Just got my 22” ck158 (+31) reps wrapped in 285/55/R22 Nitto Terra Grappler G2s today. Love the look and glad I went with these over the 305/45s.

This is on a 2.5” RC Level with the 1” rear blocks.

Slight rub at full lock in reverse so I plan to do a bit of trimming or tie backs with zip ties.

Let me know what you guys think!

I added the spacer for the look mostly. It's the same front and rear and it looks pretty solid. I ran a SuspensionMaxx 2.5" level. I loved it and the bracket for the relocation of the level sensor was good. It was actually accidentally transferred to the Fabtech control arms and it ended up making my whole lift ride better because it put the sensor at a better angle. Here's the truck with the level.

The ride was pretty much same as stock. The only time I could feel a difference was at 75+mph and I think the aerodynamic change was the biggest difference.

 

I would highly recommend a true lift for such a size tire. Yes, it could technically fit on just a level, but it really doesn't make a lot of sense to limit the movement of the suspension that way. But I built this truck to be able to drive through a ditch if I feel like it... haha you know what I mean though.

 

Here's the truck with the Fabtech 4". I'd highly recommend this set up. I'll take pics of the upper ball joint if you want. It's solid.

i know this is a really old post.. but i have been searching and searching and finally found someone with a denali with the uniball fabtech 4 inch lift!!  this is the exact setup i am looking to run in my 15 denali, stock 22s with 33's.. can i ask how this setup has lasted?? and my bigger question is, did this lift widen the front track width? 

 

im about to pull the trigger on this lift so i am just wondering if i should be ordering spacers as well.. i do want the wheels to poke.. 1-1.5 inch or so.. 

 

thanks in advance!

The front end track didn’t widen.. at least not anything I can notice. I did install front and rear 1.25” spacers. The lift has been holding up well. I’ve had it on for 8 months and 19K miles. The lift has held up well. I have some noises here and there but the alignment is holding great and the tires are wearing very well. I’ve had everything re-torqued after about 10k miles and I’m going to have it done again in a few weeks. I take my truck off road a lot and I drive it pretty hard. It’s almost always muddy. Some people think I’m crazy to take a Denali off road but hey, that’s why I built it!

Thank you very much! I appreciate the response! On their website it says you can’t run stock wheels.. which I’m the same way.. want it semi stock looking for now but want a more aggressive look and a little height! Glad I found your post!! I was already thinking of ordering spacers as well! Likely 1.5” but all and all thank you very much! Your truck looks great!!

Hey pdosescu.. another question for you! did you have to do anything with the Mag ride sensor? ive read a few more forms and guys have had to relocate, adjust or have the dealership "zero" everything with the computers.. just thought i would ask you since you have the same kit i want lol 

 

thanks in advance again!

I didn’t have anything done at the dealership. I made small metal brackets to move the level sensor up about 1 inch from the factory position. The Fabtech 4” had upper control arms so the geometry is not the same. But I still made 4 total adjustment holes/levels and I adjusted the level sensor around for a few weeks until I found the setting that rode and dampened the best.

Sounds like the level kit i got from suspension maxx. they give you a bracket to adjust the magnaride bracket according to the amount of level you choose. Level is ok but now im going for the 6 inch lift with 35's but want to keep my oem 20 inch denali wheels & that is an issue

Now that is a clean Denali! 4 inch fabtech? OEM wheels? Made your own bracket for the magna ride?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
