Well going by what the mechanic was saying the type of rear suspention in it not sure if the Denali is different. I know the drivers side has a frame bracket that looks difficult to get around. Will have a look at it again.

Can you post some pics too if it is easy enough? Just wondering if you have the same setup as mine or not.

It's just the rear shackle. Raising the bed would make it easier. But I had mounted a hidden 5 th wheel hitch so that made it a lot more work. The top bolt of the shackle slides out between the bed and frame. I am sure I could do the next one in under 2 hrs. Mine came with very good instructions that I actually read. Worked just like they said.

Never knew about these shackles. What happens when the rubber wears out in the shackle? You get a bagged out rear suspension?
Has a 5 year warranty. So I guess we will see.

Yeah that's my only concern. The rubble getting tired and then your suspension has a lot more movement and increased body roll. It is a nice idea and has me interested. But the price for such a wearable part I don't know if it's worth it.
