Dropped price to $1600

The sway bar link should come off easily without an impact gun. You just need to hold the top of it with some channel locks and be sure to be careful not to damage the boot while holding it steady. There isnt a ton of torque on the link itself, although I cannot remember the ft lb specs per GM.

@nobaddays, thanks! Sorry it took me a bit to get back to you, here are some more angles...

For sale - like new 22x9 wheels and tires off a 2020 Sierra 1500 Denali. Wheels are in perfect condition and tires have only 1300 miles on them. One tire does have a plug in it (just my luck to get a flat @ 600 miles), and they do not have TMPS sensors as I pulled them for use in my new setup. Stock Alenza tires. - $1600 picked up/meet within reasonable distance of the Seattle area, or I will ship at buyer's expense. Thanks!

So I took my rig with only 1400 miles into the dealer today for a CEL. Code was for the battery controls module connection. Turns out my charge air cooler is leaking and dripping into the control module plug, causing the CEL. Anyone else had this issue before? They are ordering the parts and I go in next week for the fix. However I leave tomorrow to tow a 7000 lb trailer 300 miles away, and back. Should I be concerned about driving it? They said it will be fine, but would like to make sure. Also - is the “charge air cooler” the same as an inter cooler? thanks!

Dub Luxe 22x9.5 +20 in gloss black with Ridge Grapplers 285/50 Readylift 2” leveling kit

All done for a bit I think... front window tint, leveling kit, stubby aluminum antenna, black GMC badges, and 22.9.5 +20 Dub Luxe wheels with 285/50/22 ridge grapplers

Awesome, thanks!

@Jonofmac just to confirm - the AT4 skid plate you ordered from GM Parts Warehouse.... did it come painted gloss black? Thx!

I've had this issue a bit too and like some of the others... have noticed it will happen with only a slight decline in wherever I am parked. My driveway is sloped upward toward the house and I prefer to back in, which makes it a royal pain in the ass, actually. @megatron51 does this happen to you also when you're parked uphill? If so, there could definitely be something else at play.

Just installed Readylift 2” leveling kit. New wheels and tires going on at end of the week. 2020 Denali.

Well, for anyone else doing this install themselves, easy solution... I had to remove the bottom nut from the sway bar link to allow the LCA to drop down. Just be sure to support the LCA as it drops to keep it from dropping too low and rapidly. Also be sure to free the half shaft from the hub so there is some play to prevent it from hyper-extending.

So I’ve got my rig taken apart and ready to install the Readylift 2” lift kit, lower strut spacers. Here’s my problem - I can’t get the lower control arm to drop low enough to have room for the spacer between it and the strut. Anyone else run into this? Any suggestions on how I can get some more room down there?

Your stock wheels likely sit approx. 3/4 inch inside the wheel well, give or take. So if you go with a larger spacer than that, you’ll have some poke. My suggestion would be to go with what the shop recommends.

@Jonofmac any update on your build? I have a black Denali and looking to de-chrome is as well. Curious how the lower valance/ skid plate turned out, and also how did the vinyl wrap work out?

Your rig does look damn good... has me wrestling between 22s and 20s for mine. Thinking 20s will be a better ride and not be as flashy. Either way nice work!

Sounds like your truck wants to ROCK TF OUT!

Glad to see this thread as I tow a lot and also load ATVs in the bed. Just upgraded a week ago to a Sierra from an F150. Re: the ball though... I usually pull mine out when not towing and leave it in the trailer. Minimizes risk of damage to the MultiPro, but also prevents rust in the receiver over time. Nice truck!

Awesome, thx. Has a nice look and stance to it. Am I right that your rig was standard suspension (not Trail Boss) before leveling it? Just a front level kit? Sorry for all the q’s, appreciate the response.

Sorry meant -18 offset...

Phi Shoe - Are those 22x10 -19 wheels? Any rubbing with that setup? Any chance you have a pic from the fender angle to see how much they stick out past the fender well? Also I assume no spacers, right? Looks good!

This is helpful, thx for sharing. Anyone have some insight on the ride difference I might see putting 34" tires on a Denali with a 2" front leveling kit? I'm ditching the 22s that came on my rig and putting 20x9 +1 wheels on it soon. Was originally planning to go with stock size 275/60/20 (33x10.8) KO2s. However, this thread has me thinking about going a bit bigger with 295/60/20 (33.9x11.6) Pro Comp A/T Sports. I figure I would likely need to trim a bit less with a 34" tire vs coty52's 35s, which is nice, however I am more concerned with the bigger change in ride and fuel economy. So... curious if anyone has put ~34x11.5 tires on their standard leveled rig yet and can share how it rides.

Good looking rig, are these 20s?

All of this makes sense and sounds exactly like what I had going on. I noticed when in the drive thru today that it sounded much more like a diesel. Not gonna lie I kinda liked that part of it. Noticed a higher idle too. Drove more tonight and didn’t notice the smell at all. Appreciate all the input!

Pics would be great, may be interested. Is the gloss black the same as the OEM Onyx black, painted? Thx!
