Another Magneride Leveling Question

[Tkronemeyer]

I put the ReadyLift 2.25” leveling Kit with control arms on my 2018 Denali and then had the alignment and had the dealer reset the magnaride and it still rides like crap when you get above 65 the front end “bounces” like crazy. It’s almost like the magnaride is reacting to itself and going from soft to stiff repeatedly as you go down the road. Any ideas how to fix this?

The UCA replacement was because the stamped ones don't react as kindly to a lift as the machines ones do.

14-15 trucks had machined UCAs and didn't need replacing. But I digress.

From what I see online, the lift is still a spacer ring that preloads your factory front spring.

Force exerted by a spring = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is how much it is displaced from rest.

You're displacing it 2.25", so it's already exerting that much extra upward force. Any bump you encounter increases it, and so it feels as the factory suspension setup would if the bump were larger.

Your shocks only try to dampen the bounce so you don't just oscillate up and down repeatedly after you drive over the bump.

It is what it is, I'm afraid. That's the nature of the beast my man! The only way around that is to change the spring to a 2.25" longer one with the same spring constant (k) of your factory spring and ditching the spacer.
