Anyone running a front level with their Denali? I have a 2021 Denali and have the Rough Country kit sitting in the garage but haven't pulled the trigger on it...I keep seeing comments online about leveling kits causing issues with ARC (or suspension issues in general) but not seeing anything solid.

 

Anyone have any specific ARC issues with a front level? I do wonder, the Rough Country kit is super cheap...but in general they don't seem overly complicated so not sure that a more expensive kit would make a difference.

It's just spacing up the strut from the bottom. It's a common lift technique for most front strut trucks. The bracket is the key for the ARC since it moves up the sensor arm to stock location with the lift. It should keep everything operating as stock.

Thanks GETGONE - I was thinking the same from just looking at instructions, aside from the ARC relocation bracket it's just a strut spacer more or less....I couldn't see how this should cause any crazy/undue wear and tear and hopefully the ride quality remains the same or better! Hard to find much on modified Denalis, unless i'm just totally missing the posts!

 

Thanks for taking the time to reply, cheers!

I have an 08 Avalanche LTZ with the magnaride and auto level, The shocks were junk so I replaced them with standard struts in the front and wired in diodes to eliminate the warning lights for the magnaride. The rear has air shocks. Since it was lifted when I bought it, whoever lifted it extended the threaded rods to keep the auto level working properly. Same kind of concept on the new trucks, just hopefully more advanced since 2008.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?
