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

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
