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

    • Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging. 
    • Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.
    • I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John
    • One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...
    • 'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
