So now its a Mid Country. That'll look good with some nice wheels!

I heard the same thing a few weeks ago. I was going to use my Belltech 647SP kit I took off my 2013 crew cab. The front (adjustable struts and spindles) would work but said they haven't developed a flip kit for the 4X4 yet, even though I really don't see why the Belltech 647SP kit (flip kit) wouldn't work, it must have something to do with the trans spacer. I ended up changing my mind about dropping this truck 4/5 after my tires ate massive holes through my fender liners on my 13 truck with a 4/5 drop. It looked great and rode great, but this 14 is just too nice for me to do that to. Yet. I ended up using McGaughey's 2" drop shackles and removed the factory 1-1/4" block, cut the stock bump stops in half and it's perfect. No where near touching the bump stops even with my boat hooked to it and even used my factory rear shocks that have not limited out on travel as of yet. I'll hook the enclosed car trailer to it one day soon. I lowered the front using Rough Country's lower strut mount for a 2" drop. It works just as described and rides just as it did stock. I lowered the whole truck for $88 + alignment and took me by myself 3 hours laying on the garage floor to do it all. My word of insight after doing it, the Rough Country lower strut mount works great and for the money it's hard to pass up if you only want 2" of drop, but I am at the camber limit with the stock bushings and stock cam plates. It aligned within spec, it just doesn't have any more to go. So if I was going to do it again, I'd consider using a 2" drop spindle instead of the Rough Country lower strut mount. I'm actually going to lift the truck once my daughter gets more mobile...

Dude that Denali looks great! I almost got those wheels in 22" but decided I wanted the CK157's. I'm having a hard time getting the damn wheels though!



Twindenalis, LOL Man it's funny you mention that because I told my wife when I lowered it that I was going to cut the "mountain peaks" in half on the high country emblems

High country looks absolutely perfect!! As stated above you'll never see driveline problems at that height

Thanks. I was looking at the 22s in the same design, but they were asking too much. The ride is really good, so I think I may leave it at this height.

I drove mine from Huntsville, AL to Gatlinburg, TN for the weekend last night and it rode and drove absolutely great! First actual highway miles I've put on it. The 6.2 is easily getting 20-21+ MPG! I am extremely pleased so far.

Took the step bars off and looks a TON better. Had some big holes in the fenders where the splash guards were so I put them back on... Maybe with some chrome trucker girls on them I might like em better.
