I've seen some tall CB antenna's but that thing is unreal!! ;)

I have a 17 Denali with the magneride and want to keep my 22's. Im looking at about a 2.5" level. Which lift is better for the control arm angles; 2.5" spacer on top of the coil spring, and 2.5" spacer on the bottom shock mount, or a combo of the two? There aren't a lot of options for the magneride.

I have a 17 denali ultimate with magneride and want to keep my OEM wheels. I'm looking to do about a 2.5" front and maybe a 2" rear block and run the 285/55/22. There really aren't many level kits specifically for the magneride. I have seen the Suspension Maxx kit but im not real sure about the "Maxxstak" and how it will last over time. The Rough Country is out of stock for my stamped steel control arms. It looks like the Proryde might be compatible but I don't see brackets and a hole in the top for the wires to run through. Did anyone recalibrate their speedometer to the new tire specs, and who did you get to do that for you? It looks like the speed will be off 4+mph with the bigger tire.

My GMC dealer told me I could put the lift put on and they were cool with it, but wouldn't warranty the parts, obviously. He also said that the GM rep for my area was hard on people who installed lifts, level kits, and programmers. He would pull the warranty if he came into the shop and an "altered" truck was being worked on under warranty. It didn't matter what the problem being worked on was. Kinda, put the kibosh on my plans.

6" lift guys with 35's, what is your overall height to the top of the onstar antenna (not really worried about the FM radio height)? And is anyone running the factory 22" wheels? I like the OEM's and don't want to have to shell out the $$ for a new set of wheels. I have an 82 1/2" garage door opening (under the weather stripping) that is worrying me about this setup. I'm still in the looking stage as to what I want to put on, because it has to fit in the garage. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the info WildChevy. The Rough Country site shows their 5" is good with the magnaride. Zone's doesn't say either way, ill have to call sometime. I looked at the BDS site and they only show a 6" lift for the magnaride. I have a garage door that is going to make going with a 6" and 35" tires a little too close for comfort. One of the shops that I am pricing at has now made me nervous about whether my local GMC dealer will do the warranty work on it with a lift. I didn't even price it there because I am close enough to Laura GMC that I just went there (+every time I have priced anything at this dealership they are always quite a bit higher). I guess I could always make the 2 hr drive to Laura if I needed to but really don't want to. When I asked the shop about my speedo, he talked like there was a company (cant remember off the top of my head) that had a couple tunes and also reprogrammed the speedo for tire size. Of course for an additional 325 bones.

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie here who has been creeping for a period of time. I just get a new 17 Denali ultimate and I am wanting to do a lift and tires. I'm looking at a 5" rough country or a 4.5 Zone. I really like the OEM 22" wheels and would like to keep them. I'm looking at a 285/55/22 Nitto G2. As most people know the factory wheels are a 32" and these would be 34+, but the width would be the same. Zone says there wouldn't be any fitment issues with this tire. Now my worry is that I wont be able to program the truck to these tires. I did a search here and didn't really come up with much about speedometer recalibration. The "calculator" that found on another post says that at 70mph now would be almost 75 with the 34" tire. I'm wondering what everyone who has lifted and increased tire size has done? I would like my speedo and mpg's to read right. Also, what about upgrading the brakes? I understand that I'm not going to a 40" tire or anything but is that something that GMC can come back on when/if there is a warranty issue? Thanks for the insight.
