New member with unknown drop on 05 Denali

[spooledup91DSM]

Couple of things. No way they took stock keys that far, there isn't enough adjusting room and even if there was you'd have more tire lean. Second, it seems as if they have the keys done and THEN they still went to far (going for level height no doubt). But, to me the negative camber looks like complete poo. So they took a 1 1/2"-2" key drop and turned it into a 3+ by going too far with it. Should be a simple fix by cranking them back up and getting a fresh alignment (or go equal turns on both sides to get you by). The problem then will be the front may look a little too high for the rear. If that was the case I would try to bring the rear up some to the desired look.

Alright! I know everything I need to know, guys. Not just with the replies here but researching the various threads.
Knowing what I do now, I know what my course of action will be. I do still have some questions regarding various parts and/or the combination of parts. I will start another thread on that after researching the various vendors. Thank you, TYF.

with as much camber as it has in front on that pic its keys decranked

if ride is bad just crank up front keys as a start.
in rear blue springs were the djm older ones.


What do you want to do with the truck just bring it up??? or keep it at same level and ride better? Tell me what you want as end goal and I can help you dial it in.

Yes, my wife wants it raised up a lil bit from its current stance, so we're looking for the end result to be a 2/3-4 drop while retaining the ELC system.
What shocks would you recommend for the front end to give me the best balance of comfort and handling? Same with the rear. What shocks would you recommend to best match the front shocks? Sway bars will be upgraded as well to help control body roll.
I have another question about a setup like this. If we're fooling the autoride system into thinking it's still controlling the dampening of the shocks, will the stability system still function properly?

I hope you get it straightened out it looks like a nice rig. The stance looks nice but that front angle looks bad.

if your using keys in front no matter what you do more then 1 inch drop wont ride well. this is why i do the djm a arms and belltech sp shocks. Adjustable 2-3 inches and a much better ride plus new bushings and balljoints.


does your autoride work and do you want to keep it or dont mind bypassing it?

I hav ea custom 3/5-6 kit that rides excellent since i speced the rear springs heres something to read

No matter, fellas. It's well under control! Just ordered a 2/4 kit with spindles, and extenders, and on top of that, I also ordered Arnotts re-man OEM rear shocks, new Arnott air compressor (we'll see how it lasts) and Eibach swaybars. Oh, as for the torsion bar keys, it doesn't matter what kinda shit they threw on it, brand new GM keys are waiting for it. Now, as for the front shocks, we're gonna see how they do; same for tierods, etc.
Now for the rest of the shit we need...we're hemorrhaging $100's but we knew the night we got it home what we were in store for. I mentioned how we were burned on this purchase. Not only was the suspension gimped, after running the vin, we discovered the reason for the reconstructed title; it's a flood vehicle. New York, 2012. But like I said, after having the Tech II hooked up, electrically, it's not that bad. So, we're just going through the entire thing and fixing/replacing anything that's wrong until every single thing operates as it did when it left the dealer, if not better. Thank you everyone for your time.

which 2/4 kit did you get?

did you get the djm endlinks and new bumpstops needed when going with 4 inch drop in rear to fix swaybar angle? also the bumpstops your cutting off for free travel mod so need new bumpstops
