I ordered a pair of 5100's this afternoon. Can't wait until they get here!

 

Now time to do some tire shopping!

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.

Just got my lift done two days ago and wheels and tires done yesterday. 2016 All Terrain. Readylift 2.25" with Method NV 17x8.5 0 offset wrapped in 285/70/17 Duratracs. No rub. Rear mud flaps, Go Rhino RB10s, and GM/Borla exhaust are ordered. Quick cell phone pics...

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?

    • I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !. 
    • Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.
    • Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!
    • I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.
    • The TCM has to be flashed before it can drive.   If you installed it the way it is, it has the OS (operating system/program) from the 2010 truck you got it from. That will not match with the VIN/OS pair that your 2013 truck has.   You can do the full install. Then tow it to a dealership and they can flash the trucks PCM/TCM with the latest program for your VIN.
