33"s on a stock denali xl

[Boyntonx2]

I have a set of 20" Konig rims with 275/60r20 goodyear wrangler hp tires on them that I had on my leveled 07 suburban. There was now way they would fit on that truck stock, and even after leveling required minor trimming since it rubbed a little. I just got my 11 denali xl in november and noticed it seems to sit a bit higher in the front than the suburban did. have been itching to see if they might possibly fit without leveling since I really don't want to mess with auto ride. Even though I won't be putting these on for a bit since we are still getting random snow and the roads still have a ton of salt on them I finally had time to mess around, and success! they fit with some minor modification to the wheel well. I was able to tuck the liner behind the front bumper and will be adding a few zip ties to pull it up a little farther.
Of course I forgot to take pictures with the Konigs on, but I will get some once they are on for the summer


So here's what I did to the liner

Secondly, anyone know what these are? And what are they for? They were behind the fog lights, and once removed give the room to pull up the liner

Yes those are the bumper brace corners. The bumper needs them to stay rigid. You can trim them with pro comp lift kit instructions. I used a 2" L bracket and reinstalled some screws through the large hole in the liner to make it look factory. However you should do a level kit on the denali. Plenty easy to do it with no issues.

I have a 2011 Suburban LTZ with the auto ride. If the Yukons are like the burbs I wouldn't go more than 1.5" or it will lean (or at least appear that way). I just have the spacers and zero issues with the autoride since its within the range of the sensor.

I was just trying to show that it can be done without leveling. I have a kit for it, just haven't put it on yet. Also I don't think those bumper place things are needed so they are staying off lol

You should keep it and trim it like the following except the corner where it mounts to bumper corner.

That's good info, thanks!

So I went ahead and put the rims on. Rubbed a little on the front mud flaps so I removed them and all is well now. And yes I know the trucks dirty, but it's been rainy and cold up here
