Panhard ?
Well... your Denali is AWD. It would take alot of fabrication to be able to take out the front torsion bars, relocate the shocks and mount air bags to the arms.... Now since you have a drive axle going through your upper and lower control arms, you won't be able to get an airbag in that spot.
I have seen it done before, but lots of cutting and fabbing was involved, and the bags were mounted on top of the upper control arms, sorta like a shock hoop on a lifted 4x4 setup.
The rear is alot easier, but you wouldn't be able to come close to laying out, and then you need to fab a bar or bracket to re-center the axle after you drop it at ride height, since the axle will shift with a panhard bar style setup
as far as cost, look to spend at least 1200 in just air management and probably tripple that in labor on a 4x4
