For what it's worth, I saw this truck this weekend and talked to the owner. He said it was a 15 and he had it leveled. He said it didn't change the ride after he got it leveled... Wish I could've driven it to see.

Were you able to find out which kit he used?

Man, I didn't. Wish I had.

The angle of the picture might be deceiving, but it almost looks to me that the rear has been lowered.

I don't think so. I walked around it a couple times. The overall stance of the truck was taller than stock. It really looked good. I wish I had asked who did it and what leveling kit. He said he took it in for a lift kit and they called him back, telling him they couldn't lift it, but could level it. I thought that was a bit odd. I've spoken to the local shop who does most of the truck lifts and levels around here and they said they've leveled several new Denali's. I'm just not completely confident at this point.

Could you share the name of the shop that said they leveled the new Denali?

Saw this truck at the dealership with a 4" lift, which is encouraging as I thought a 4" would be too much. Makes me think the Fabtech lift for magnetic ride might not be so bad. This had 305/55/20's

I called the phone number above and got asked, "what is magnetic ride?"

FML! :(

Exactly! That's the guys that work the front. They're the one's who told me they've leveled Denali's... I'm thinking the 4" Fabtech might be the way to go for me. While I'd still rather level it, the 4" lift still looks pretty good. I'm looking at some pics from Laura where they've done the 4" Fabtech on some and look pretty good.

why does a lift on a non-denali make you think it will work for a denali?

I just didn't think I would like a 4" lift vs leveling as far as the look of the truck. Seeing that truck, I think the 4" looks just as good.

I assume the Fabtech 4" lift for magnetic ride would work fine on the Denali.

There is a shop in Alpharetta Ga ( Southern Offroad ) Specialists that can level Denali's, I'm sure thats far for most of you. They make an extension bracket for the Rod that ties the the control arm, by keeping it level it still thinks its on even ground, so to speak. Someone asked earlier, the actual rake of the front to back is 2.25". I think most go with a 2" and can hardly tell. With alignment etc, its $660.00. Hope this helps

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
