I'm still scratching my head on the differences in height??? I love it!!! But it should have 2-3 in the front with 3-4 in the rear??? I guess it was lowered???

Here's the part numbers and prices for rockauto and the current discount code good until 3-30-14. These sway links I put on the front. They're stock replacement but mine were shot so changed them out they were bout 3/4" longer then stock. I recommend changing the spring isolators out mine where worn threw.

Rear sway links I used TJ 3" rear lifted sway links are supposed to be the same as we need for the 2" spacers. You will also need 4 1/2" bolts washers and nuts I forget the length but I'll post Monday if I remember
My choice in Rear shocks Bilstein 5100's 3"lift!!!! They have more reach and only bottom out about half an inch less than the 1" lift shocks.. Oh and btw I'll never put another shock on other than these!!!! Before I cranked my keys all the way my ride was better than my factory Denali air ride!!! Only dif now is pot holes or bumps are a bit stiff cause of the UCA STOPS but other than that my wife says it's better and loves the lift minus not have step yet lol
My choice in Front shocks Bilstein 5100's DUHHHH
Keys and Spacers
My posted eBay ads shipped same day!!! My Rockauto order did as well best freaking auto parts distributor ever!!!

Dude your ride looks great!! Perfect lift and thanks for doing research on the sway bar end links! I have the TJ rears but will order some fronts. Just for the record if you have a Denali then you already had Z71 springs (Heavy Duty). There is a picture of the difference in this thread. Denalis, Z71 Hoes, and Escalades all had the heavy duty springs. Anyhow your fender #s are correct and pretty good gain! Mine measures between 39.5-40" on the front and 40.5-41" rear with same tire, so I would say yours is within the norm or better.

Hey everybody, From what I read the z71 springs only add like .5" to height. If thats the case when why swap springs?

I'm a little confused I guess. How did you get a 5 inch lift out of 2" spacers and Z71 springs and 5 inches in the front with just using 3" keys? I put 3" spindles in the front, 2.5" spacers in the back with 5100's all around and I'm sitting at 39.5ish at all four corners. So I wonder if I could change out the springs and add keys to get another 1"-1.5"?

Also, I started at 35.5" front and 37"LR 37 1/4"RR.

I'm guessing I pulled out a lowering kit???
