Default Lifting a 2004 Yukon denali

Doesnt seem to be a very popular Suv to lift BUT I figured what the hell maybe try something a little different, now Im just trying to get some inside information on lifts and maybe a couple pics of what the finished product would look like, any help would be apperciated if anyone knows a little on the subject.

Dont plan on going very high. You can use a kit from a standard yukon, but youll have to pull the RDS fuse to keep the autoride from going nuts. ( need to disconnect the battery and pull the fuse, then reconnect battery).

Youll also need a new front driveshaft with a cv to keep vibrations down. Or, you can convert it to a standard 4wd case and front axle (the denali has no disconnect) and be able to run 2hi on the hiway.

Thats the major issues. Ive seen a few lifted ones, but always 6" or less.

thats all I want is 6" or less... Converting it would be awesome BUT how would I engage the 4x4 with no electronics or a place for a stick.... also I already disabled my autoride do I just need to add a coil spring spacer for the rear?
