Need your help deciding

[Jonah52]

So I've come to a middle ground. I know that lowering it really isn't "for me" and with the snow and hauling it probably wouldn't be beneficial. At the same time I have the 6.2 which sucks gas mileage wise, which I'm ok with but don't really wanna make it worse.

The nose down look bothers me, but after reading about messing with the rear autoride links, I'd rather just not mess with it. I'm looking at doing the front level kit for ready lift. They have one listed for an escalade so I know it will function without messing with the AWD and what not. It looks like its adjustable from 1"-1.5" but not sure on the increments in can change.

As for tires mine are getting crappy so I have some pirellis laying in the garage that will hold me over. From there I think I'd like to go with the 305/50/20 on my stock wheels, until I grab some summer wheels next season.

It seems like a fair compromise in my book, a level truck that will look better, a little taller tire and a lot meatier tire, but not "lifted" and not "stock". I'm trying to retain the class of the denali with my own spin.

So does everyone agree that this is a good middle ground? I know it's mine and I should do what I eant, but just interested in some opinions too!

I like the middle ground, although I think leveling the car to fit 33"s would be
smart to keep from any tire rub and the aesthetics of a level truck. Also, If you do the hunting and trailering and such, I wouldn't go with wheels larger than 20". You'll want all the sidewall you can get when you're not on the pavement.
