hey bud , i was wondering what truck do you have that it broke on? im wondering if they did any changes to the driveshaft on the 2017 1500 models. i have my limiter removed, and went over a 100 a couple times to test it and have not experienced any problems or vibrations yet. i hit 120 once and then 130 the second time with 35 inch tires. i will have quite a bit more power over stock, so im wondering if i need to change mine out before it breaks.

ah lol same here. just really dont like how it drives compared to being used to driving icon aftermarket suspensions on my last few trucks. was hoping to find someone that went a different suspension route to see if it will work .

are you on stock magnaride system?

lol i cant post about here, the m5 just has a tune and exhaust 700hp, the gtr has full bolt ons on e85 and tuned, around 800 crank hp . both fun cars for sure.

not yet, the tune is still not 100 percent, with a couple small bugs their trying to work out so the power is not where it should be yet, want to have everything running and shifting right before releasing full power to it.

lol, thank bud, it looks great in pics but in person its a bit taller than im used to, i had a 4inch cst lift with icon coil overs and shocks on my 13 denali and loved it, but because this truck had magna ride i was limited to options that work with the magnaride components, i ended up getting the BDS 6 Iinch lift that they have that has extra hardware to relocate all the magnaride stuff. still hoping to swap out the spacers with icon coil overs in the near future and upper control arms once someone is able to disable the magna ride system for me. so it current has 6' bds lift on toyo mt 35s which are heavy AF, along with bds traction bars. looks great but is pretty high in person, just didnt get used to it yet i guess.

here are a few from mine.

im guessing these are different than denali headrests, i beleive mine say denali on them. i did want a factory dvd system but didnt want to wait for them plus aftermarket was cheaper route.

ok smartass this is not my first truck, ive owned a previous denali for 4 years, and i obviously checked the new one out numerous times , but i dont pay attention to what shocks it has as i always throw them out with icons as soon as i buy the lift kit anyways.

yea wasnt a fan of fabtek stuff , love the build quality of bds. its surprising that its been 3 years or so since its been out and the top shock brands dont offer a direct replacement to swap out the magna ride system. i know im not the only one that wants to do this. i might have to just ride with spacers until they come out with a solution.

i was hoping to get some replies i can benefit from, and i did not even know the denalis came with magna ride until i bought it.

hey guys i been searching and calling people and have had no real luck yet, i want to lift my 17 gmc denali 1500 , and i wanted to do a 4 inch lift but BDS only offers a 6 inch for the magnaride trucks that have the relocation brackets for the sensors and what not, but i HATE spacers/extenders i want to buy longer shocks and coilovers to replace the factory magna ride option. does anyone know if this can be done, or what axxactly will happen if i install aftermarket coilvoers on my truck, if it will just be a light on the dash, i can live with that, but if it will be worst and undriaveble then thats not going to work. hope someone has some feedback. thanks
