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.

Truck looks great... This is the look i am gonna go for.. But I'm thinking really hard about doing the bilstein's 5100 instead.. But hope to get the same look with the same tires.. With your setup do you think the Weathertech no drill mud flaps will still be able to be used when turning front tires?

 

Again nice looking truck!!

Thanks! I haven't seen what they look like inside the wheel well, but I can only imagine it would make things very close when its already a close call as is.

So is the Suspensionmaxx kit the only leveling option currently MADE for the Denali's with magnetic ride? I know some mentioning Motofab, etc but these are kits where the shop moves around the sensor's themselves.

Do you think the 285s or 295s on stock rims would fit width wise without rubbing on a RC 2.5 level?

I would think so. Initially, I had just a 2" level with 305s and the slightest rub at full lock in reverse. Of course it depends on how tall you go as well.

I'm going with Bilstein 5100's here in the next week or so. I want to put them on their highest setting for the most amount of lift in the front. How will my ride quality compare to stock if they are at the max setting?

From what I have read ride quality will be nice but just a bit stiffer. I'm putting on the RC 2 inch this weekend and if I do not like the look of it (nose high) I will be getting the 5100's.

So...what's the verdict then on leveling kits with magnetic suspension on my 2016 Denali? Do I need a specific kit? I know I want a 2" level, but no clue what route to go on manufacturer. Help!

I just put the Bilstein 5100s set at the highest level on my truck. Its still a bit taller in the rear but a much better stance than stock. Soon to have 285/70r17 bfg a/t ko2s pending funds.

I have a 2.5in leveling kit here that I was going to install, but I decided to not get bigger tires.

 

I think the 2.5" on stock tires will look stupid, so I think a 2" level is the way to go for me on stock tire size...

My buddy just had a level kit installed that was the top strut version. His guy said it had better ride quality than the lower strut block I'm doing.

 

Is that true? Am I sacrificing for a super rough ride?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
