Just recently did my 2015 Sierra Denali with the suspension maxx kit. Had my dealer install kit, tires I brought, and aligned the front end for just over $500 parts and labor. Looks awesome and rides

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?

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

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

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
