I'm new! 2003 Yukon Denali

[HiHoeSilver]

Hello from Northern AZ. I have a 2004 Yukon Denali that I too off-road and people think I am crazy for it. I have not lifted it, but I have deleted the stock suspension set up for a Bilstein set up. These shocks have performed absolutely phenomenal on and off road. While I have not taken the truck on anything too technical that a Jeep may go on, I have pushed this thing pretty hard, through most types of terrain including mud, snow, and ice. It has performed great and I have never had any issues regarding traction or possibly getting stuck.

It is really great finding people who off-road in these tanks and if you ever have any questions, ill do my best to answer!

Which bilsteins did you use?
Wheel/tire setup?

Went with the 5100 series shocks. Also replaced my rear coils because I heard I needed to since no more air shocks to help hold up the rear end. Wheels are stock Denali boys, and tires are 265/70/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W ( Could Definitely Fit Bigger Size )

Welcome. Good looking Denali.

We do probably have an infinite number of places to off-road in Oregon. I'm in Corvallis but don't get off the beaten path much. I have a 2003 Tahoe, and am curious what you did for an audio system. I have a Bose system but the radio/CD needs replaced.

Hi I'm new here too.
From houston tx
I got a 2002 denali awd with airride

Everyone is saying they deleted the autoride
How? Did yall simply take the fuse out or bypass the compressor?

I heard to get rid of the wobble to get a double cardan joint. Rough counter sells one for about 500$ I think. It's the whole driveshaft too.

I'm going with a similar setup as well
Blistein shocks
2 inch level.
Keys
Double cardan joint
And spacers in the rear
But I'm using my stock 17s to fit 33s/285

Has anyone done this? Thank you in advance

I wouldn't look for a response from him. This is an older thread and he hasn't been on here in nearly 3 years.

Hey everyone in Chase! I got my bone stock Yukon Denali about a year and a half ago from a gmc dealership with good records, regular maintenance and in very good condition. First thing I did was audio. Recently I've been getting into offroading though. Only light stuff but I would like to hit some trails. I got 285 all terrain tires with some black wheels, i read that they wouldnt rub, and they rubbed bad in reverse turning. Ive done a bunch of research but can't really find much info on the suspension and AWD system, and I'm no mechanic, but I always heard it's basically not possible/stupid to modify. But I'm stubborn, and I love my truck so I got the rough country 2 inch level tortion lift. with new front shocks. I think. It rides perfect, sits taller, and the tires don't rub. Only downside is when I floor it, it wobbles really hard. like really hard. I can still get up and go real quick, it's only when I really floor it. But I shouldn't drive like that anyways lmao, so I shouldnt complain. So I have a few questions, anyone out there with the same model? Anyone know about the AWD capability offroad? And does anyone in the Portland area want to hit some trails sometime?
Nice to meet you all!

Do you still have it ? Curious on the pix with the lift. I too want to get 285/70r17 but a little worried about rubbing. I eventually want to lift it around 2”
