Matt's Denali Build

[05Single]

No idea on kits , especially for that year. But maybe have the surround vinyl wrapped to match the wood trim. That would look clean.

Finally got around to lowering it. Looks much better!

Thank you sir!

One more for good measure...

Nice!

Nice!

Thanks man.

Had to grab a shot with my buddy's GT-R last night, since the bar was closed when we pulled up.

That looks fantastic Matt! I'd love to see it in person some time. I'm up on Olympia if you're ever up this way. I'm hoping to get my Denali to around that level sometime this summer as well. How is the ride so far?

Thanks Joe! I don't head towards Seattle all that often, but I'll shoot you a message the next time I do.

The ride is okay. Time constraints had us rushing through it, so we didn't do Tony's "free travel mod" (cutting the factory bump stop bracket off the frame) and instead used the Belltech bump stops that came with the kit. I also forgot to shorten the front bump stops by an inch, so it's a little bit rough on big bumps.

I think once I do the free travel mod and shorten the front bump stops, it will ride almost like stock.

Right on, I'll keep that in mind for when I finally get around to getting mine lowered down.

So every time I walk out and look at the truck, my first thought is "wheels are way too small," which means it's time to upgrade.

I had originally planned to run a 24" so that it won't be too big and will still have some sidewall, but every time I see one dropped on 26's, I'm blown away by how aggressive it looks.

So I need your opinions on this matter. Aesthetically, which looks better in your opinion, 24" or 26"? Is there a thread with some side by side comparisons somewhere? Furthermore, is there anything required to run 26's that should dissuade me from doing so (major fender/suspension/whatever mods, terrible ride, etc.)?

Thanks guys!
