You can take a grinder to couple little welds that limit the turning radius. I did it and am happy with the results.

Really want some more companies to come out with a slight drop for the Denali with Mag ride/ no air ride, i think only one company (Maxtrac) does so far but not enough hard data behind the driving characteristics after the drop. Looks like only one guy here on this thread has the kit.

Been waiting patiently for them to arrive but finally got the bell tech coilovers installed last weekend

Looks great, how's the ride quality with the drop? You did the full 2" drop front and rear with the edgymods links? I was thinking of doing a 3/4 - 1" up front and 1.5 - 2" out back.

here's my wife's 2023 RST, 4wd, 5.3L lowered 2/3 using the Belltech Sport Performance adjustable strut kit. the ride is slightly rougher, but not anything worth writing home about.

I peep that M5. Good taste

Pictures of BellTech coilovers installed. Lowered approx 3 inches up front and 4.0 inches in the rear. Rides firm, but handles like it’s on rails. Part #15009 front and part #15013 for the rear. Super easy install overall, and nice to not have to mess with OEM strut/springs. Just rip and replace with the coilovers. View attachment 382006

Are you still able to mount curbs at this height? I often do some...urban offroading.
