I was excited about it because the reviews talk about how smooth of a ride they give compared to stock. I sometimes regret getting the Z71 over the standard 4x4 because of the stiff suspension in it. Potholes and speed bumps will jar your bones!

 

Oh, and do you have to get a new alignment with the quicklifts? I assume you would but not sure.

Yes you will need an alignment. They will lift the front end 2".

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

I had the Rancho Quick lift level kit on my Denali. The ride was better than stock but I took them off to put a 4" Fabtech lift instead. post-130662-0-77893300-1412736103_thumb.jpgpost-130662-0-27520500-1412736122_thumb.jpgpost-130662-0-56371100-1412736137_thumb.jpg

Yes 2" Spacers for a better look IMO.

Ok guys I have read the entire post haven't seen an answer to the set up I am getting ready to order. Wanted to get some input. Looking at a XD Misfit +0 offset. Will a 305/55/20 fit with no rubbing? Or do I need to go with a 295/55/20. Looking at putting fender flares on so wanted a tire that wasn't tucked underneath.

I installed the rancho quik lifts, so far I am very happy with them, the ride is better.

What setting did you keep them on when you had them? These look pretty cool!

Shouldn't rub with +0 Offset. My +20 offset rubs very slightly at full lock because they set in 3/4" and hit the sway bar.

What tire are you running? On your tag you show a 305/50/20. Im looking at a 305/55/20 which is a bit taller. May try a 295/55/20

Yes a 305/50/20 mine is a Toyo AT II 32" tall vs 305/55/20 is 33" tall I have plenty of room for a taller tire but the width on a +20 offset is the issue. a +1 would move the rim out 3/4" and I'd have no rubbing. There are other guys running 305/55R20 MT's on a 0 or +1 offset with 2" level and no rubbing on this forum.

The Rancho website says that these 2 inch QuickLifts are not compatible with the Z71 package. Does your Denali have the Z71 option? Any idea why? I do have the aluminum LCA's.

On the Rancho website it says they have 9 position adjustability. Is this for stiffness of ride or for lift height? (Or maybe for both if they are linked to each other).

 

I really want a 1.5" lift, but this does have appeal.

I wonder if they claim they are not Z71 compatible because it is not as stiff as the Z71 which is part of the point of the Z71.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      Navigating senior years.

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
