Hey Whaley, i honestly think you'll be okay.. the G2's arent a super luggy tire (correct me if im wrong).. i currently have the 2.5" level, 20x10-24 with 33x12.5's.. they are the comforser MT's so they are quite luggy and i only rub a small bit of plastic (inner cab corner) in reverse.. seeing as how the 285/55R22 equals about a 34x11.2 I really think you'll be okay.. the stock tires that came on my stock 22's were 285/45R22, you're really only going up in height and staying the stock width!

I have been in and out of this form and a few others so I thought I’d post an update.. i ended up going with the SuspensionMaxx 2.5” level in the front for now.. I intended on using my stock 22’s.. however, I came across a sweet deal on new Mayhem wheels and new rubber.. I couldn’t say no! Lol here she is now.. very excited with how it turned out! The brackets for the Magride make it ride basically the same as before!

Well I thought I would post an update.. I decided going with a 2.5” level in the front.. and ended up getting a sweet deal on new wheels and rubber that I couldn’t turn down.. heres a pic of her now! Very excited and turned out better than I expected!! It’s squatting a bit in the rear with the oem wheels in the back lol once they were out it was back level lol

thank you!!!

Hey pdosescu.. another question for you! did you have to do anything with the Mag ride sensor? ive read a few more forms and guys have had to relocate, adjust or have the dealership "zero" everything with the computers.. just thought i would ask you since you have the same kit i want lol thanks in advance again!

Lol it really is! It’s tough to get a for sure answer as everyone runs a little bit of a different set up! You really have to be the guinea pig of your own set up and hope for the best! That is surprising on a pickup.. I know cars usually have a wider stance in the front vs. The rear.. you’d think a pickup would be a little more even!

I read that too but also heard you can because the bds lifts widen the track width.. by about 1-1.5” lol it’s tough to really figure it out haha

Well if you don’t mind throwing a spacer on I’m sure you could get away with it.. according to the other guy with a 17 Denali he ran a 1.25” and hasn’t had any issues with the 4” Fabtech.. might be an option? If I get mine in before you (hoping in the next month) I’ll be sure to let you know how it goes!

I have the same in my truck and have been debating the same.. I’m going with the 4” Fabtech uniball lift! It’s supposed to be a good solid lift. They say you can’t run stock wheels however someone on these forms is running the stock 22’s with 1.25” spacers!

Thank you! much appreciated!

Thank you very much! I appreciate the response! On their website it says you can’t run stock wheels.. which I’m the same way.. want it semi stock looking for now but want a more aggressive look and a little height! Glad I found your post!! I was already thinking of ordering spacers as well! Likely 1.5” but all and all thank you very much! Your truck looks great!!

i know this is a really old post.. but i have been searching and searching and finally found someone with a denali with the uniball fabtech 4 inch lift!! this is the exact setup i am looking to run in my 15 denali, stock 22s with 33's.. can i ask how this setup has lasted?? and my bigger question is, did this lift widen the front track width? im about to pull the trigger on this lift so i am just wondering if i should be ordering spacers as well.. i do want the wheels to poke.. 1-1.5 inch or so.. thanks in advance!

Thank you! I’ve read and read and see quite a few people use Fabtech so I’m hopig the quality is there! The magneride is a nice feature but makes it difficult to find kits lol You wish you went higher? That’s what I’m tossed between.. I really want a 6 but the amount of driving I do for work and the clients that will be in and out of my truck I’m leaning to a 4 just for those reasons.. it sucks lol but I guess a bit of height is better then nothing! I think I’m going to run the 4 with 33’s that poke out slightly.. trying to find a good set of chrome wheels that won’t get chewed up in the winters up here! Im assuming most 4-6 lift kits will widen the track width in the front? Ps. Your truck looks great!!

I figured as much! According to the kit details online it does keep the angles in check.

That’s what I figured!! However, BDS doesn’t have a 4 inch kit for the magneride suspension.. can anyone speak on Fabtech?? They have a 4 inch that works with the magneride for the Denali!

I was thinking the same!! I was also thinking a 4 inch lift.. but with the magneride in the Denali is making my selection tough. Do 4 inch lifts mess with your angles at all? Or are they all pretty good now? Really tossed between the 4 and 6”.. BDS doesn’t have a 4inch that’s compatible with the magneride.. which is making it tough.

thank you very much for the insight and experience! its tough, i am slightly worried about it but at the same time i really want a lift.. would staying in the 33inch range be any better? i mean being on 22inch wheels there wont be much rubber to them at all.. probably same with the 35's.. on another note, the only companies i can find are BDS and Rough Country that do the magneride lift kits dor the Denali`s.. does anyone know of anything else? i like BDS for the quality i keep hearing about, the warranty and the fact they keep your angles pretty close to stock.. rough country i keep hearing they throw your angles all out of whack.. and the quality isnt the best.. from what i can find, if i dont go with the 6inch BDS im basically stuck with Rough Country and their 5inch lift! thank you again! i really appreciate the help!!!

Hey everyone, i have been reading and reading these forms for weeks now as this is my first pick up truck.. and i definitely want to lift it.. it's a 2015 Sierra 1500 Denali with 3.42 gears.. current wheels are 285/45R22... i have been tossed between a 4 inch lift and a 6 inch lift but i think i will regret not going bigger if i go with the 4 inch.. so im looking at a 6inch BDS. The truck has beautiful stock 22's which i was planning on keeping and just adding rubber.. and a spacer on the rears to bring them flush with the front wheels.. my dilemma is.. which size tires to go with.. i have looked at some pictures that show a 6inch lift on 33's or slightly larger (33.5) and they dont look too bad.. but i also like the look of the 35's. truck still has powertain and bumper to bumper warranty which ill cross that road if i get there lol but what im wondering is will 35's be too hard on the trans? i didnt really plan on regearing especially until the warranty is up (approx. 2 years). i dont tow much at all.. maybe a trailer full of dirtbikes.. and its my daily driver which for work its a mix of city and highway driving. im coming from a sport SUV so i know theres a big loss in power already comparing the 2 .. will it be that much worse? will my mix of driving hurt my truck? i do plan on some road trips with the bikes.. gas mileage im really not overly worried about.. my SUV was a PIG on fuel and premium at that.. sorry for the long not here guys but im just trying to get some more assistance to help my decision! i definitely dont want to be putting a lot of stress on the truck.. but i have been itching to lift it and add tires lol thanks in advance everyone!
