What you've bought is a GMC C³ and not a Sierra Denali, there is no such thing for 2001. Now you do have a Y91 equipped truck, which is what a Denali is, but they just didn't call the Sierra's that in '01, only the Yukon's. GMC changed the name for them in 2002.

And yes, go to DenaliTrucks dot com for more info on your truck.

I don't blame you, as very few know what a C³ is, while everyone knows the Denali name, and really there is no difference in content except through various year models. Like I said before, both are Y91's, which is GM lingo for Luxury Merchandizing Package.

If it has Denali emblems, someone added them.

I have mine lowered 3" in front 4" in rear and still running the AWD.
McGaughy Spindles and decrank in the front and belltech hangers and shackles in the rear.
I'm about to eliminate the blocks in the rear and raise the shackles back up 1 notch to give me another 1" in the rear.
