Yukon Denali sits real low.

Struts being good or bad will not change ride height, only ride quality (dampening ability). The only ones that come lower from the factory are 2x4 and police pursuit vehicles.

People often retain factory Autoride when doing a mild drop on these, so it is very possible that your truck was lowered on OEM shocks. The rear springs appear to be a lot newer/shinier than the parts around them, don't they? That would suggest it's been lowered.

If you can, take a picture of your rear autoride sensor links. We should be able to tell fairly easily if they've been shortened.

The front could be spindles, look for a brand stamp on there somewhere or take a few pictures of the hub with your wheel off from different angles.

Do this ^^^ and let us know. I'm pretty sure the rear has shock extension brackets on it? Hard to tell

^^^this....also if you notice that emergency brake line that is tight against that rear shock....that only happens when the vehicle is lowered and utilizing shock extension brackets. Overall, whoever you took your vehicle to doesn't seem to know what he's looking at. If you have the time and ability I'd suggest taking off one front wheel and taking a pic and posting it up. We should be able to tell pretty quick if you've got drop spindles up front or not.

Ok so I just took off front and rear wheel and snapped some pics.

Here is a picture of the hub brand.



Here is a picture of the front autoride sensor/linkage.


And here's a picture of the rear autoride sensor/linkage. I looked at pictures online and don't think it's supposed to be bent like this. Both rear linkages are bent in that angle.

#1. that's not the hub. That's the spindle
#2. that spindle is a McGuaghy's drop spindle. Most likely 2" drop

So what you're saying is that it has been lowered with lowering springs and a spindle?

What I'm saying is the front has been lowered with spindles and is most likely 2". Without a part number or something we won't know 100% for sure on the exact amount but most likely 2". The springs and shocks on the front look stock. The rear looks like it was most likely dropped with 2" drop springs (COULD be 4" drop in back but I would be surprised by that) with the shock relocator brackets so you can still run stock shocks.

 

[AC-Yukon-Denali]

Ok so if I were to install the original spindle on the front and original springs and shock re locator bracket in the rear, then I'd have factory ride height?

 

[07Burb]

yes, stock spindle in front is all you'd need there.

for back just need stock rear springs and remove shock relocator bracket

Then you'd be back at stock height. Not sure what you'd need to do with the autoride links (if anything).

 

[AC-Yukon-Denali]

Ok, one more question. Would this affect the ride quality of my car any? Cuz that would be my only reason to go back to factory height.

It looks great at the height it's at.... I would not change a thing,well maybe just level the front so it matches the back.. Looks like the back sits higher an inch or two
