Lowering 2015 Sierra 1500 Denali

[HRT]

Hey all,

 

I am looking if anyone has came up with a solution to the magnetic ride issue with lowering the truck. I want to go 3/6 but want the magnetic ride to work properly. Any advise or know of any lowering kits out there that relocate the sensors?

 

I currently am running a rear shackle drop and 24's.

 

Thanks.

Is that KC trends?!?

 

I live on the other side of KC from there, but I go by that place all the time when I'm in Overland Park.

 

 

Sorry, I'm no help on lowering your truck.

I imagine it is similar process people go through for leveling w/ mag ride, gotta fab brackets for the sensors and get them lowered EXACTLY the same distance as you're changing the shock height.

 

but, why? I HATE dropped trucks (unless its a sport truck) - and that's personal preference, but I think yours already looks good as it is and would imagine dropping it will just hurt ride comfort, I would remove the front air dam though so you don't drag it on anything

Not to be off topic but good to see members in the kc area.

I leveled mine and had to fabricate the leveler for the shock.

I also added shock extenders.

Can we let the man mod his truck his own way ? What ever tickles the pickle.

I'm actually about to do a 3/6 drop to my '15 Sierra SLT. Sorry I can't help you out with the magnetic ride problem. I was just wondering what drop kits you're thinking about getting? My plan is to go with the DJM 3" Lowering control arms and the Belltech flip kit w/ Belltech street performance shocks. I believe this setup will be as close as you can get to stock ride quality.

I was about to say the same! I'm not located in KC but up in the area often.

Yes, I am in KC area. KC Trends I have do all my work if I don't do it. Very professional and do things the right way. They work on allot nicer stuff than my rig.

 

Not sure on what kit or even how low yet still "tickling my pickle" haha that was good. I would like to go 4/7 but cringe thinking about the times my wife might drive it. I do that already with the wheels, no drive thru for her in my vehicle.

 

I have been looking at Crown but that is the reason I started the thread. I would think a manufacturer would want to be the first to come up with the magnetic brackets. I know it is not that hard but will take some time in engineering to make sure the drop height and brackets are the same. I got the Denali because of the mag ride, knowing it can keep almost the factory ride lowered or raised with some modification

What model/brand shackles in the rear?

 

Good to see a bunch of KS members!

Old Topic but McGaughys has the kits for the Magnaride now. I don't like that you need to cut the sensors though.

I ran into this manufacture at an off road show over the weekend. They have a rear shock lowering bracket that keeps the Magnaride without cutting the sensor.

I just lowered my 2017 Denali yesterday 2/3 (spindles and shackles) and the back rides like crap.

The installer (GM Shop) did nothing about shock extensions or any adjustments to the sensor rods. I can do both myself, but not happy with the ride quality as the magneride is out of its factory seting range.

What length of sensor rod did you use? cut mine down and re thread

what part number for shock extensions?
