Best Leveling Kit for AWD Denali?
 
Ive have done a lot of research on different forums, but can only find threads dated back from 2011 and 2010. Ive read about vibration issues at higher speeds and RPM due to the CV angles and AWD. I was curious is anyone has came out with a kit yet that can raise the front end, without effecting the CV axles, such a differential drop?? I'm only looking for 1.5-2" of lift in the front. Thanks!

Just change the shock on the front end I put bilstiens 5150 shock front and back it gives you the option to to adjust the front up like 2.5 inche rides the same as stock no change to complain about

This, i run the bilstien 5100 adjustable shocks in front, standard bilstien 5100 shocks in the rear on my 2011 AWD denali. They ride great! Originally when i put them on i had the front shocks on the top setting and the truck was sitting perfectly level to the stock height rear. Since then, i decided to put the front to stock height and do 2" drop shackles in the rear. They are a great product for sure.
