Has anyone found a 2.5" lift / level that works properly in the 2017 GMC Denali with the Magneride ? I have called everywhere locally and keep getting mixed answers. I want to be sure before I start messing with it. Thanks for your help in advance !!

i have a bds 4in lift and i love it. just dont care for the front tires sticking out an 1.5in more than the rear. im thinking its because of the new spindle. but why do they do that, what is the benefit of that?

just get 1.5" rear spacers to even track width.

Ok so here's what I have got, any help is always appreciated!! Ps I'm only looking for 2-2.5" of lift which is part of my issue I'm sure.

 

Rough country used to make a kit for 2016 which used a 2" spacer under the strut, and a 0.5" preload spacer

 

They had issues with the preload spacer and have pulled it while they rework it but another person says it's completely dead.

 

They also said I can't use the top mount spacer but don't know why?

 

So my option with them is to use 2" spacers only in the front and the 2.5" blocks on the rear (which sounds like it will give me crazy rake but I have a toolbox which has leveled out the truck quite a bit. So that might actually look fine ? Opinions

 

 

Option 2: suspension maxx says they use a 2" spacer at the front and then shims on top of the strut to get 2.5 without any issue ?? So I'm wondering why rough country says it's not possible? Also I know there is potential for coil bucket contact with top mount spacers ? Maybe this is why rough country is against it ?

 

 

What do you guys think ? I don't want a "lifted" truck just a little closer to the HD truck stance.

I have a suspension maxx at 2" and have had np for 10K miles. When dealer realigned front end, it only needed minor adjustment on the lower L or R, can't remember slight adjustment. Otherwise, rides great, no codes, no problems and everything appears to be wearing fine.

That's great news !! I think I'm going to add an inch in the back and 2" in the front. I carry a big toolbox so I need a little rake it in so it comes out level. After all the research I ordered the 2" lift from RC for the front & im going to fab up the rear blocks myself and also some relocation brackets for the sensors.
