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 !!

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.

No Magneride, just an Elevation edition.

Yup that's the one I was looking at, but rough country said if I use their Version that uses the top shim too that it may overextend and damage steering linkages ? Do I trust rough country or suspension maxx ?

I have the Rough Country 2.0" level kit on my 2017 Denali with Magneride, installed by the dealer. Zero issues, rides like factory or better. Truck is also perfectly level. No rear blocks.

This thread has several members who have used the Suspension Maxx level kits on 15+ Sierra Denalis with no issues. One member used Ebay spacers and fabricated his own Magnaride sensor relocation bracket for less than $30. Good luck with whatever you choose.

Is this specific to 2017 Denalis? I've got the rough country 2.5 lift/level kit, any reason I shouldn't put it on my '17 with magnaride?

I searched this thread for days upon days looking at all the pictures you guys post of your rides and comments about everything before I did anything to my 2014 Z71 and I was wondering if anyone has pictures of an installed 2.5" RC Lift/level kit with and without blocks in the rear to see the difference it shows.

As long as you have the version intended for Magnaride it should be fine. The main difference is that it comes with two little brackets that adjust the magnaride sensors to account for the lift. Very straightforward. You CANNOT use a regular lift/level kit on Magnaride without these, or your truck will drive like a dump truck.

According to rough country there is nothing for 2017 Denali specifically only up to 16 which doesn't make sense to me ? What did they chance that makes such a difference in 17 ? Only difference I have found is that they went from aluminum control arms to stamped steel ?

This is the problem ... only change was the stamped control arms .. now they say you can't use the top spacer & they don't have a kit for the rear .. just 2" level kit for the front ... frustrating to say the least.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
