Thanks for the positive comments everyone. I have had several sets of these Toyo M/ts on other trucks/yukons and they are really good tires....but you are spot on about keeping them rotated. They do sit really square on these wheels, which will help prevent the cupping issues that plagues some of these mud terrains.

The leveling kit is a custom kit put together by a friend of mine that owns Down East Offroad in Wilson, NC downeastoffroad.com

I'm not sure if he sells them for self installs or not. Probably would I guess.

So far, I have been in to the dealer and shown them what I did. I have bought my last 4 or so personal vehicles from them and all those had a mild lift and larger tires on them within 1000 miles of being new. Never had a warranty issue with them.

Actually just had to go in today to get scheduled for some warranty work. The stitching on the passenger headrest "Denali" the "i" is about unraveled. Also, the headliner around the dvd players and also the sunglass holder is fraying apart. Something I would not have expected from a vehicle with this price tag. So, looks like a new headrest is on order and a headliner replacement or repair.

Got about 1600 miles on the yukon now and everything has been working pretty well otherwise. Tires get a lot of looks.....most think it is crazy that I did it on a brand new Denali. I use the rig for family trips and also to go down to my hunt camp and hauling stuff around town, so it works for me and makes it not look so much like a soccer mom or grandma vehicle.....so I like it!

Looks awesome! How is the gas mileage? My wife has stock 2015 4x4 and she can get 21mpg highway. Just curious?? Looking at doing a similar except with Mickey Thompson 285/55 atz. Got them on my 2500 aside from the look it's a great ride.

Getting about 15mpg around town. maybe 18 on highway. I have the 6.2 in it and never really baby it off the line or anything....so I could probably do better...

What is the gear ratio on your Denali I see you ran a bigger tire just shy of 33 inch I was curious to know what your gear ratio is and is it slower to you off the line

I have just gotten back to town and have had a chance to drive it some more. Ride is good. Tires are a bit more noisy than stock ones, but I knew that would be the case with such an aggressive tire. With the radio on, it is not noticeable.

I got a couple of side shots, but was almost dark today when I had a chance to do so.

Truck is a 4x4
No rubbing that I've felt or heard
No fender trimming done.

Just wanted to know what your gear racial was cuz I know you went up a little bigger than stock tire how did that change your take off from the line slower?

Hey, I'm really digging the setup. I curious though about the custom lift kit. Are you keeping the magnetic ride control, and if so how does the ride feel? Most kits replace the shocks because the sensors go out of wack with pretty much any lift. Are there any sensor re-locators or whats the deal?
