2007 Yukon Denali Build (This got outta hand really quick...)

Did you use shortened ride height links? If not then yes the air ride will raise the rear up. You can use threaded rod and cut your own. I forget the exact length I ended up making mine but I dialed it in until it sat just right. Your rear looks high to me but maybe it's because I'm running 26's. At that point you'll probably need the free travel mod.

I should have clarified, it used to have Auto Ride, I removed everything... I still wouldn't mind the rear down another inch but figured I would let it settle first and get the front squared away. I just recall Tony telling me the BellTech stuff doesn't drop AutoRide trucks as much, not sure if it matters if it's kept or not. I'm on a 22" wheel, stock height.

I'm at 3 inches in the rear and got about an inch to bump stop . I'll end up doing the free travel mod eventually bc I bottom out on big dips on the roads. Oh and it will settle after a few weeks

Thanks for the info, yours a NNBS? 3" looks to be about what I got out of the rear. I could always go lower but wanted to see how much it actually settles. What size tire/wheel are you running? After compressing one of the tires, I just don't see how it could possibly hit the frame. I could be wrong, time will tell and I guess I will be in the same boat as you and just do it eventually if needed.

Looks great! You look about the same as I'd be in the rear once mine settles but I definitely gotta drop my front another 1". I'm not sure why I didn't get as big of a drop as I wanted. I used 2" drop Silverado spindles and then used 3 rings on my Adjustable strut which should have put me down total of 3.5" in the front.

Now the Struts gotta come back out :-( I really wish these were adjustable like the QA1 Coil Overs in my Camaro lol... Oh well

Correction after pulling up the Adjustable Strut instructions... I used 3X 8mm rings which "should" drop an additional .5" over OEM height plus my 2" drop spindles only giving me a 2.5" drop. Not enough for me. Looks like I need to remove 2X of them and just run a single 8mm spacer to give me a total of 3.5" of drop in the front. I guess my concussion and excitement to get this shit together ultimately bit me in the ass as now I've gotta take the front end apart again. Oh well, it's the price we pay to do this stuff. I thought the Silverado 2" drop spindles were "2" or more" but I think that has more to do with the geometry and being able to drop more than 2" without affecting alignment angles. I misunderstood and thought it might give me a little more than a 2" drop.

Love the build so far. Nice work!

What struts do you have in the front?

Finally got my correct Y pipe so this truck might actually be on the road again soon lol... I actually got 2 sets for the price of 1. If I don't get charged for the 2nd set of Kooks Y Pipes, someone here is gonna get a great deal lmao...

Kooks Y Pipes:


Also finished the valve job on my heads and cleaned up the deck. Just need to assemble them...



I decided to get the SLP resonator delete... I really wanted a large side exit tip and had a lot of trouble finding one that was 3.5" inlet. This will look great and I might coat it black...

WOW, you sir do not mess around. Love it and all the progress.

Do you think you'll be able to post up a parts list for the LSA swap?
What was wrong with the original Y-pipe you ordered?
