Hey yall. Just bought my 2wd '11 Denali Yukon XL a few weeks ago and really like it. I would like to drop the nose a bit though. It sits up pretty nose high for my taste. I'm thinking of using 2" drop spindles so as to not upset the ride height sensors up front and the front shocks normal position, if that matters. I'm guessing this thing has the magnetic fluid front shocks? They have an electrical connection on them. Anyways, I'm curious as to how the leveling system works. I know it has an air pump and air shocks on the rear but does the sensor look at vehicle angle or ride height? Can it be manipulated? I think the rear sits low enough before it's pumped up but don't know how the truck will act with the dropped front. Thanks

Oh yeah. Is there any easy way to stiffen up the steering a bit? This thing feels like my grandma's caddy.

ive lowered tons of the new trucks with autoride. Front my strut mod plus camber kit rides fine.

in rear you run this kit

00-15 rear autoride all works the same.

IF you dont do the exteners the shock shaft will get pushed so far in and it affects ride a lot.

front/rear bars will get rid of the sloppy feeling
