I have a 2008 Yukon Denali. I Just ordered the 2/3 McGuaphy drop kit. i was told you can get one more inch out of the rear just by bending the air sensor rod a bit more. If anyone knows how to make it happen, please let me know. I've seen this kit on a Denali and it looks clean but it's just a slight bit higher in the back. Gotta have it sitting level! Thanks for the help.

Yeah thats not true, bending sensor rods has to do ONLY with the shocks, and the shocks may hold the rear up a bit higher than normal, but at a 3" drop like you have, that means it is how it should be. Now you could try a 4" drop coil, then bend the sensor rods more to maske sure it does not screw with the Autoride.

You could possibly install the rear springs without using the rubber isolator things that go on the top and bottom of the spring. I have heard of people installing this way to get a little more out of the drop.

Yeah he could Turboeclips but that only made a .3" difference on both my 3" drop springs, and my newer 5" drop springs.
Also his Autoride would kick in unless he very minimally bent the rods when he removes the isolators.

pm me get the belltech 3-4 inch adjustable rear springs they sit much lower. a 4 inch djm rear spring will sit about 1.5 lower than the spring your using now being a 3 inch drop spring.
