“Budget LT ‘16 Denali build” sounds contradictory lol

'17 and yeah... I'm building all the suspension so the big dollar shit is just in the shocks. Fiberglass is relatively cheap and the motor will be pretty cheap since I'm doing the turbo setup too. I'll have less than $40k total in it.

Would like info on this as well lol. You need to start some build threads

02 Camaro SS 6-spd. I've had the car for over 10 years and it has been a street/strip car for most of that time. Nothing major, I kept the stock motor in it (100% stock internal) just trying to see what I could get out of it. At one point it was the 2nd quickest stock-internal 6-speed in the nation (11.48@120) but it has been in pieces for close to 5 years now... Will likely end up selling it to fund the Denali project.

Thinking about tossing the steps back on for the kiddo and wife, might save my doors some too. Did a quick shop just to see how they'd look.

Thought about steps myself. Talked with my wife about replacing my struts and rear shocks. Gonna go with the 3.5" lift.

Don't do it, go with a level/bl combo. Cheaper and keeps better angles imo

My angles aren't bad with 3" level. My struts are shot is the main reason to do this. Don't want to body lift because the hybrid cables run under the cab onto the frame. No slack

I'd do a zone 4" before I went back to the 3.5" stretched level.

It won't be a level kit. It's the 3.5" lifted struts. Eliminates the spacers all together

Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk
It's still 3.5" of lift with no crossmember. Trust me on this, mines been stretched like that and now I'm paying the price of needing to rebuild my front end again. It'll wear through ball joints, even with the RC arms.

Did you drop your diff down?

I did not. I didn't notice any issues with the cv's but they were also fine with a 4" drop. Your biggest weak points are the ball joints and tie rods, I had heims when I was lifted that much.
