Intro-05 Denali Yukon shocks

[Zayzay]

That makes sense if the springs are to soft still, i didn't even consider that possibility. I need to head back to the drawing board and find out more about firmer springs i can put in.
and thank you for the recommendation, it might be a little out of the budget currently but hopefully i could do the entire kit down the road.

VIN number..... GM dealer..... they'll show you what was supposed to be under your Denali. That will guide you in your search.

Thank you for your assistance

I don't know, if you can find the coil spring rate, on your current set up..... I don't know if even GM can tell you the spring rate on the springs your Denali came with.....
( Maybe the diameter of the coil ?? )

Your RPO shows the "G65" which shows, your original shocks are an adjusting - height, setup.

NOT TRUE. G69 is shown, but not G65.

Show me the G65 on this sticker:

Let me put on my reading glasses......... Oh, ...yea......

if your Denali already has KYB Gas-adjust shocks those rear springs may already have been changed from OEM

Try and find the harness that used to connect to the shocks connector. More than likely it has fun size resistors taped into them. If the front shocks still have the harness connected to the top the past owner may have kept the z55 intact.

I just replaced the front and rear shocks on my 118,000-mile 2003 Suburban which had the costly ZW7 auto autoride shocks. I ordered the AC Delco rear shocks for about $41 each from Rock Auto. Shock extension and compression and the ride height is the same as the ZW7 shocks. Ride and handling are excellent. Saved a lot of money. Total cost was less than $150 which included shipping from two locations
The rears are difficult to remove the top mounting bolts and require removal of the inner fender lining to gain access to the top bolts. The liners were easy to remove and replace. Accessibility to the top bolts was still challenging. Spent 2 hours R&R the rear shocks and 1 hr 15 minutes to R&R the front shocks. You won't be disappointed.

Let me know if you need the part nos and exact prices for the front and rear shocks. The front shocks were for auto ride and cost was around $31 each.
