I'm trying to find out what UCA's I have still. I feel like this stuff is way more complicated than it needs to be. I just wan to make my truck taller. I feel like the guys that make the lifts should be able to tell me exactly what I need to accomplish that without screwing crap up. The Motofab UCA's say they don't fit Denali's. So I will have to do some more digging around to find out I guess. Thanks for the info though! This is definitely helping!

I checked out a few of that guy's vids, it does seem like he has some good info for sure. *Tyler, you have a good point there. I have done quite a bit of research though, and if parts wear prematurely, I will just have to replace as needed. I want my truck to look tougher than the stock look. I don't think they're tall enough off the assembly line. The Denali's do all have magneride for the '14-'18s. These kits I'm looking at come with the magneride sensor relocation brackets to maintain factory ride quality. I agree about leaving some of the take in there for towing though. That's why I am leaning towards a 3" front/2" rear kit. That only reduces the take by an inch. I believe they are at least 2" take stock, and I do plan on pulling a camper with it, but I won't go more than 6K lbs @ under 600 lb tongue weight, so I'm hoping that wouldn't cause me to squat. ??? It seems there are a LOT of guys out there lifting these things though, so I would think more of them would be mentioning problems if they were common with these kits. Idk, maybe I'm wrong there.

Ok, cool. Good to know! Thanks for the input! I think I will go with the Motofab 3" kit. You'll have to post some pics of your truck when you get that kit installed, it sounds like it's going to look great!

That's good to hear, thanks for the info! I really liked the look of the truck with the 3" and the 285/65s a lot. As far as rubbing the sway bar and uca, I have to ask because I'm new to the truck world (this is my first truck), is that not that big of a deal? It sounds like it'd be bad, lol!

Ok, I know many of these conversations have taken place already, but I'm having a hard time finding specific info that I'm looking for and am hoping someone out there can help out. I have a 2017 Sierra Denali (1500). I'm trying to decide between a 2.5" RC leveling kit, which replaces factory 1" block in the rear with a 2" so would raise back by 1" it seems, or Motofab 3" front/2" rear level. With the RC 2.5", a reviewer on their site says he went with 285/60r20 Duratracs with no rubbing issues. The Motofab 3" has a reviewer that says he's running 285/65r20 but doesn't say whether or not there's any rubbing or trimming needed. I don't want to do any offsets or trimming. I'd of course like to have 0 rubbing, and I want to stick with factory 20" wheels. I'd love to go with the 285/65's if possible, but if those wouldn't fit with the 3" kit, I'd rather go with the 2.5" because I like the look of filling the fender wells as much as possible, so I don't want to lift higher if I can't run larger tires with it. Anyone running 285/65's with a 3" kit?? Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
