400. Ive never dealt with cali wheels but I heard that they are ok in customer service.

Why is it more aggresive to go with the air ride? does it make it sit lower? I have seen some pictures from the other guys on here with 2/3 and 3/4 kits and i like both. I am going to be going with a 305 35 24 tire. I just want to minimize the gap I have in my wheel well. I like the way your sat in the picture with the boat. Also thinking of getting some HIDs..

I'm sorry let me claireify, with the factory airride, I feel now I'm at the limit as low as I can go and still be able to retain the factory shocks it rode better set at the previous setting which was the 3" in the front with what your plan ng to do it should be no problems just make sure they do the free travel mod to get the most out of your suspension. Also if you have never driven on 24's before or with a lowprofile tire just keep an eye out for those big potholes on the freeway there's quite a few with all the construction going on up there. Get the HIDs you won't be disappointed its night and day difference.

I have a 35 series tire on my wifes car with 20s and yea I tell her to dodge the pot holes on 101 and 880 that are not really pot holes but more like land mines. ....DO you think the 2/3 is not going to sit low enough ? It seems like every suv i have seen depending on the kit sits different with the different types of 2/3 kits. I think if i went 26s with a 2/3 i would be good, but with 24s Im thinking a 3/4 maybe....Or maybe ill just go back and get 26s... haha

Yup def huge holes on both freeways! You will be fIne with a 3-4 just make sure they make shorter links for the autoride. One thing you will have to consider down the line is upgrading the brakes. 24's and def 26's will tax them quick most people do overlook that area but I def recommend it. It's not cheap but then again you do have to pay to Play.

So I just got my brakes done and after picking it up the message service tire control came u? Could it be something that the brake guys forgot to connect? Or if I do the lowering will it correct that problem? I read that it means I need new shocks...but if I'm lowering it etc won't that fix that

 

[westcoast]

do you have any pics of it now?
