22” Wheels on stock Canyon Denali?
65Wetdog replied to TonyDenali's question in 2015-2022 Colorado & Canyon Mods
I'm considering the same. From my own studies I believe a 22 X 9.5 with 15mm offset and 275/45/22 tire should be ok. Maybe a little rubbing at full lock. But what the hell do I know.......... -
I just installed Borla S type today. Also did a K&N cold air. I like the exhaust note, no drone as mentioned but the K&N seems to be as loud as the exhaust as cotton rpm's.

I can snap a pic later today. Not much to see under there really. I believe the Belltech's are a better shock. The DJM's are ok and considering they cost what, $80 or something I'm not complaining or surprised.

It seems like manufacturers call it a 4" drop but in reality it's less. 2" shackles and 1.25" adds up to 3 1/4" in my world. Any thing more requires and flip kit which I am choosing to avoid and because I like the rake. If you absolutely have to have it level you won't be happy if you drop the front at all. After 5000 km's I'm happy with my choice of DJM 2" lower control and 3.25" rear kits. The DJM rear shocks are at best adequate. I definitely feel the rear is out of sorts compared to the factory bilsteins up front. I intend change them out and bolt on a Helliwig sway bar in the near future. My front spoiler has taken a bit of a beating.

Hellwig 7735 rear sway bar install
65Wetdog replied to mikepol2's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Thanks for the info on the Hellwig sway. At $225 I'll be shopping for one tonight. I did a 2/3 drop yesterday. A family drop. Couldn't be happier http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/155864-2014-lowering-drop-kits/page-42 -
A few more pics. Best thing about dropping it.......... my fat ass slides into the drivers seat easier.

No vibrations. I think most vibrations occur when the axle is flipped. Lowriders.ca owner Todd is pretty experienced and been doing this for years so I follow his lead. He lowered my brothers 4X4 Tundra with a 3/5 drop in 2011 and it's been perfect. Held wheel alignments producing extra long tire life.
-
Yeah, Speaking to my guy today he mentioned that Hellwig would be an option. I think it will to be cat's meow and settle the rear down. I understand it's the exhaust that impede's the install of the DJM swaybar. Some sorta exhaust resonator.

My truck is a 4WD. DJM front and rear kits installed. 2" drop Control arms, 2" drop shackles and 1.25" block removed. DJM shocks on the rear. Stock Rancho shock up front. DJM says nothing about cutting bump stop so it remains stock. I got a good deal on some OEM 22" takeoff's and mounted 285/45/22 Maxxis MAZ-4S all season performance tires. I'm very happy with the stance as I like to have some rake. The ride is firmer due to the 45 series tire and the rear seems to be a tad bouncy likely due to the $50 ea DJM shocks. I'll look into some better quality rear shocks. Apparently DJM is the only company to offer a rear sway bar but after my guys at www.lowriders.ca attempted install and call DJM's tech line it's clear the sway bar is not comparable with a 2015 as it hits the exhaust and hitch I'll be installing some air bags come spring when I throw my track bike in the back for track days.
