Looks great man. How do you like those Nitto TGs? I'm planning on getting some for my Yuke soon. Any road noise?

Nice truck! I got the idea for leveling my Yukon after seeing your Tahoe in another thread. What do you think?

man that looks awesome!!!

i want to do the same thing but im new and have a few questions.

Does anyone know if leveling your hoe like this will void any warranties?

Also, where to buy and about how much for the leveling kits?

InTruck Design: My Yukon has Bushwacker OEM Style flares. Got them on line and had the local dealer paint them for me.

I do plan on smoking the tails and 3rd brake light. The rear spacer goes on the bottom between the spring perch and the spring.

Both look fantastic!

Same parts will work on your denali, just can't run longer shocks out back so I'd go with a 1" spacer or weld up some new shock mounts if you want to go higher.

The nitto TGs are nice tires. i had them before I got new wheels. They are kinda soft as far as wear goes... I think I got about 40K onto them before I gave them to Jiminey.

Thanks Boostaholic!

I dont really want to lift it much, i just want a more rugged, off road look. Im done lowering vehicles and throwing big rims on them.

I may even consider keeping it stock height, and throw some new 20's with some all terrain tires.

HMMMMMN :inc:

The pro comp 275/60/20s will fit just fine with a leveling kit and they're buy 3 get 1 free right now. I'm running the 275/55/20s on my nbs with a drop and they're some of the best tires I've ever owned.

For those with leveling kit spacers, have you tried them off-road? Also, are the CV joint angles ok and do the shocks top out?

I installed "quick lift" springs on my last truck (~2-inch lift) and the CV boots wore out quickly. Also, on drop offs the shocks topped out pretty easily.

I want to install these, but would like to get your input first.

Thanks!

if you stay within 2-2.5" of lift in the front you should keep a safe cv angle and still have enough down travel that your not sitting on your bump stops. once you get to 3" you need to look at aftermarket upper control arms which total chaos sells and usually are run with replacement front coilovers.

Thanks Z71. I think I will buy the Truxx kit and install hopefully next month.
