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.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
