Idk why the pictures flip but that’s where I cut. Today I rubbed a little while backing out of my driveway and turning the whee all the way. I’m sure if I cut the felt up a little higher I would rub but I’m not. I spray painted the metal tab I cut and hit the edges up.

How tall are the back tires from ground to top of the tread when on the truck?

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 want a lift...…….but it sounds like 2.5" is the max these trucks should have, before doing a full bracket lift?

 

I am thinking about a 2.5" front leveling kit, using the stock struts

 

1/2" bottom strut spacer and a 2" top spacer or a 2" bottom strut spacer and 1/2" top spacer? Which would be better and why?

 

Then, I would remove the stock rear block (1-1/4") and installing a 2" or 2.5" tall rear block

 

The cap and gear sagged the rear end almost 3/4"...………..so I am leaning towards the 2.5" rear block

 

I like my 18" wheels and want to try to keep them, just add larger tires

Just do a 2.5” top spacer. No point in splitting it between top and bottom

How much room do you have with the 285/65R18?

 

275/70R18 : 33.20" x 10.80" (1.6" taller and .40" wider than stock

Not much of a increase over stock......I know I could fit a 275 series easy, but also like the wider tread

285/65R18 : 32.60" x 11.20" (1" taller and 0.8" wider than stock)
285/70R18 : 33.70" x 11.20" (2.1" taller and 0.8" wider than stock)
285/75R18 : 34.80" x 11.20" (3.2" taller and 0.8" wider than stock)

Did you have to trim any metal to fit those tires?

Nope just had to do the normal trimming on the plastic. I bought some trim plates just in case, but I didn’t have to use them.

Great thanks! Do you have any pictures of what you trimmed? I want to do the same setup

Not the cleanest trim, I used a dremel tool.

Quick question, I searched for hours with not too much conclusive luck...

 

Will aftermarket control arms such as Readylift work for a 2017 Denali with magneride? I have a 2.5 inch level kit waiting to go on but want to replace the stamped steel control arms as well to be safe.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
