Thanks for the input.

Thank You Jon, Got the link! Awesome job & write up!! I can definitely see that it was well worth the work along with price. It's nice to know that having an unwanted snowplow package can be dealed with if needed. I may have to go this route as well if I don't order my truck. Glad it all worked out with your camper... Nothing worse than a harsh ride traveling cross country. This thread is a keeper!! Tganks again. Ray

Bummer... I clicked all over in your old post.... nothing. Still don't see the link. Sounds like you did the right thing doing the install yourself. Great to know that this is an option! Thanks again. Ray

Thanks... Don't see the link. Ray

Thank for the great info. Doesn't sound like a real bad of a job. $600.00 out the door at the dealer? Did that include the springs & labor? Thanks again. Ray

Thanks for the input... I hear ya! So true.... There’s a ying and yang with everything. Thanks again. Ray

Thanks for the input. That's too funny..... always good to have a little ammo....LOL. Since my wife and I only have one vehicle, ride is very important to us. After listening to everyone's experience, I'm going to stick without having any suspension changes since I don't need it. Now, just finding one without these changes without ordering is the kicker. I realize a truck is a truck but, these Denali's are the best of both worlds, comfort and hauling. Thanks again, appreciate it. Ray

Thanks for the great information. That sounds pretty rough.... After hearing the stories here, I'm going to stay away from any suspension changes other than stock. My heaviest load is my boat at approx. 7,500lb's in which my 2018 2500HD Denali handle's very easily. Also, it appears that these suspension packages may raise the truck one to two inches. My attached garage door is only two inches higher than the spec's of the Ultimate. I do have a pole barn which has a 10' overhead door but, I would rather use my attached garage. Biggest problem is, everything in transit has either the 3500 leaf spring or snow plow package on them. Closest one without, is 260 miles away with the color I want. Thanks again, appreciate it. Ray

First, Congrat's on your New Ultimate!! Thank You for sharing this great information! Your two cents is very much appreciated. Ray

Thanks.... That's great information. Maybe, just being a heavier torsion bar won't make a huge difference in ride. With that being said as you know, normally under load gives you a little smoother ride. tahnak again. Ray

Absolutely! Thanks for sharing. Ray

Thanks for sharing.... I would agree, yours in all likelihood would play a difference. Other than that, I would think between the years of yours and your sons there would be some balance due to the newer suspension's. Living here in Michigan, if I get a chance to ride one with and w/o this package, I'll be able to know pretty quick. Thanks again, appreciate it. Ray

Thanks....Well stated. I have also heard that there is a heavier duty torsion bar that's part of this package. For sure, todays trucks are pretty amazing in comparison to the older one's in every way. Thanks again. Ray

Thanks.... I hear ya! It doesn't make sense to me either. It's hard to believe that the majority of customers for these Ultimates would want this package. I.M.O., it's an awesome truck for both hauling and overall cross country comfort. Especially, if it's your only vehicle. On the other hand, I'm sure there are some that would like it for personal occasional use. Thanks again. Ray
