Any of them should work. Rough country seems to be pretty highly used.

And stock tires are 265/65/18, yours are definitely bigger than stock.

They probably are 265/65/18. I was trying to go off the top of my head. From looking around online, it seems that the economical way to go is the lower strut spacer.

Has anybody on here tried the leveling kit from Suspension Maxx, https://www.suspensionmaxx.com/store/product/SMX-GM725? It appears to be able to handle the Magnetic Ride Control with a bracket as well as being adjustable. Price seems great too.

I don't think so....I originally bought the rough country kit. I asked my dealer what it would cost for them to install and about warranty, they told me they use pro comp bc it was gm certified lol....whatever that means. I took it as BS but bought the procomp and installed it to avoid any trouble down the road with them. Went in for an oil change and they asked was I there for my level. Told them no, I bought the pro comp since they said it was "certified" and installed it. They did like it tho lol.

Jerry's Denali · October 27, 2015

My Denali has the magneride so I went to Lowes and purchased a 3/16 x 3ft aluminum rod. Cut it to the length I needed for both front ride sensors, pulled the ends off original linkage(press fit), pressed them on the new rod and installed back on truck.

No stacking of washers or make shift brackets and it only cost $2.

It looks 100% stock after I painted it black.

I installed a 2.5 level kit, the rod only had to be extended 5/8 of an inch.

My front suspension started making these clunking sounds when I go over bumps after installing the Bilstein 5100s. Has this happened to any else or is it just a faulty installation?

Check sway bar end links. Your comment appears often in the forums. Most usually someone didn't tighten them, or something else, enough.

Thanks! This fixed 90% of the noise. I retightened all the bolts and still get a little noise when going over bumps or when turning.

Did you retighten the ones in the middle of the sway-bar, as well as all the ones connected with the Bilstein install? They always say to recheck after some mileage.

Also, just a question... did you get your alignment, yet? Could they have left something loose?

Yes I installed the Suspension Maxx Kit on My 15 Denali 4x4. Great kit and zero problems. I have magnetic ride shocks also. I suggest if you go with this kit only level up 2" on front or you might have to add rear block kit. I went with 2.5" up front and now need to do the rear,- or drop front to get the up rake taken care of.

kuulhand · November 1, 2015

Awesome. Mine comes tomorrow. I was going to start with the 1.5" and see how it looks. I still use my truck for "truck stuff" like camping and a couple of dirt bikes so I don't want the rear to sag too much with some weight in the back. Don't really want to block it either.

How was the install? Looks pretty straightforward, any gotchas?

I would like to raise the front of my 2015 GMC Sierra 4x4 SLE. But I'm not sure to install a 1.5"level kit from ready lift or install shock Bilstein 5100 height adjustable. Please help me to make a decision.
