Looking to purchase a 2020 Denali 2500 4x4. Asked the dealer about leveling the truck and was basically told no because of the ARC. Was told they had installed 2 and customers hated them because of the ride. Curious what anyone here’s experience has been. Love the Denali but that’s a deal breaker for me if I can’t level it and get a decent ride. Any info is highly appreciated.

I have not been able to find a specific level kit for the 2020 Denali 2500
So none of the 2020 denali HD trucks have ARC it has been removed for the model year so just about any kit out there will work. Your dealer doesn't know what they are talking about though. There are numerous kits to choose from

If the trucks they leveled maxed out the travel of the upper control arms, of course they probably rode like sh*t. I think the key to leveling these trucks and maintaining a decent ride is to find a reputable kit that includes new UCA's.

I leveled my 2020 3500 and it rides like a dream. Like gSwift said, the key to the ride quality is changing the UCA’s as well. I went with McGaughy’s, but also considered the Cognito kit. Both have UCA options.

My 2020 2500 is leveled with a 1.5in block in rear, new bilstein 5100’s all the way around.  It rides excellent, better than a stock truck.  The kit I installed includes new upper control arms.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
