FREEZE451's 2015 Denali Build

FREEZE451 · June 15, 2018

Purchased the Denali early June:

Then shortly after added a level kit:

Then of course had it tinted, %20 on the front doors to match the rear, %20 over the factory rear cabin glass, and %50 on the front windshield:

Some other quick mods I've done in the last 2 weeks:

1.) Took the center console tray out and added the wireless add-on from best buy. After a gift card it was $5, so can't beat that. Didn't feel like spending $200 for a wireless charging.

2.) Added the poplock kit so the tailgate locks automatically.

I'm sure they will be more to come!

Put a 3/4" spacer in front to raise it a little. I'm not sure what amount that in turn raises the front. Tires are Nitto Radial Grappler 33x1250x22

To correct the madneride I had the shop 'relearn' the sensors to the calibration was correct, but I think I might add a washer to each sensor for some extra cushion.

The measurements currently from ground to start of fender:

Front = 38"

Rear = 40"

They do rub a hair on full lock, but is kind of expected.

Well, took it a step further this morning.

I made some brackets for the rear magneride sensors, as well as put some washers up front.

Will drive it and report back.

And yes, I used and old license plate:)

Well the brackets held up, the ride was a hair better surprisingly.

I will add that I plan to get some actual sheet metal to make brackets, but wanted to test it out.

Took 20 minutes to modify, and even doing this after the 'relearn' I think it helped.

Going to test spacing out next and get some measurements as well.

Edit:

Took them off

Think it was a mental hope that it indeed did ride well. So.

Going to ride without the brackets for a while and see if I'm just being too paranoid.

Installed Morimoto Elite 5500k HID's and they make a world of difference from the stock halogens.

I understand the need for halogens, but love the visibility of the HID.

just installed morimoto 6500k hids on my boyfriends duramax and have a set on the way for my own truck, great hid setup!

Yup!

The stocks just don't cut it, and tinting the windshield doesn't help, so along with the bad bulbs I did do it to myself a little bit.

I have no idea what people see because the lights on my 16 silverado are awesome. I actually think theyre to bright.

Any chance those are a different output than the 14-15 sierra?

I've had 2 sierras - 14 and 15, and both times I struggled in the county - both times prior to tinting the windshield.

Once I did the windshield tint I knew I was updating the bulbs regardless, but prior to that they always seemed like a dull yellow.

Decided to black out the taillights and have some new shoes

Also, have the Putco 60" blade which I'll get some pictures of soon.

I'll be honest I was a little concerned with the taillights but it looks so clean I wanted to keep that look - so that LED blade helps a ton.

The blade really lights up and even provides a nice reverse light up.

Got a photo of the Putco 60" LED Blade, as well as some pods I put in the steps -> linked to running lights, so they are on when my other lights are on. Looks pretty sweet at night.
