i went belltech 3/5 front has spindles and adjustable belltech struts. and rear has 2" leafsprings, shackles and remove factory 1 " block for a total of 5" in rear with air shocks to raise when i tow. here 2 pic's of it just 3/5.. the third pic, i took out another ring on the adjustable front strut for 3.5" drop in the front. (pic was from my phone so not the best but gives u an i dea.) oh yea mine is a 2wd but the spindles from belltech will fit awd.

thanks. no, no real major tire clearance isues it does have a slight rub when i turn all the way,(and when i mean slight i mean hardly nothing) but nothing major. over all not to bad. only real rub is when on the freeway going bout 70 mph+ and i hit a dip. it does rub up at the top. but it just hit the plastic around the wheels well.. but doesnt hurt the tire. it just moves the plastic up when that does happen. but its not bad enough for me to say i want to lift it back up..lol.. it rides sooper smooth.

Well my deal fell through on the sierra denali that I was going to get. I drove 2 hours, pulling my trailer, to pick up the truck but it was not as described. And this was at a new car dealership. Truck looked clean from the pictures and the salesman pretty much lied as to the condition of the interior. I'll keep looking.

I love my Bedrug! this is the 3rd truck I've owned and the 3rd Truck that has had it! As for the Vinyl cover, it does come in handy, but love the look of the fiberglass Tonneau covers. Gives the truck a clean finish.
