I put a 8" superlift on my awd denali, all you have to do is change front drive shaft.

 

 

First, the truck looks good!

 

Second, I started this thread back in 08 when I first lifted my Denali, I can't believe it is still active!

 

Everyone: You can easily lift a Denali with AWD. All you need to do (which none of the suspension companies) (I think) is to take your stock front driveshaft down to your friendly drive shaft shop (Local) Tell them to put a double cardan joint on the transfer case side and reinstall. Voila! You're done, drive forth and do good things.

 

Oh, and if you trim up that spoiler thing and black out at least the lower grill it will get that smiley face thing off the front!

i cant tell but are those camoflauge rims on a denali?

Yep, those are camo, they're so easy to do. The place you send them to just dips them in this big vat and takes them out and clear cotes them. Couldn't be easier, just you don't see too many of them.

I put a 2.5 leveling kit on my 2009 Sierra Denali and it vibrated so I dropped down to a 2" it still vibrates. My next step is dropping to transfer case down a little to try and get rid of the problem. I don't know how people are lifting there Denali without vibration because my driveshaft angle hasn't changed.

Dropping your tcase down won't help.... did you mean you're going to try dropping the diff?

Yes, My bad. If this doesn't work I'll have to pull out the leveling kit and just stick with my body kit.

    • How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit. 
    • Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that? 
    • What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way to big should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crosing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...

    • And overpriced. I was in the Oshawa Truck Plant when they were being built. Very few. I could count on one hand how many I've seen since
