Hey Guys,

New to the forum, and glad to be finally back into a truck after a few years.  So I just recently purchased a used 2015 denali 6.2 with 55k miles, and the previous owner installed a leveling kit.  Now the problem is that they did not install a relocation bracket for the magneride sensor.  I noticed that it seemed to ride rougher than my dads non denali and so I started doing more research on here and other places.  I had heard that if you didn't want to go the bracket route, you could have the dealer reset the shocks to zero in the computer so the truck knows its level.  Since I had just bought it a little over two weeks ago, I figured I would just take it back to the dealer and make them do it.  When I got there and meet with the suspension guy, he said hes done over 100 leveling kits, and hes's never had to put a bracket in there.  So he said he wanted to check the shocks to see if they were ok, and once he got it up on the lift, he then noticed that they were leaking and would need to be replaced.  He drove it and agreed that the ride was really stiff and said with the new shocks the ride should be 20x's better than before.  Since I didnt have to pay for anything I said absolutely, go ahead and replace the front struts.

 

Long story short, got the truck back, and yes the ride is definitely better, but it still feels fairly stiff.  So I was hoping that if someone on here had the brackets on their's they could hook me up with some dimensions and I could just make some of my own.  I called suspension maxx, but they told me they could only sell me the brackets if I had some sort of proof of purchase, but of course I don't because the previous owner is the one who purchased it.  

 

I appreciate any help or advice in advanced.

 

Thanks, Adam

Hey Adam,

 

I have a set of suspension maxx brackets that I'll measure up in the morning.

Hope this helps. Depending on your lift height, that will tell you which holes you need to put in. 7c7f1fbaa344252cb4c1fd5eb6094c86.jpg

It looks like the m6 hole is 1" up and then the two bottom holes would be at .5 is that correct?  And again thank you for taking the time to measure it all up.

Good evening. I just installed a 3” front leveling kit and 2” rear leveling kit on my 2017 Denali. I installed a relocation bracket for the MagnaRide, but I don’t think the spacing was enough for a 3”. My truck is riding extremely rough/bouncy. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Did you have any luck softening up the ride with 3" front and 2"  rear leveling setup?  I am thinking of doing the same to 2016 suburban ltz.  Any advice is appreciated.

    • I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!
    • Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.
    • We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.
    • Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
