Depends on what kind of a ride you want? Since it's for your wife, I would imagine she wants to comfy ride? If so, I think some guy with a denali on FSC lowered his 3/5 with DJM. That will give you a stock ride.
I don't know if Hotchkis makes anything, probably just swaybars and not a drop, but that will help the handling alot.

*Edit* Hotchkis makes rear leveling coils for your denali...and sway bars

Here are a few pics of my aftermarket hood after swapping over to the Denali front end. http://james.jaguar.net/00z71sierra/GMC

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but did your truck already come with the fog light option? If not, how bad was the wire harness hookup?
I like the way that hood looks on the denali front end...very nice...
btw, your truck was the inspiration for my denali swap

Thanks I guess. Glad I helped you make the decision. Mine had the fog lights from the factory but I hear you can order the whole harness and lights as a kit.

On a side note though; why would you want to spend money to get the factory ones when you could get a nice set of PIAA's to fit in there and they would be a lot brighter too.

I got it all from the dealership...insurance paid for it and I have a buddy there so I get parts at cost So I had some $$$ left over. I guess I could still get those PIAAs and sell the stockers.
So are those fog lights on your truck PIAAs? Which lamp and bulb did you go with?
Thanks.

On a side note, are you from pacific-audio.com? Your name looks familiar.

Nope, no PIAA's. I got the bumper complete used with the factory Denali lights. They plugged right into the Sierra harness so I left them in. If I didn't have the factory option I would have gone the aftermarket route. The fog lights don't do much. That's why I had mentioned that to you so you don't waste your money on them.

Yep, from the PA forum. Good eye! Your truck came out nice.

It's a Mr. Good Hood hood; all steel not fiberglass. I'm very happy with it other than the metal appears to be slightly thinner gauge than the stock one. Noticed that the last time my mechanic closed the hood he pushed on the front right below the scoop because he didn't want to slam it and later I see very minor wave (dent)in it. Had dent wizard remove it but keep that in mind when you buy one. Also, I got it on ebay from a dealer; not sure if he is still on there. I'll take a look. I had it on the stock Sierra with no problems either. Only the front end changed to Denali. Fenders stayed the same.
