Leveling a Denali

[Yuk_Nali_6.0]

What's involved in making my Denali sit level? Of course I don't want to disable the autoride or self-leveling. Not really interested in lowering the front, just the rear. How much should I expect to pay to have this done?

If your AR compressor pumps up enough to give you some more height in the rear,
you could bend the autoride bars or have some different ones fabricated up.

Probably not much but maybe enough to make it look a little different

Other option is crank the t-bars to raise the front to level it with the rear, then it wil ride hard.

Get a 2" or 3" rear only drop kit. That should just about level it out, depends on whether you want alomst level (2") or a little less in the rear than front (3").
McGaughys, Eibach and Belltech have good rear only kits for you!

measure your fenders on a level surface to determine the difference in height from front to back. buy some 2" or 3" drop coils, extremely easy to install with simple hand tools. you'll need to shorten your factory autoride links or buy some from belltech, shock extensions aren't necessary but it will ride nicer with them. here is the difference in length for the rear autoride sensor links



I think I have some shock extensions and another set of sensor links laying around if you'd like some.

I also have Pedders Autoride sensor rods laying around that I dodn't use considering I don't have Autoride

Thanks for the info guys. I don't know if I will go through with this or not...but I REALLY want to. I guess if I have the parts I will eventually do it. How much do you want for the parts Max?

 

[blueflamed03]

how do you change out the links??

pliers. just twist the sensor rod with some needle nose or just about any pliers and they pop right off. new ones just thread down farther.

you want the shock extender's they limit the suspension travel in the rear to keep the coils from falling out it the turck was to become air born. on a 3 inch rear drop thats vary important. bell use to sell limiting straps for the rear but have since changed to a shock exteder like mcgaughys, and other companies use.

but those are for autoride only, correct?
