Like a lot of Denalis with rear air suspension, the tail sits too high for my tastes when I don't have the trailer hooked up. Does anyone make adjustable sensor links? On the BMW X5 I traded for this Yukon I was able to lower the entire SUV with H&R front coil springs and the adjustable rear links that were threaded so I could set the height where I wanted it. Basically shorten the links to trick the suspension control unit into thinking it was too high so it would lower the tail down.

Same concept with these trucks. Most drop kits should include shorter links. If not, you can make them yourself or I'm sure a few members have an extra set laying around.

Same general idea with the rear links.
I just ordered a 2" front drop and 3"-4" rear drop in addition to front and rear sway bars for my Denali.
Contact Tony, NorcalSS, here on the forum. Here's a link to his vendor section on the forum:

And a link to his web based store:

Tony's a great guy to deal with and knows more about the suspension on these trucks than just about anybody.

I bought by 2011 new with 408 miles on it. I look at it and always think the rear looks low and like it tipped to the back. Sitting next to my friends 11 Suburban LTZ you can see that mines quite a bit lower. No it makes me wonder if it was lowered a little. This was a GM's demo. He custom painted the badging and tinted the drivers and passengers front windows. Not sure if you can tell by my pics tough.

Sorry if this is thread hijacking
