18 Sierra Denali 4WD lowering kit
Hello,
Does anyone have any recommendation on a complete kit to lower my 18 Denali? Do I need to piece something together from multiple sources? Any real world experience would be helpful. I don't know much about this truck other than the autoride probably limits whats available out there. Looking for maybe a 2/5 or 2/6 since the rear sits so high. Thanks in advance.

The autoride limits some of the parts you can use because it will cause issue with that system.
You can replace the front spring with a 2in lowering spring or you could do 2in drop spindles so you are not dealing with the struts at all.
For the rear, the fastest way to drop it without doing a flip kit is to remove the 1.25in lift block and add 2in drop shackles.
I am going this route on my truck come spring time, though my front end will be using new drop shocks because I do not have the autoride system.
McGaughy makes a great kit with the springs/shackles. You could do the other way and find drop spindles and shackles separate as well.

Yeah my preference would be not to do springs. This kit includes new rods for the autoride whereas another makes you cut the rods to length.
