Level My Denali Xl

[MichaelSE]

I have a 2012 Yukon xl Denali w z55 auto ride...

I added CCM 2.5" front and 1" rear to level... (Original shocks front and rear)

The back sagged so I added another 1" to the rear (2" total)

Post some pics!

The 1" leveling in the rear sagged, looked Ike there was something wrong.. I can't find any pictures of it...

^same experience i had. 2.5 front and 1.5 rear, never loved right and drove me crazy went to a 2 and she was good to go

Your Denali looks great, def one of the best offroad-focused Yukons I've seen. Who makes that roof rack?

I'm having the same issue with the rear on my LTZ, I put in a 2/1 level and the rear is still lower. I'm going to extend the air ride rods to see if the compressor can bring it back up, but will probably also end up going with a 1.5 or 2" spacer. Did you notice any ride quality difference between the 1" and the 2" spacer?

Thanks, No ride quality difference, it is just another 1" spacer added, so nothing changes except it doesn't look sad anymore... Ha

I also added timbren progressive bump stops..front and rear. I was overloaded fully packed by about 10% gvwr (700- 800lbs) and the timbrens really tightened things up...

I also added Wagner ceramic hybrid brake pads, and that helped a lot with stopping power loaded down..

The roof rack is a rhino rack pioneer 107x58

On the driver side I have 200w of solar and an awning, on the passenger I have a Yakima box and in the rear across the back I have 4 max trax for getting unstuck...

The solar powers a second battery under the hood (both batteries are odyssey AGM) In the back I have a full cargo slide and an ARB 84qt refrigerator.

If anyone is interested in more details of the build, I'd be happy to explain in detail, I made my share of mistakes on the learning curve, so I'd be happy to save you the trouble...

Can someone post the part # for the 5100 Bilsteins. I just want to make sure and get the right set. Everything says it wont fit because of autoride, but they just bolt right on correct? These are the part #'s I found, Bilstein # 24-186940 Front Shocks, 46mm | 2 - Bilstein # 24-187237 Rear Shocks, 46mm.

And then I was going to get the moog #81069 for the rear springs.
