I just ordered the Belltech kit that includes rear coils, shock extenders, front torsion keys. The tech said that i could adjust the front drop the get the rake i want. Hope this is the route i'm looking for?

Just installed some belltech 3" drop springs but didn't install the shock extenders cause my buddy busted his head open. Anyhow before turning the denali on the drop was about 5"s and after turning the key forward the air shocks air up and it goes back to factory height. I found the leveling sensors but need to know if I cut them down or slide the bracket further back so that it turns the pump off when the truck is level.

It should have come with directions on how to bend or modify the sensors to account for the drop. Mine did, it also came with a guide on exactly how much to bend it

I have a 3/5 DJM drop and I hate it. What shocks are you using?

I cut out the frame as the recommended and everything. It is on its 3rd set of rear shock from DJM because they can't seem to tell me what shocks fit it. The truck will jar you to death from the rear. The front is pretty smooth.

Cheap and easy is go get lowering key's or gm keys that are marked "purple". Then a set of rear lowering coils and Shock extentions djm work really nice. If you have air ride, pop off the level sensor links and put a easy 90 degree bend in them. 2" Frt and 3" Rr drop and no problems. Done lots, look and ride great.

From the ground to the top of the wheel well, my Yukon Denali is 36", and in the back it's 37". If I were to put the 2/3 kit on it it would make it level.
