Welcome and great ride I love the NNBS Denali's I've got those rims in gloss black on my Escalade, Tony is the guy to go to for suspension work he set up my OBS wouldn't deal with anyone else, if you want a nice cat-back and have the cash get a Corsa

Can I see a pic of the black wheels? I was considering coating mine...

I am hesitant to buy another $1,100 Corsa system as I had one on my 2013 Taurus SHO PP (500hp/600tq) and one on my 2015 Explorer Sport (420hp/465tq). Both vehicles were totaled recently :-( SHO ran 12.1qtr on Meth and 12.6 without...

November 18th 2016 I was sitting stopped at a light when a teenager texting rear ended me in the SHO. Totaled, all rear frame damage, purchased for $3,500 as future project car. Sold for $5k due to PTSD, couldn't look at it any more :-(

Bought a used 2015 X Sport, New Corsa exhaust, Custom Dyno Tune, Transferred Intake, New Meth System. Feb 17th 2017 was cruising down the street @ 45mph when another distracted driver pulled out not seeing me and hit my front passenger fender and door. Crushed the whole front passenger fender/frames into the motor. Cracked one of the turbos and got into the motor/block. Frame was not repairable...

Bottom line. I'm done buying new cars for a while and I'm done buying $1,200 exhaust systems LOL... I can get the MBRP for $550 or a muffler from Tony for $100 +/-. Corsa just not worth it in my opinion. Michigan wouldn't let me insure an armored tank or a military Humvee so I figured a Yukon is the next best thing!

Thats my story and here I am lol!

Go with Tony. Here is my 07 Denali with a 2/3 drop and 22" wheels. I'm old so 2/3 does the job for me but I also used that because I use wider tires 305/45/22 with no rubbing.

Didn't see a pic attached... Would love to see. Need to make my decision asap. Tony is back from vacation tomorrow.

I know it would look better dropped a bit more... My concern is wheel/tire size. I don't plan on going 24" or 26" like most of you. Whats the height difference between my 275/55/20 and the tires on the 24"/26" stuff???

Just got an email back from Tony. I think we are doing the Bell Tech 2" drop spindle in front with adjustable drop spindles and his 4" kit in back with links and helper bags. DJM sway bars of course... He mentions possibly going with a spindle with more than 2" drop. Didn't know these were around, who makes them?

The truck is SUPER clean for 150k miles. It's a one owner car, 65yr old guy, always garage kept. The 2nd row has been used maybe 3 or 4 times and the 3rd for was only installed in the truck once. I swear no one takes care of cars/trucks these days. It disgusts me when I go to look at "new" 2014/2015 used cars with 20k miles on them and they are in worse shape than this baby thats 10 years old with 150k on the odometer. Makes me wanna slap a few people lol... I don't wanna start posting pictures of the interior on the suspension thread, but heres an underbody shot I took yesterday to show how clean it really is. This guy never used car washes, always hand washed (no under body washing) which I find amazing... Motor and transmission coming out this week to get a rebuild just for the hell of it and upgrade to some LS3 parts in preparation for a ProCharger or Turbo setup.

i.php

(Just noticed while uploading this picture I might have a small hole in the muffler. It sounds fine but I might have to order one from Tony. I don't think I wanna do a whole system although that MBRP S5032304 T304 Stainless Steel Single Side Cat Back Exhaust System is on sale on Amazon (5% back) for $550... Inlet is only 3" though. Anyone tried one?)

I'm running a 4/6 drop (Tony's kit) with 295/30/26's. The height difference between your 275/55/20's isn't all that much. Diameter of mine is about an inch larger than yours.

Great looking ride Cory. I'm not sure why my pic didn't show up. Search for "Big Mama" and you'll see it. I'm not too good at adding photo attachments on the forum. If you still don't see it PM me and I'll send it to you directly.

This looks ******* fantastic lol! I can't wait for my drop parts to get here and I am definitely going with the 22" CK156 wheel. Can't decide between black like yours or the black with machined face. I liked yours, looks sick...

That picture is from when i had the side molding off.
Did you put the molding back on? I was deciding if I wanted to remove mine. I can't decide... It actually looks good on with my color. Blue/Green Crystal...

I ended up putting it back on for a couple of reasons. First was that the empty space was too big. It looked **** it was missing something. The strip has a bit of chrome, which matches my door handles, luggage rack, and wheels. It wasn't hard to remove but I took some measurements before taking it off. I agree with your color too. I'm not a big fan of black wheels so leaving the chrome made sense.
