Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

Nope. On page 113 I showed the new QA1 I bought and installed that bends around the diff so a girdle can be used. It looks like it will clear by 1/2". Others have removed material from the girdle to clear but I wasn't comfortable with that.

Since it's adjustable, would it work for lifted trucks, too?

Yes it would. And I still haven't heard back from the guy who wanted to buy it. I let him know I'll only hold it until high noon my time. These things never come up for sale used. I know, I waited months before deciding to buy a new one.
Edit: the funds came through.

I took it for a drive this morning (before I took any meds lol) and all seems fine. Nothing strange, no vibrations, shifted right. The only thing is the shifter is still a bit stiff between 1-2 because the mounting bracket got bent when the driveline came loose. A friend came over yesterday and straightened it as best as he could so I ordered a new bracket and will have it installed when it comes in. Next I need to get the TA girdle installed.

I've decided to name my truck "The Beast" because that's honestly what it's become. Every time I drive it now it feels like a real beast. So loud and so fast and fun.
